  • Well now I know what my abyssinian had. He did the same thing for years and no one could tell us why.

  • Oh, I am so sorry to hear that your kitty died. I can tell you that Aby asthma not only looks like the video, but can also just be very labored breathing. I had Pennalynn (my Aby) in the vet's office just yesterday undergoing oxygen, steroid, and bronchiodialtor treatment. Apparently asthma is common in Abyssinians.

  • Awwww I feel bad for her. :( I hope she is much better now and you have it under control! :)

  • That's funny, because I was never told that asthma is common in Aby's, but I just took mine to the vet today (Dec 2, 2010) because of wheezing, and the vet said it was probably asthma. Until we can find a vet to do a trach scrape or whatever he called it, she is on oral liquid steroids for two weeks until mid Dec. I have tried to get her attacks on camera, but mine doesn't catch the sound very well...

  • it sounds like shes puking

  • my cat, about 2 years old now, does EXACTLY the same thing..he was responding to steroid shots but got one about a week ago and is not much better..taking him back tomorrow, may have to go on the inhaler..but he's worth it :)

  • There isn't anything you can do when a cat is having an asthma attack. Become more educated about a topic before putting someone down

  • My Abby does this too, did your vet put her on a puffer or any meds for it??

  • my mother'cat had asthma but the medication that was given to her caused renal failure and she died at the age of 14.

  • mine does that as well once in a while. I found out that dust in the air inside the home will cause it. I try to keep the cat fur and dust to a minimum. my mother's cat had asthma but the medication that was given to her caused renal failure and she died at the age of 14.

  • i loved my Abby Lola, she died two days ago of a stroke, she was only 9 years old, but she had this, the vet just passed it off, but i think it added to her stress level. its not a hairball
