My cat has been recently doing this huffing sound and swallowing hard after. I work in a Veterinary Clinic and I’ve never seen this before, so I’ve looked a ton of stuff up to see if it’s coughing, wheezing, or something else.
I am pretty sure it’s wheezing. It isn’t triggered by anything and it just sounds like she’s gagging and trying to spit out a hairball. It goes on for about 1 minute, but sometimes lasts for 2 1/2 minutes. We recently went to the vet and her bloodwork is COMPLETELY normal. We checked her thyroid and everything is good. The reason we checked her thyroid was because she wasn’t eating. She is now eating and drinking like normal, and seems very happy. She was on Mirataz for a bit, but it passed the 14 days so she’s off of it. She didn’t have any issues with it, but through the whole thing she has been doing this wheezing noise and she was doing it before too.
She’s been doing this for a while and seems she has some heavy breathing sometimes too.
Any help?
I wish I could upload videos but if you click this link and click the video with the siamese cat, it’s exactly like that Cat Wheezing: What Is It, Why Does It Happen and Should You See a Vet?
