Our 5 year old cat Hayley, has Asthma, which hasn't been diagnosed by a vet yet because she freaks out in cars or leaving the apartment at all. Her brother died from an asthma atack when we took him to the vet for his yearly shots. The vet didn't know what was wrong with him so he died. When I got home I did a google search on his symptoms and knew within about 15 seconds why he died. I didn't understand why the vet didn't catch this? Anywho, I don't want to take Hayley out of the apartment at all because it's a huge health risk. We are moving 5 hours away next year and I don't know how we are going to move her. I'm very scared to sedate her, and I don't want to take her to the vet. Please help.

I found the text in this book spot on, but the illustrations aren't helpful at all. Good over all book

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

This scoop was a freebie with some clumping litter I bought last year, and I like it so much that I've bought a second one. It's perfect for fine clumping litter, which it sifts very thoroughly....

And your vet wouldn't catch any of these, or even asthma, unless you point them in that direction. You have to tell the vet your cats day to day symptoms and behavior because unless very ill, they can miss this stuff. To test for them you need to ask for the tests to be done and have x-rays (and more) taken.
First step here is for you to talk to your vet ASAP.

I agree with this advice. I have a cat who has been diagnosed with asthma. According to my vet, coughing of any kind is bad for cats, and it needs to be controlled (or ideally, prevented) with an appropriate treatment.
Good luck to you and your girl.
