my sweet cuddly kitty wheezes. it's not constant -- we took him to the vet a few months ago and since he wasn't wheezing then, she said it wasn't anything to worry about. i'm a bit concerned, though.
he's a longhair mix, 8 years old, neutered, and weighs about 12 pounds (not fat, just big). he adores being cradled like a baby and having his tummy petted; it seems like he wheezes more often in this position than in others but i can't really be sure (it can also be tough to tell if he's wheezing because he's a constant purrer).
he sneezes sometimes but not often, and fairly often a bit of his third eyelid shows (the vet said that was an indication that he's probably got allergies). last night, he was wheezing quite a bit more loudly than he has before, but this morning his breathing seemed fine.
should i go back to the vet, or am i likely to be told the same hting? and if it is allergies, can anything be done to make it better, or is it something better left alone?
