How To Alleviate Rapid Breathing In Cats

Remember To Stay Calm

Above all else, it extremely important to stay calm. If you panic, you will not be able to help your poor cat in their time of need. You also may add to your cat’s stress because they are scared and need you to be strong for them. As long as you get your cat to the vet as soon as possible, the odds that they will be okay will increase exponentially. It is very important for them to be seen and evaluated to determine the cause of the labored breathing and respiratory issues. Once the situation is triaged, diagnostic tests can be conducted and they can begin proper treatment.

All this starts, however, with staying calm and in control. That way you can make the most responsible decisions regarding your feline friend's welfare and you can assist them in a moment of crisis. After all, you need to be your kitty's pet parent and rock. They need you most when they are struggling, so remember to stay calm.
