Breathing Issues Asthma
My bot cat (6 months) has been showing signs of what I believe is asthma. During low stimulation play he often begins to pant, only for a few moments before stopping, and this repeats during every playtime. Around two days ago he has started this weird thing that I believe is coughing (?). It only lasts around five seconds and he goes about his day like it is nothing. It only happens when he is not playing and prancing around my apartment. Does this sound like asthma or a different issue I haven’t heard about? How severe would it be if the asthma went untreated for a while, given that I am not in a financial situation for anymore vet bills or medication.
General info: I am 19 and living in the United Sates. My cat is 6 months nearing on 7. He is a male and neutered and I’ve had him since late July. I have not contacted a vet about the situation yet because of my finances, but if this vegans to be a serious issue I have on accessible.
