Question
My seven month year old kitten has been breathing heavier than normal and sounds kind of raspy I noticed it more after she was spaded and declawed is this normal or should I get her checked out?  Please let me know what you think and if this could be serious or not   Thank you for your time and effort

Answer
Hi Sabrina!
If she has just had surgery in the past few days ,then it is probably from the tube they put down her throat when she had surgery. They do this to make sure she gets oxygen while she is asleep.  If it has been longer than a week, then you really should call your Vet just to be safe.

God Bless,
Becky

Expertise

I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
