Cat breathing fast, bleeding mouth after fight. Is it a vet emergency?

Yes, with the breathing changes and vocalisations you describe i recommend an urgent emergency visit in order to assess and treat his injuries. Fight injuries or road traffic accidents are common causes of trauma in cats and internal injuries are quite possible. Keep him warm and rested until you can have him seen

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Missy. I recommend that you seek emergency veterinary care this evening. Open mouth breathing is a sign of respiratory distress in a cat. The respiratory infection could have spread to her lungs resulting in pneumonia or she could have another problem. Heart disease and fluid in the chest can also cause this breathing pattern. I hope this information helps. Good luck.

This is a medical emergency - he is also very pale which indicates he is not getting sufficient oxygen around his system. This can be due to anemia, heart/lung disease or severe infection and shock. Please have him fully assessed by a vet urgently as this is immediately life threatening

I think you may have given a toxic medication to your cat. Many antiinflamatories are toxic to cats and can cause them to bleed like this and become anemic (low blood count). This is a life-threatening emergency and Emi needs to go to the vet immediately to ensure she makes it. Make sure you bring the pain medication and anything else you may have given her to the vet with you, so they can treat her appropriately. I hope Emi can get to the vet soon and she recovers well.

No, I recommend to have Harlem examined immediately. This could be an emergency situation. When pets suddenly develop a change in their breathing pattern, they need to be examined immediately. This is especially true for cats who can hide signs of heart disease and not have any murmurs or other clues on physical examine. Other causes include infection, asthma or fluid in the lungs. Have him examined right away. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.

This is an emergency situation, your local emergency clinic/veterinarian should be contacted and your cat should be seen as soon as possible. Respiratory versus heart problems are likely to be the cause. Thoracic radiograph may be needed.

OH my. I am not sure where she is bleeding from, but a coagulation disorder or bleeding disorder is likely the cause of her illness. A toxin ingestion or immune mediated condition is typically the cause for bleeding disorders in pets. I would highly recommend taking Miaw in to your local vet right away for treatment! She is in need of medical attention right away to hopefully stabilize her condition quickly. A blood test will likely be recommended to gather more clues as to the underlying cause for her bleeding problem and inappetence. I hope that your fur baby Miaw is able to make a full and speedy recovery. Best wishes and take care.
