Hey guys I'm new to the forum (I'm huge in coral reef tanks and have been on plenty of those forums but decided it's time to join this forum for my furry buddy.) I have a 8-9 week old kitten named Finley. He is very active and eats about 3/4- a full can of wet food per day plus as much dry food as he wants.
My concern is that he breathes about 60-100 times per minute. It doesn't matter if he is sleeping or running, he will be breathing fast. Every once in a while he will stop breathing for a couple seconds (from what I can see) and then take a deep breath and then go back to the rapid shallow breathing.
I have already taken him to the vet and he has gotten his distemper shot, a dose of worm medicine or whatever it's called, and got tested for Fiv and leukemia which both came up negative.
Like I said, he's very active, eats, and loves to be around people. My vet said that his heart and breathing sound fine but that was 2 or 3 weeks ago. He has an appointment on 6/27 for his distemper booster so I will mention the breathing thing to her again when we go.
His right eye also has an orange blemish on it but I figured that is probably just because his eyes are changing to there permanent color but I also read that could be an eye infection.
Can anybody give me some input on whether I should be worried or not? This guy is so awesome and funny
