Thread: Weird breathing

Martha does the silent purr thing, well almost silent apart from her tummy vibrating slightly. And the eyes open thing when she curls up with her head upside-down!

It sounds like she is ok, it's when they are coughing and laying totally flat to ease breathing that it is a problem. I know what you mean about being paranoid though, our last cat had breathing issues, but this was also with coughing causing sickness, it was mis-diagnosed as athsma! In actual fact she was nearly 18 and we found out had several issues that got to her because of old age, one being fatal :( It does make you paranoid though.

I would try not to worry, our little Martha has been through the mill and we got to the stage that we were panicking at every little oddity. I would monitor her and if she is happy and acting normal then try not to worry, you will soon know if she gets worse and then get her checked out.
