My cat coughing and has wheezing sound sometimes does that mean she's having asthma attack? I have dewormed her today, because i haven't do it yet, can worms cause those symptoms?

A one month old really shouldn't be having asthma. Can you get her to the vet? What did you use to deworm?

I have taken her to the vet and she said that we need to de-worm her,  and i've used tablet. And i don't see any problems with eating and drinking, and activity.

Yes, worms may cause such symptoms, it is apparent the kitten did needed deworming.   Exactly what tablet for deworming did you use?

Otherwise, kittens arent known for asthma.

The tablet called cestal, and she took a dump couple of minutes ago and i have not seen any dead worms or anything, the vet said there is some kind of sound wheezing sound, but it's very little.

Btw, i'm not a native english speaker, sorry for poor grammar.

Its OK, we are an international forum.

I myself have english as my third language, and it often shows, but people seems patient with me.

I suppose its this?

I dont know the quality of the company as such - normally I prefer products made by big wellknown human medical or veterinarian medical companies.  Their quality control is the best...

The worming is good to do, but it sounds like your kitten may need antibiotics for the coughing and wheezing.

Does she have a mom, or do you feed with a bottle?

There is a green version of it, for cats. And i don't think if my pet shop have any other medical companie to offer, since i'm living in small city.

She lived with a mom for 1month outdoor then we took her, but i don't do feed her with a bottle, she drinks milk from a small bowl.

So you did a good thing.  also, its easier to foster them as young, compared when they are perhaps 10 weeks...

Good she can eat self.  What milk are you giving her?  We usually do not recommend cow milk - but it depends in part on what country you are in, and what sort of cow milk...

Goats milk is always OK.

so its a kitten mothermilk replacement, in powder?  Do you remember what brand?

Why Im asking, there are also  lactose free "kitten milk" which are essentially thought as a treat, not real food.  Whiskas is renown for making such a product - nothing wrong with this especial product, but only as long you know what it is.

We have noticed it happens people do take it as actual milk for kittens...  This is one of the reasons we always ask exact what sort its of milk...

She may be ready to begin eating wet cat food soon. Have you tried yet?

The video will not play. Can you get antibiotics for your kitten?

Does your kitten eat wet food?

We will give her antibiotics if coughing and wheezing symptoms will remain, for now vet said that we need a time till dewormer tablet gonna work and kill worms if there is some. And yes she eats wet food also we tried dry food and she liked it too.
