Feline Asma: When Cats Can't Breathe
Feline asthma causes coughing and wheezing in cats. While incurable, it's highly manageable with medication and environmental changes.
Feline asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the lower airways, similar to asthma in humans. The airways become hyperreactive to allergens, causing bronchoconstriction, mucus production, and inflammation. Asthma affects 1-5% of cats and is one of the most common causes of chronic coughing in cats.
