Hi.
I have post this question before. I have an orange kitten 6-7 month old. He has always been breathing weirdly (different from his sister which is a calico)
he breath very guttural and sometimes wheezing. when they play around he pants more.
I took him to the doctor for neuter surgery and before the surgery the doctor did a full chest X-ray because his breathing was weird to them as well.
they said there was nothing in the chest and they went ahead with the surgery. I don't trust the vet somehow. NOW, I don't have the chest xray and the vet told me I have to take him to an internal specialist. I am just worried. he has been like this since the day I got him. no problems at all.
is it his lungs? his heart ? or Asthma ? (but then I think if it was it would show in the blood test and chest X-ray)
what should I do?

kitten breathing abdominally! please help

It's possible your vet is sending you to a specialist because he's not sure based on the tests already run. It can happen. He probably needs further testing and not all general vets have the facilities or equipment to go further. Just like when you go to your regular doctor.
Since he came out of his neuter with the anesthesia ok, hopefully it isn't too serious.
