Hi, My 3 year old cat was diagnosed with possible ear infection but is not yet ruled out by the vet since they sent us home for observation after I brought Casper to the vet for being disoriented a night before, they said it cannot be the earmites since earmites cannot cause loss in appetite, it cannot be also neuro they said since the disorientation only occur once they gave us vitamin & prednisolone to help with his appetite since he’s not eating & force fed for 4 days, he also had eardrops (due to black discharge from his ears and now gone) first day of his medication I saw some improvements, he’s eating little by little, walking properly without being out of balanced, but - his breathing is kinda off, i noticed that he’s putting too much effort breathing, idk if it’s a side effect or normal, he’s easily tired aswell after doing a little activity such as eating a spoonful of recovery diet or cleaning himself, he also make some noise when he’s sleeping like something is blocking the passage, now I don’t have enough money yet to bring him back to vet considering all the exams I had with him & my other cats. Do u guys think I should worry & rush to vet or this is some kind of good-side effect from the meds his taking? since there is indeed improvements alongside of it. I counted his breathing while his sleeping its about 60-70 per minute. I’m no pro but I guess that’s a little too fast? I can also see sides, chest and stomach moving out rapidly when breathing when he’s stress or done some movements.
thank you in advance for the help & advise!
