What are the symptoms of fluid buildup in a cat’s chest (pleural effusion)?
Early signs of pleural effusion in cats usually include lethargy, an enlarged chest, and rapid breathing. If left untreated, the cat may develop breathing difficulties, cyanosis of the mucous membranes, and nasal discharge, which can be fatal in severe cases.
My cat got the second vaccine at noon, slept all afternoon, felt a bit better and drank some water, then kept sleeping and is still lethargic now.
Fever and rapid breathing after vaccination may be an allergic reaction; take the cat for desensitization treatment promptly to avoid anaphylactic shock. Vaccine allergy is common but serious cases need urgent vet care, since the allergy cannot resolve on its own and can be fatal.
What happens if a cat drinks mint water?
A cat drinking mint water reacts differently by individual and concentration. Some like the taste and become excited or curious; others dislike it and show discomfort, refusal, even vomiting or diarrhea. Mint oil can also irritate the respiratory system, causing rapid breathing or coughing. Stop use and consult a vet if abnormal.
What happens when a cat gets carsick?
A carsick cat shows vomiting, drooling, restlessness, rapid breathing, loss of bowel or bladder control, weakness, and poor spirits, and in extremes may faint. Carsickness affects the cat physically and mentally, so relieve it promptly. Avoid long rides, keep the car ventilated, and reduce odors and stress to ease symptoms.
My cat has many unexplained colored spots in its left eye; they were there as a kitten but seem to be growing – not on the surface but inside the eyeball, visible from the side
Brown spots inside a cat's eye are likely caused by uveitis. You can try eye drops with neomycin sulfate and diclofenac sodium. Since uveitis often reflects internal disease, watch for fever, abdominal distension, or rapid breathing. The spots could also be iris pigmentation that needs monitoring for tumors.
What Happens If a Cat Is Given a Dog Vaccine?
A cat given a dog vaccine may show side effects like swelling at the injection site, fever, loss of appetite; severe cases may have allergic reactions - shock, limb weakness, drooling, rapid breathing, facial swelling. Usually symptoms are mild and resolve quickly. If severe or persistent, take to the vet.
My rescued two-month-old kitten is on and off lethargic, barely eats, and has discharge, watery eyes, sneezing and open-mouth breathing
A kitten with sneezing, open-mouth breathing and poor appetite likely has a respiratory infection from pathogens like herpesvirus, calicivirus, mycoplasma, chlamydia or Bordetella, causing discharge, rapid breathing and cough. Stray kittens are weak and often virus-infected; don't self-treat when unwell—take it to a vet promptly.
My cat has been breathing fast lately, about 55 breaths; appetite and spirits are fine, but it panted through its mouth a few times
Fast breathing with normal appetite and spirits may follow exercise, or signal lung or heart disease. Panting after exertion is normal and settles with rest; but at rest or persistent, think pneumonia, pulmonary edema, or heart disease and see a vet.
Is my cat catching a cold?
From the photo the cat has a runny nose and tearing, suggesting an upper respiratory infection, bronchitis, or feline rhinotracheitis. Typical signs are sneezing, coughing, and rapid breathing; causes include chills, poor husbandry, or herpesvirus. Bacterial cases use amoxicillin-clavulanate plus warmth.
My dog is over 20 days postpartum; after a bath today she became weak, can’t stand, has discharge, and is breathing rapidly.
Based on your description, these signs appearing around day 20 postpartum—still during lactation—most likely indicate postpartum fever and eclampsia, a serious metabolic disease of hypocalcemia caused by massive calcium loss after delivery, with overexcited motor nerves causing muscle tetanus.
