Getting Lazy Cats to Exercise?

[otto]

So far the rapid respiration is still going on.  She hasn't had any other "asthma signs" - no coughing, wheezing, or any of that.  Just the rapid breathing.

If it's still going on after today, I think I might ask for a referral to a cardiologist.  I would really want to either find out if this is heart disease, or rule it out.

 

I think that is a very wise thing to do, and exactly what I would do. Keep us posted!

When I had only one cat and asked how to shed the weight off him. My advisor said another cat that was on his level that he could play with, Finding someone who got along, that is the hard part.

Wise...my dee who has been so ill this year, has had rapid breathing several times - one was that he had developed pneumonia, the second was due to congestive heart failure and fluid that had begun to fill up in his chest (relieved with a tap, and since, meds have prevented this from reoccuring).
