 MY Cat Is Struggling To Breath...can You Help?
A few days ago it sounded like she was trying to cough up a hair ball but nothing came..the day after it was like she had a sore throat and lost her voice as when she tried to meow nothing came out but a tony croak. Today she is breathing shallow and is making the kind of noise humans make when they snort through their nose. She doesn't want to move...I'm taking her to the vets first thing but I am worried about her is it just a stuck hairball?

 I agree.. Sounds like she has something caught, or esophageal swelling... But I'm not sure it's a hairball.  You said she "doesn't want to move"... If she's sitting with her chin point pointed up, than she's having serious (life threatening) trouble breathing, and you  need to get her to an emergency vet (preferably hospital) tonight... It may not be able to wait until tomorrow.

 Glad to hear she's on her way to the vet, cause I doubt it is just a stuck hairball.  Those she would have puked them up and you'd find a gross gunk of hair somewhere.  Sounds more serious than a hairball.  You didn't mention her age. Hope the vet trip heals it.
