My cat is breathing hard with a raspy sound. Should I see a vet?

Yes, I would be concerned. It sounds like Rosey could have a respiratory infection. I'd take her into a vet as soon as possible to get checked out, as I'm concerned about her breathing heavily. Rush her into an ER vet if she starts open mouth breathing. If she's congested, you can also try using a humidifier or bringing her into the bathroom with the door closed while you take a hot shower - the steam and humidity help to break up congestion and temporarily relieve symptoms associated with respiratory infections. Best of luck.

It could be that Serenity has a respiratory infection, but what really concerns me is that she is having a hard time breathing. That could easily lead to respiratory distress and potentially death. Because of this, I think she needs to see a vet now to be safe. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.

Poor Ora! She needs to be examined by a vet as soon as possible to determine the cause and treat. She could have an infection, asthma, heart disease, etc. and your vet can take an x-ray, if needed, to help diagnose and then determine the best treatment plan. IF she is having trouble breathing then you should take her to an emergency clinic tonight so treatment can be started. Hope she feels better soon!

It sounds like Ramesses could have a respiratory infection. I would have him seen by a vet first thing in the morning. If he does have a respiratory infection, the vet can prescribe medication to help with his symptoms. Best of luck.

Yes, I would have Sira seen by a vet for these symptoms. She could be suffering from a respiratory infection, which the vet can diagnose and treat. I can give you something to try at home as well that may help with her symptoms. If she's congested, you can also try using a humidifier or bringing her into the bathroom with the door closed while you take a hot shower - the steam and humidity help to break up congestion and temporarily relieve symptoms associated with respiratory infections.

Oh no, poor Saimee! Unfortunately there is nothing you can do at home when a cat is having trouble breathing. That is a medical emergency and requires immediate veterinary treatment. She has to see a vet now, and I would find the closest vet to you to take her into right away.

Poor Phoebe. Do not give her any olive oil, that won't help. What I am concerned about is that she may have difficulties breathing. This can be very serious and breathing difficulties can be fatal. Without seeing her in person, I can't say if she will be ok or not. I'd have her seen by an ER vet now to be safe. I hope this helps!
