Coughing and vomiting are not common signs in allergies in cats so Bendaryl is unlikely to help. Cats usually cough and vomit as a result of hairball in the stomach, foreign body (grass blade) in the throat, gastritis, kidney or liver disease or even asthma. If your cat has been coughing and vomiting for longer than 24-48hrs, you should take her to your local vets for a check-up. Your vet may advise a blood test or chest x-ray to find out what is going on.
