Ferris has a vet appointment on Friday this week, but I was just wondering, for those of you who have asthmatic cats, how did the symptoms first appear?
I'm asking because on two occasions, both when Ferris was at complete rest, he has made little wheezing noises, almost like a "woo" sound, but VERY quiet, and only on the exhale. His shoulders do seem to move when he breathes, whereas on Ginger, it's just her belly that moves.
I've listened and listened to him, but it seems to have been just those two times so far. His eyes are clear, no discharge, his nose is clear as well, and he has never coughed to my knowledge.
Do you think he might have the very beginnings of a breathing issue? I'm going to run this by the vet, but just thought I'd see what experiences those of you with asthmatic cats may have had at the onset of the issues.
