After Kinah got spayed, she started sneezing a little bit. I figured it was only a cold and it would go away quickly (Joshua was sneezing too when I first took him home and the vet said as long as he's eating, no worry).
Kinah was eating normally.
Now her sneezing is gone and she is still eating normally and more active than ever (she finally started showing some crazy kitten energy)
Except once in a while, she stops whatever she's doing and starts coughing for 10-15 seconds. She also started wheezing once in a while. Never while she's active or right after. Only when she's sleeping.
Just a few minutes ago I was at the computer and the cats were in the bedroom. I heard some high-pitched sounds and figured it was birds outside (there's a bird's nest right by the window). I went to the bedroom and the sound came from Kinah. She was wheezing so loud! I went to pet her, she was puring and with every breath she took in, it sounded like if she had swallowed a whistle.
She is going to the vet on Monday.
I'm hoping it's just a bacterial infection and it can be cleared up with antibiotics.
From what I've been reading online it could also be asthma.
I am deathly afraid of her having fluids in her lungs.
It breaks my heart to see her like that. She's only 5-6 months old. I've only had her for a couple of weeks but I've already grown so attached to her. Just the thought of possibly loosing her is unbearable. I've lost so many pets in the last few months.
Please send some good vibes to little Kinah.
