Hi all,
My cat is 7 years old and a bit overweight--he's about 18 pounds. He's always been pretty healthy but I'm starting to suspect feline asthma. I am going to be calling the vet Monday but we've had a pretty rough couple of days and my anxiety is getting the best of me. I'm trying to educate myself as well as possible before we go in and see the doc.
So, question is: if a cat has asthma, how often CAN the attacks (mild or severe) occur? No matter how much I read on it, I can't find the frequency. Until recently what I now suspect may have been mild attacks in my cat were only once a week or twice a month (always assumed it was hairballs)...but since in the past three days it's happened 1-2 times a day. Any insight??
Thanks in advance!
Edited to add: in case it matters, he is a 100% indoor cat. Nothing big has changed in the house lately, that I can think of.
