Last week my 10 year old cat stopped eating for a day. I got him to start eating again but after a week, he still was eating very little. Last night, he seemed to be panting & having trouble breathing. I took him to the vet & they did a chest xray. It showed that his lungs were inflamed & you could see the "tamlines" & "doughnuts." But another thing she mentioned was that his heart was a bit large. She said this could be because my cat is a pretty big cat. His heartbeat was normal though. She said it could either be asthma or a heart problem. She gave him steroids & Lasix. It's only been a few hours since the visit but I'm still worried because he's still breathing quickly. Has anyone ever experienced anything similar?
