Fast Breathing

16:12:54

Question
Hi. My cat seems to be breathing quite quickly recently within the last day. She seems to be breathing heavily as we can see it in her body movements. She seems 99% ok within herself, although she seems to be sleeping quite a bit, but i think she does this anyway. She's eating fine but im just a bit concerned about her breathing rate. Any help or siggestions would be great. Thanks x

Answer
Charlotte,

I have no idea.  It just may be hot or it may have a heart problem, or anything in between!  I would take the kitty to the vet to get checked out and review these symptoms with your vet.  The odds are it will turn out to be nothing, but you will be better off checking just in case something serious may be going on.

Best regards... Norm.
