Urgent - please help - my cat george is really struggling with breathing

[GPandCP]

Hello everyone

I would be most grateful if someone could help me. My 13 year old cat George is really struggling with his breathing. He has also had streaming and weepy eyes for a while. Over the past week his stomach also seems to have got vey bloated - Does anybody know what these symptoms might mean??

We would be most grateful of any advice.

Regards

Has he been to the vet? That sounds like it could be a combination of things, and maybe he should at least be on medication if he's got an upper respiratory infection - that would be the breathing problems and the weepy eyes ...

Poor George! Please take him to the vet - it sounds like he's having a really hard time.

Love, Columbine

Yes, a vet visit is in order quickly. If you are struggling to breathe, your family would get you in to an emergency clinic fast so don't waste time w/your kitty. Hopefully, it's an URI that can be quickly cured but you won't know unless you see a vet. Good luck and please keep us posted. We're praying for your kitty and you. Keep the faythe.

Poor kitty!!! He really needs to see a vet!! Please get him to one. Imagine what he is feeling like not being able to breathe?!
