About <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"1-5% of all the adult cats (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vet.cornell.edu\/departments-centers-and-institutes\/cornell-feline-health-center\/health-information\/feline-health-topics\/feline-asthma-what-you-need-know\" target=\"_blank\">1-5% of all the adult cats<\/a> suffer from this respiratory disease. When an asthma attack strikes, your cat\u2019s airway swells and narrows so much that they have trouble breathing accompanied by coughing, wheezing, and excessive mucus production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The condition can sometimes be so severe that constricting the airway can be fatal. Some cats suffer from mild chronic conditions that can be controlled by using appropriate medication. If your cat has a coughing problem seek immediate veterinarian attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/person-touching-a-cat-1359292-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/person-touching-a-cat-1359292-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/person-touching-a-cat-1359292-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/person-touching-a-cat-1359292-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/person-touching-a-cat-1359292-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/person-touching-a-cat-1359292-113x75.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/person-touching-a-cat-1359292-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/person-touching-a-cat-1359292-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/person-touching-a-cat-1359292-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/person-touching-a-cat-1359292.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: Buenosia Carol via Pexels<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Causes of Asthma in Cats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The cause of <a href=\"https:\/\/vcahospitals.com\/know-your-pet\/inhalant-treatment-for-feline-asthma-and-bronchitis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"feline asthma (opens in a new tab)\">feline asthma<\/a> relates to multiple factors. But it has been thought to be developed as a result of allergic bronchitis. When an allergen enters the airway and makes its way to the lungs, your cat\u2019s body produces antibodies to fight that antigen. The next time this trigger allergen enters the airway, the cat\u2019s body recognizes this antigen and the antibodies will further trigger a series of events that produces specific cells to fight the allergen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to the allergen, these cells further produce excessive mucus and cause swelling, constricting the airway. So whenever your cat is exposed to these allergens she might go through an episode of asthma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some common allergens which can cause feline asthma in your cat: cat litter, cigarette smoke, pollen, peculiar scents of perfume, dust of cat litter, room freshener, scented cat litter, mold, carpet deodorizer, and hair spray. Moreover, the medical condition is also associated with parasites in cats, especially ones that reside in their respiratory system. Feline asthma is also associated with extreme stress, obesity, and other diseases like, pneumonia, heartworms, tumors, heart failures, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/white-and-grey-kitten-smelling-white-daisy-flower-1472999-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/white-and-grey-kitten-smelling-white-daisy-flower-1472999-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/white-and-grey-kitten-smelling-white-daisy-flower-1472999-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/white-and-grey-kitten-smelling-white-daisy-flower-1472999-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/white-and-grey-kitten-smelling-white-daisy-flower-1472999-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/white-and-grey-kitten-smelling-white-daisy-flower-1472999-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/white-and-grey-kitten-smelling-white-daisy-flower-1472999-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/white-and-grey-kitten-smelling-white-daisy-flower-1472999-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/white-and-grey-kitten-smelling-white-daisy-flower-1472999-1200x900-cropped.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/white-and-grey-kitten-smelling-white-daisy-flower-1472999-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/white-and-grey-kitten-smelling-white-daisy-flower-1472999.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: Alex .B via Pexels<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms of Feline Asthma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Common symptoms of Asthma include coughing,\nwheezing, open mouth breathing, gagging up mucus, persistent cough, blue gums\nand lips, labored breathing, and weakness after a play session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, these symptoms can also be associated with other medical conditions. Considering that, when you identify any of the symptoms mentioned in this section, you should take your kitty to the vet for a diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catlovesbest.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Catlovesbest<\/a> says, \u201cA cat with feline asthma would squat with shoulders hunched, problem breathing, neck extended, and would gasp for air. This typical posture looks similar when your cat is removing a hairball from their guts.\u201d So never mistake this sign for hairball removal. In case of any confusion, seek professional help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The diagnosis of this condition is not simple\nand can\u2019t be confirmed by just running blood or urine tests. Ruling out the\nsymptoms caused by other diseases is required for the accurate diagnosis of\nAsthma. Meaning, the common symptoms indicate the existence of other medical\nconditions and your cat might not even have asthma. Some of those diseases are\npneumonia, primary lung parasites, feline heartworm disease, and cancer. All in\nall, the vet might have to go through so many other tests to diagnose asthma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some common tests run by doctors are fecal\nexamination, urine tests, and complete blood count (CBC). These tests are only\nto check for any general health issues and may lead to diagnosing other\nunderlying issues. A vet might also do a white blood cell test because a\nspecific white blood cell, the eosinophil is associated with allergic\nindications and parasites which also indicates a tentative diagnosis of cat\nasthma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to that, vets also check for elevated blood proteins and the presence of lungworms in a cat\u2019s stool. Nevertheless, here are some additional tests a vet might do: tracheal lavage, thoracic radiography, heartworm test, and bronchoscopy with cytology and\/or culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brown-tabby-cat-lying-down-on-gray-bed-sheet-731553-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brown-tabby-cat-lying-down-on-gray-bed-sheet-731553-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brown-tabby-cat-lying-down-on-gray-bed-sheet-731553-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brown-tabby-cat-lying-down-on-gray-bed-sheet-731553-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brown-tabby-cat-lying-down-on-gray-bed-sheet-731553-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brown-tabby-cat-lying-down-on-gray-bed-sheet-731553-113x75.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brown-tabby-cat-lying-down-on-gray-bed-sheet-731553-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brown-tabby-cat-lying-down-on-gray-bed-sheet-731553-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brown-tabby-cat-lying-down-on-gray-bed-sheet-731553-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brown-tabby-cat-lying-down-on-gray-bed-sheet-731553.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: Mark Burnett via Pexels<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no particular medication for feline\nasthma as such. Vets generally prescribe medication that manages different\nsymptoms in the cat with feline asthma depending upon the severity. The\ncorticosteroids reduce inflammation in the lungs, whereas bronchodilators\ndilate the airways. But again, bronchodilators don\u2019t easy up symptoms when used\nalone. They are prescribed along with corticosteroids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Feline asthma is not common in cats but if\nyour cat is diagnosed with the condition, the intensity may vary. Moreover, if\nyour cat went through the episode of an asthma attack, you need to be very\ncareful and have to take preventive measures strictly and keep them away from\nallergens. The treatment is to maintain the symptoms and ease up the airway as\nthere is no absolute cure for\nthis medical condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Very few adult cats suffer from feline asthma, but do you know the symptoms to look out for?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3857,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,225],"tags":[174,175,173,176,177],"class_list":["post-3848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-posts","category-pet-health","tag-asthma","tag-causes","tag-feline","tag-symptoms","tag-treatment"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Feline Asthma: Causes, Symptoms, And Treatment &#8211;
