My 8yr old cat is breathing oddly. We went to veterinarian and I have the documents to share. Would like more opinions

I'm glad you reached out. Breathing difficulties in cats can be concerning, so let's work through this together. An "odd" breathing pattern can manifest in several ways, such as rapid breathing, wheezing, or noisy sounds. There are various potential causes, like respiratory infections, asthma, heart problems, or even something as simple as a foreign object stuck in the airway. Let’s make sure your kitty is comfy while we figure out what’s happening.



At home, ensure she has a calm, stress-free environment. Keep her indoors where the air quality is controlled, and reduce her activity level to prevent further stress. Use a humidifier if you have one, as moist air can sometimes help with respiratory discomfort.



Watch for signs like persistent coughing, blue-tinged gums, open-mouth breathing, or a significant drop in energy levels. These could indicate a more severe condition that needs prompt attention.



Since you have documents from your recent vet visit, it would be really helpful to review those in a video consult. This way, we can give you a more tailored opinion and help your furry friend breathe easier. Consider booking a session with one of the vets on Dial A Vet to dive deeper into this issue.
