My male cat is 11 years old. Within the last 24 hours I have started to notice heavy breathing. He seems to still be eating normally. Now the back story:
3 weeks ago he was not acting like himself. Not playful, seemed grumpy. When I went to change his litter I noticed what looked like brown urine. After researching I took him to the vet the next day. Presumed urinary tract infection. My cat does not do well with anyone other than myself and transporting him is a nightmare and giving meds is out of the question. So for 6 days I transported him back and forth daily to the vet for antibiotic injections. He had blood work done and everything was normal and he had no fever at any time. The day after his last antibiotic injection he started sneezing. He kept me up the entire night sneezing. I was taking a new rescue dog to the vet the next day so I asked about the sneezing. He said keep an eye on it if it gets worse with discharge etc bring him back. Well the sneezing cleared up and he had no other symptoms. Until yesterday I notice that he is ciao ally breathing heavy and he woke me up last night having trouble. He is so stressed out by just making a trip to the vet that it seems like every time I take him he comes home with another problem. I will be taking him to a different vet tomorrow but I'm asking for any possible ideas on what this could be? Again, I cannot give him meds, it takes at least 2 people and I live alone and he hates anyone but me and will hide and attack. I'm not sure what the vet will do. Taking him to the vet typically results in another illness on top of whatever I'm taking him in for. I am exhausted with worrying just want him to get and stay healthy.
