Megacolon happens to cats a lot.

I spent ten days on IV fluids only back in May, partially blocked small bowel. It were not so much fun. Thoughts and meows going out to your cat.

It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

It can lead to what is called, "secondary drowning."

Poor baby! Sad

I've never had this happen to any of my cats, so my only advice is to take him/her to another vet to ask about the coughing and just be sure everything is ok.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

It wasn't megacolon. It wasn't that severe. It would have been soon though.

I am calling another vet today, and we are going to send the bill to the first vet. I'm calling them today to tell them or cat has not stopped coughing since they forced oil into his lungs.

Not a joke. Medical practice here often includes homeopathy. Fucking Germany.
