  • In regards to the comment posted by smcamden above i may be able to comment. Today my 3 year old domestic was diagnosed with feline asthma from my vet who I trust very well. 3 weeks ago my kitty started to have for lack of a better description "gag reflex attacks" I thought this was somewhat normal as it looked like she was trying to cough up a hairball. This happened about 3 or 4 times a day but nothing ever came up. She has also lost 3 lbs since her last visit to the vet 1 year ago.

  • @Jrcouzen that amount of weight loss is concerning. Did they rule out other possible causes, such as fungal infection?

  • Thank you for the post. My male maine coon, Silverado, has lost a lot of weight and has labored breathing. It seems worse on the exhale. He has been tested for everything and nothing has been figured out yet. A short time ago I heard wheezing with his exhale and looked that up, finding asthma. He never coughs. Have you seen coughing with your cat? Any weight loss?

  • This is usually what Zack does when he's having asthma. He's always been a lean cat and has had asthma most of his life, so I wouldn't say he lost weight. Once other causes were ruled out such as feline heartworm or other parasites, and after a bronchio-alveolar lavage, he was diagnosed.
