    Our 14 year old cat started to gag for no apparent reason. Started off kinda slow, gagging every now and again. We treated him for hairballs thinking that was the problem. It progressively got worse, and his breath was unbearably awful. Upon taking him to the vet, it turns out he had 8 infected rotten teeth that were wreaking havoc in his mouth and throat. We payed to get the rotten teeth removed and a teeth cleaning. Might be the same problem especially considering the dog's age. Either way a vet visit is in order!

    Take him to a vet straight away ! The poor bugger could have something really wrong with him or be in alot of pain !
