causes of cat asthma
A cat showing any of the milder symptoms above, even intermittent, should see a veterinarian soon. Coughing or wheezing occurs because the lungs are inflamed and are at risk of developing permanent scars, or a collapsed lung lobe. Any cough is a serious matter, especially if chronic, frequent or daily. A cat showing any of the crisis symptoms, blue lips or nose, frothy drooling, or obvious difficulty breathing requires immediate, emergency vet attention. Asthma can be very serious and can cause death from respiratory or heart failure.
