Frequently Asked Questions
What can you give a cat for a cough?
What can you give a cat for a cough?
Treating your cat’s coughing will depend on the underlying cause. However, there are several cat medicines for cough that may be able to help. In addition, depending on the cause, your vet may offer the following treatments for coughing in cats:
- Antibiotics: If your cat has an upper respiratory illness causing the cough, your vet will give them antibiotics to fight the illness and eliminate the side effects.
- Steroids: Cats with asthma may receive steroids to reduce inflammation and irritation in the airways caused by allergens.
- Antihistamines: If your cat suffers from allergies and coughs, sneezes, or experiences itchy skin, antihistamines can treat the symptoms. Of course, you should also aim to reduce allergens, such as dust, mold, and smoke, from around your home.

Can I give my cat Robitussin?
Can I give my cat Robitussin?
You should refrain from giving your cat human cough medicine without consulting your vet. Robitussin can be an effective treatment for coughing in cats, but you should always understand the potential risks and know the correct dosage before giving your pet any human medicine. In addition, some human cough medicines are not safe for cats and may contain toxic ingredients, so if you’re worried about your cat’s coughing, it’s best to have them diagnosed and treated.
Cough medicines for cats only mask the symptoms; they won’t treat underlying causes like allergies or illnesses that cause coughing. They’ll make your cat more comfortable, but you should talk to a vet to have them diagnosed to treat the primary illness.
How do you treat coughing in cats?
How do you treat coughing in cats?
There are several treatment options available for coughing in cats. However, the proper treatment for your cat will depend on the underlying cause. For example, if your cat coughs due to allergies, your vet will work with you to determine what they’re allergic to and how to eliminate it from their environment while treating coughing with an antihistamine. Meanwhile, more severe causes of coughing in cats should be treated differently.
Cats cough for many of the same reasons humans do, which is why it’s so important to have them diagnosed by a professional before treating them at home. Common reasons why cats cough includes the following:
- Asthma
- Allergies
- Respiratory infections
- Feline herpes virus
- Calicivirus
- Chlamydiosis
- Fungal infections
- Bordetella
- Influenza
- Heartworm
- Tumors
- Hairballs
The proper treatment for your cat will depend on any potential causes. Other than cough medicine for cats, your vet might create a treatment plan for any number of underlying illnesses.
