Possible Emergency . . . PLEASE HELP!

[christa]

Just got home from being gone all day.

Josie's stomach is doing something wierd. Almost looks like it's spasming . . . kind of like she's breathing REALLY hard but you can't hear her breathing, so I don't think that's what it is. Her stomach is just going in and out really hard . . .

PLEASE HELP!

What should I do . . . I know it's not normal . . . ???

Is she walking around? Eating? What's in the litterbox? When you put your ear to her tummy do you hear anything?

Call the emergency vet. It could be seizures.. but if you can't hear her breathing she may have a blockage or something. When cats can't breathe they compensate by moving the stomach muscles to press on the lungs, to make them contract. Is she open mouth breathing? If she is.. AT ALL.. rush her to emerg. A cat that breathes through her mouth is in trouble.

I would get a Vet,as BJ,started to act oddly,and then a few minutes later,he was dead.Now,you know its asthma,but when a Cat,acts like that,get him,to a VET!!!
