Guide to Asthma In Cats

In case you didn’t know, even your cat can have asthma.

When a friend of mine first heard this, she laughed and fell off her chair… wondering why cats should have asthma.

When I asked her why she laughed so hard, she said it sounded so funny to hear- especially thinking of how, in her words, they would cough and gasp for breath the way humans who have asthma do.

Well, I don’t know about you, but I didn’t enjoy her laughter at all. For me, it is not funny at all and these poor cats with asthma equally go through a very difficult time with asthma, as much as humans do.

Now… before you agree with me or disagree, spare some time to really have a closer look at how asthma in cats is.

Asthma in cats occur when cats develop certain disorders in their respiratory systems. This type of respiratory disorders in these cats is caused by asthma – similar to that of humans.

So, just as humans have a problem with their breathing, cats also experience constriction of the air passages in their cat lungs.

Just like humans who experience asthma attacks, cats suffering from asthma suffer several moments of critical difficulty in breathing and, wait for it, several periods of severe coughing.

When this occurs on a consistent basis you are sure you have a cat with asthma. To be more certain, watch out for the following 2 main symptoms-

- When your cat experiences difficulty in breathing.
- When your cat experiences coughing.

What next to do? Contact your veterinarian at once… before your cat dies of this terrible breath-constricting disease!
