Just a wee update - the vet said he was very healthy and growing well. His whole abdominal area and throat was examined and listened to, and the vet concluded this was just his rate of breathing so good news!

Yes - once whilst deeply sleeping, once whilst resting and once whilst active although I discarded the active one as in consistent! Deep sleep was 37bpm, resting was 40bpm. I also took a couple of videos for the vet.

Thanks for replying! No, no coughing noises only the occasional sneeze! I think I'm probably being an overly paranoid kitten mum but the vet should be able to give him a good check over this afternoon!

Thanks for your reply - it's put my mind at ease! He really is the picture of health which is why I never noticed the elevated rate before. I'll have him checked over Monday anyway so hopefully all will be ok!

Hi all, I'm concerned about my little 14 week old kittens breathing. He's a bengal cross and I've noticed his breathing is constantly above average. He's the picture of health - thriving, great weight, appetite and normal toilet habits. It was only recently I found out how often they should...

Hi again everyone :) My 9 week old kitten Alba was at the vet this morning having the first assessment/vaccines. We got a thumbs up health wise! Found out she is actually a he! Luckily we chose a non gender specific name but now I'll have to change all the wee nicknames I've been using...

Thank you :D I eased up with food yesterday as her stools were getting looser. I fed her half a sachet in the morning then witheld food for 10 hours before giving her half a sachet at about 6pm, then offering smaller portions more regularly. It really seems to have settled her stomach and...

Thanks for replying! I spoke to my vet who said as long as she's active and seems ok in herself, then we can hold off until Monday for her appointment. I did the test and she's hydrated. I'm not sure if the Hills Science is agreeing with her, but as it's only been two days, am concerned about...

Hello everyone! I'm brand new to these forums and a new kitten mum too. I collected her last night. She's a nine week old bengal cross. Ive pre-registered her at a vet and have an appointment for Monday. However, I've noticed she has mild diaharreah. She did her first stool this morning and...
