A few months ago my cat, Josie was diagnosed w/ asthma. She had been coughing all the time. Yesterday, my other cat, Patches was also diagnosed Asthma. They aren't related. I asked how many other cats the vet had diagnosed w/ Asthma and he said ''none.''

My cat has breathing problems too, hes about a year old.... he has to breathe through his mouth. The only thing my vet told me was to take it easy with him while we play and let him catch his breath every so often and if I'm gonna do anything that will scare him such as vacuum, make sure I take him out of the room first...stuff like that...

Just like people who are asthmatic, there is something tiggering the problem.
Pollen, mold, cleaning supplies, paint, bug sprays, ...
Get down to the cats' level on the floor, check out where they sleep, where they play. Find out where they been when they start to cough. Start removing tiggers, one at a time, to find what is causing their problem. It most likely will be a lot of things. Once one is asthmatic things that did not bother it before may do so now.
Removeing the tiggers will lessen the coughing, but there is not a cure.

i'd pay interest to what the suggestion that Megs, Wdmurnau, and Upeskyymo provide. because I actually have a daughter who's extraordinarily allergic to cats and she or he receives asthmatic even as they are round. Whizzing is basically the starting up, issues can get quite undesirable if no longer treated instantly away, it truly is how my daughter became. my mom has a cat in her homestead and after I used to stay at the same time with her my daughter might want to be whizzing continually faster or later she became quite asthmatic and she or he became hospitalized even on a respiratory ventilator and after I took her to the allergist for an hypersensitive reaction attempt and we realized that she is extraordinarily ALLERGIC to cats. with a view to be on the secure part i does no longer play round with some thing like that. i'd only discover yet another homestead for the cat to stay in and save the youngster secure it truly isn't any giggling count number even as it includes bronchial asthma. Even no count number how a lot you sparkling your position or inspite of in case you save the cat in different rooms the dander continues to be there.

I am a vet tech and work strictly emergency....We diagnose many asthmatic cats.....Does someone smoke in your house? that is a very big problem!!! have you changed anything? perfume, carpet cleaner, detergent, carpet spray? Filters in your house? Those could all be contributing to what is going on. And them some.......
