Hi, My little girl is 10 years old. She has always had strange breathing. I have had many conversations with my vet about it over the years and she does not seem to be very concerned about it. My kitty has never had watering eyes, nasal discharge or any other symptoms that she is ill in any way and her lungs always sound clear. She does however sneeze a number of times a day. She eats, drinks and uses the litter box just fine. Her teeth seem to be in good shape with no infections. Her breathing sounds very bad to me a lot of the time. Sneezing, wheezing, loud breathing and hard to get a good breath. Of course when I take her to the vet she shows none of these symptoms. I have asked the Vet if it may be allergies or asthma and she doesn't seem to think so. The last time I took her to the Vet was in May. She said the only thing that she would recommend is to have a procedure done that would involve putting my cat out and inserting a probe into her nose to see if there is a blockage of some sort. The problem is my husband and I are really scared of her being put under anesthesia at 10 years old. We lost our other cat about a year ago to a very sudden illness and he was soooo very special that we are still not over it. I guess I am just looking for any advice or information that may help me with her condition. Has anyone had this problem with their kitties. I know some breeds of cats can have issues with breathing but she is not a purebred.
Thanks
