Doctor, my cat is having a hard time breathing. It's been four days. Today when I picked her up, it seemed to cause her discomfort. When she went down on the floor, her breathing was labored and seemed to be breathing from her mouth. She's 12 1/2 years old. She does sleep a lot.

@PrincessAphroditePAV My 4-mth-old kitten has the same problem too. I'm not sure if it's from the new food I have been feeding her for a week.

I'm in a smoker family, and my cat coughs as well. Im sure its from the second hand smoke. We try to keep it out of her way at all times. I don't want her to suffer our mistakes

hi .. I just noticed my cats breathing and it seems very heavy, this just started about 2 days ago and im not sure what to do ??? im very worried about him but he seems to be eating and drinking. As im watching your video i have to ask .. do they have to be born with asthma or can it occur at anytime ?? i need some anwers please

I love you thankyou tons I just started using a room spray for the holidays and my cats been doing this for days I asked the vet he said as long as hes eating hes fine but hes lazy now and keeps doing this so i think he has asthma

[CupcakeLila]

@mluvese My vet said same thing but she was wrong!! His appetite stayed fine but his breathing got worse and worse. Now he is in the hospital on oxygen. I am so sad.

Dr, thanks for posting this video, iam going to get my cat sorted out at the vet tommorrow as I would never have gussed asthma.

[StrwbrryFldsFurever]

Dr. Talbott. Please include info about inhaled meds - Flovent & the use of the Aerokat - the new standard for treating feline asthma. Flovent is not a systemic steroid like the depo-medrol injection & can be used for the life of the cat without risk of diabetes and other immune-compromising side effects. My cat has been on the inhaled meds for 4 years & his severe asthma is completely controlled. Consider joining us at Feline Asthma Relief on Yahoo groups. We'd love to have you there.

Dr. Talbott,

Thank you very much for posting this. I'm taking my cat to the vet today because he has been coughing without hairball production. I really don't like using Depo Medrol (scary side effects) , so I hope that my cat isn't asthmatic

Can someone help me? Last night i could not go back to sleep because i woke up and coulden't breath that well ( i still cant now) im only 12 years old, and when i take a deep breath i cough. Should i see a doctor?

@ShAdOw116789 If you're having problems breathing, you should tell a parent/guardian and see your health care provider.

[mluvese]

@ShAdOw116789 you might have seasonal allergies I get like that occasionally try a allergy pill but make sure you are not allergic to any medication because ill allergic to Allegra so best to go to a doctor also while i was younger they put me on the purple disk powder inhaler its sort of like a lung steroid it helped me tons felt like the fog lifted from my brain prob because I needed my oxygen

[lovelypiglet92994]
