Approximately 2 years old. He is female (although I say "he"), but still has lost a lot of weight recently. (~50g, down from a lifetime average of 250g)
Yes he had an attack last week but I think that was due to dehydration- which allowed the mucous to thicken? He lost his appetite about a week or two ago and stopped eating and drinking his normal amount. He had that attack maybe 4 or 5 days ago. Since I have been feeding him baby food with water added, the attacks have happened less. It sometimes happens while I am feeding- some food will clog something while he swallows- and then today they started back up again.
Also been giving nebulizer treatments. Also been giving pred. I really don't know which of the three things helped most, if at all.
Today again he is breathing slower. And having more attacks.
I am hoping that slower breathing is good. What could it mean other than more lung space available?
Here is his breathing side by side from yesterday and Friday.
And here he is yesterday having an attack.
Today his breathing has slowed way down. Like under 100. The attacks are more frequent.
What treatments should I be looking at?
