Causes of shortness of breath in cats:

1. Caused by exercise: Cats need a lot of support after playing, and they will have shortness of breath.

2. Increase in temperature: Cats mainly rely on their paw pads to dissipate heat. When the temperature is higher, cats will open their mouths to pant to dissipate heat.

3. Cat anemia: When anemic, a cat’s tongue and mouth will be pale in color, which may be due to the destruction of red blood cells caused by internal diseases.

4. Cat heart and lung diseases: The tongue is blue-purple, and the blood has insufficient ability to transport oxygen, so it will have shortness of breath.

5. Cat upper respiratory tract infection: When the cat has an upper respiratory tract infection, the cat's nasal cavity will be inflamed and even blocked, so it will breathe through the mouth.

Methods to deal with shortness of breath in cats:

1. If it is caused by exercise and rising temperature, let the cat rest for a while and it will recover on its own.

2. If it is caused by anemia, you can use drugs to replenish the blood or eat some blood-replenishing foods.

3. If it is caused by neopulmonary disease, you can take some symptomatic drugs appropriately, but you should be careful not to let the affected cat do strenuous exercise.

4. If it is caused by the upper respiratory tract, some cough and asthma drugs can be given appropriately, such as Huchang Jingshuang, which is not irritating to the cat's body.
