What should cats do with short breath and abdominal breathing?
Infectious peritonitis caused by feline coronavirus may also lead to shortness of breath and abdominal breathing in cats. The initial symptoms are loss of appetite, listlessness, emaciation and fever, and the later symptoms are dyspnea, asthma, vomiting or cloudy eyes, convulsions, jaundice and anemia. The mortality rate of cat transmission through abdomen is extremely high, so it is recommended to seek medical advice as soon as possible.
If the cat has shortness of breath and abdominal breathing after strenuous exercise or extreme excitement, it may be just a normal phenomenon, and the cat will recover after a few minutes' rest. However, if the cat does not recover, or the situation worsens, it may be because of lack of oxygen, and the cat with lack of oxygen should avoid strenuous exercise again.
