Veterinarians have reported the conditions in which a cat begins to wheeze and cough.

Every pet owner should know this.

A cat can cough for various reasons, and while some may be harmless, others can indicate serious illnesses in your pet. Therefore, every owner should be aware of the ailments that can accompany this symptom.

Like any living creature, a cat can experience difficulty breathing and start coughing to clear its airways. Usually, this happens infrequently. However, if your pet starts coughing and wheezing regularly, it should not be ignored.

First and foremost, the cat should be checked for the presence of worms, and the necessary treatment should be administered. Foreign objects lodged in the respiratory tract can also cause wheezing and coughing. In such cases, it is important to seek veterinary attention.

Additionally, animals may suffer from bronchial asthma or catch a cold. However, the most dangerous conditions associated with this symptom are cardiovascular diseases.

Therefore, if your pet frequently coughs, it should be taken to a veterinarian as soon as possible, who will prescribe appropriate treatment for the cat.
