Does my cat have asthma?

2

Hello Elaya,

I am afraid no one at Yahoo Answers can answer your question because firstly they are not qualified to do so and secondly he needs to be examined by a vet and possibly have tests done.

The general symptoms of asthma in cats are:

Coughing and wheezing

Persistent cough

Squatting with shoulders hunched, neck extended and rapid breathing or gasping for breath

Gagging up foamy mucus

Open mouth breathing

Blue lips and gums

Laboured breath after exertion

Overall weakness and lethargy

Although your pet may not have asthma it is likely that he has another problem, possibly an Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (URTI).

He needs to be seen by a vet as soon as possible so his condition can be diagnosed and treated quickly.

Good luck and I hope he is fit and well again very son.

ADDENDUM

It is thought that less than 1% of cats develop asthma.

If that is so it is very likely to be something else that is causing your pets problem and a visit to the vet is necessary.

Ask a vet because your cat may need medication.

ffs take it to a vet!

if it bothers you take him to a vet
