What s wrong with cats breathing rapidly?

1. Causes of heat stroke

In an overheating environment, cats will experience shortness of breath and their stomachs will rise and fall quickly, and most of them will stick their tongues to breathe. The cat needs to be cooled down to calm its breathing.

2. Asthma

Cats suffer from asthma, which may cause the cat to breathe rapidly, showing rapid ups and downs in their stomachs, or even coughing. Cats have asthma similar to humans. When particles with allergic reactions enter the cat's respiratory tract, it will cause asthma. In this case, corticosteroids and bronchodilators are usually used, and the dosage of drugs for pets should be used under the guidance of a professional doctor.

3. Respiratory diseases

Severe respiratory diseases in cats can cause dyspnea in cats, excessive respiratory secretions, and lung infections, which will lead to shortness of breath and asthma. Respiratory diseases are often infected with bacteria or viruses. With targeted antibiotic treatment, atomization treatment can help clear respiratory mucus to make cats breathe smoother.

4. Heart disease

Congenital heart disease, congestive heart failure, etc. may also cause symptoms of dyspnea and shortness of breath in cats. In pet hospitals, heart disease can be diagnosed with heart disease.

5. Abnormal pain

Cats have a high tolerance for pain. In the case of abnormal pain, the cat's respiratory system will also be stimulated. It breathes rapidly and has a very bad mental state and resists touch. The owner should be careful when touching the cat. In addition, the owner needs to take it to the pet hospital for examination in time to check whether the cat has trauma and whether there is any abdominal disease causing pain. Basic clinical examinations, B-ultrasound, and X-ray are common methods of examination, and the treatment plan is determined based on the confirmed results.
