Judeez, I don’t think you’re a worry wart at all either.  The one thing I regret about trying to figure out my cat’s breathing issue is not pushing harder during the second exam when I felt it was getting worse.  I also can’t agree more with getting video of your cat having trouble breathing. ...

I haven't yet but did start looking at them.  I have some Zyrtec on hand (10 mg) but found different info on the recommended dose.  I also couldn't find out if there was anything you couldn't mix with them.

Thanks, his head shaking only happens when he starts having trouble with his breathing.  Sometimes I notice the head shaking before the raspy sound starts, but they’re always connected.  The head shaking is also new –while the raspy breathing has very slowly progressed over the past 6 months...

Thanks, I can’t think of any specific questions related to her experience yet but I may have more when we get the results of his scan.  I feel really terrible instigating this but here is clip showing his purring leading to an episode and me taking him outside to end it:  I’m only guessing but...

Thank you, I read through the thread.  Oddly enough I was adding a little turmeric to his food starting about a month ago (my mom feeds her dogs raw and uses it as a supplement and she gave me a bottle).  I had no idea I could use it to help with inflammation.  I'll try figuring out the...

Thank you, I'll go through it and see if anything can help with our guy.  He’s been on the asthma meds for about 3 days but I don’t know how long they take to start kicking in if that’s the cause.  Here’s a clip of his breathing:    It seems to start when he purrs and escalates within a few...

Thanks, I'll start looking into some of those.  It sounds like most recommendations are OTC too.  

Here are his xrays:

I am at a loss on what is wrong with our cat.  Over the past six months he has increasingly had respiratory problems when he purrs (it has never been seen when he isn't purring).  It began as a mild sound and when the vet checked it out she suggested allergies.  Otherwise he is healthy and...

I’ve been feeding our cat a raw diet for about a year without any issues until now.  Usually I give him chicken necks for the bone portion of his diet.  While making his food this time around I couldn’t seem to find any chicken necks.  I tried a couple butchers but the best I could find were...

He tends to sleep in the middle of the floor out in the open.  I’ve noticed him sleeping on a particular windowsill a few times.  I haven’t gotten him a bed yet but I can see if he’s open to using one.  Thanks for the tip; I’ll try it out. He does have a lot of energy to burn.  Just when I...
