Hello everyone.
I have a 5 years old male cat. Earlier this year he started making some weird respiratory noises which we noticed that are related to the movement of the neck. For example: when he looks up, when he looks down, when he lands from a jump, when he’s playing and becomes angry, one time he put his head on my arm and the neck was slightly up and extended. It started with only happening at play time but now it’s more frequent and in different situations. It seems on the exhale but it’s definitely not a cough and it is not bothered by it, meaning it doesn’t stop him from doing what he does, nor seems in pain. He doesn’t do it when it stays still, when he’s laying down, when he’s sleeping and not even in the same situations. There are times when he looks up and does nothing. It’s not like a cough attack, it’s always related to movement of the neck. No other breathing sounds, he doesn’t breath with his mouth open, he doesn’t snore, doesn’t sneeze, it’s so weird. He's acting normal, eating, playing and it’s not overweight. If us humans were to reproduce the sound, it might be as “ch as is chaos”.
We are feeding some feral cats, one of them with a visible respiratory infection, it had mucus, teary eyes and was sneezing and we both have heard one day the same sound our indoor cat is doing now. We washed our hands when we got home everytime, but even if we got him something on clothes, he never showed those symptoms and also it’s been going on for months now. We see no logic, the doctors said it wasn’t related, but we heard it… Maybe we’re being paranoid or it’s a coincidence.
We took him to the vet, did blood test, at a check up everything fine, heart ok, lungs ok, teeth ok, no fever, lymph nodes ok. He was given a cough syrup and an immunity one and another time it was prescribed Onsior for inflamation, but no results. We’ll be doing Xrays soon but does anyone know what this might be?
Thanks
