I've spent the last couple hours reading about cat colds and asthma, and I'm still uncertain.
I just got my kitty today. When I pick him up I can hear him wheezing... no coughing/sneezing/mucous/drippy nose.....just really raspy breath.
He's 4mos old, has not eaten (his previous owner did not feed him this morning so that he didn't throw up on the car ride), I haven't seen him drink and he has not gone to the bathroom.
Aside from the wheezing, he seems to be ok healthwise, maybe underweight though...but eyes look good, a quick glance at his ears looked fine.
I do have a vet appt. scheduled for Thurs.
All I'm really asking is should I try to get him in tomorrow, or is Thurs. ok?
Is it possible he's wheezing because he is scared?
Thanks, Chris
