I've been meaning to ask this, but it didn't seem like a potential problem initially. But now that Thomas and Cooper are going to be neutered soon, it occurred to me that I should check into this more.
I noticed a long time ago that Thomas breathes really loud.......especially when he's sleepy.....and he snores when he sleeps. His snores sound like little grunts. Being a nurse, I know that when children grunt when they breathe, it can mean a potential breathing problem. So, I wonder if any of you have heard of this in cats.....and if anesthesia could be dangerous to him?
It kind of worries me about him having surgery if he does have a breathing problem. I forgot to ask my vet about it last time we went in.
Also.....Cooper doesn't breathe like this. His breathing is just normal and quiet.
What do you think?
