Clinical symptoms of cat pneumonia:

1. The cat is depressed, has loss of appetite or has no appetite, and has difficulty breathing and progressive difficulty breathing. However, the degree of dyspnea varies depending on the extent of inflammation in the lungs. The greater the extent of inflammation, the more severe the dyspnea.

2. The cat’s body temperature rises, reaching around 40°C. The sick cat coughs and discharges a large amount of nasal fluid, which is serous at first and becomes sticky later.

3. During lung auscultation, murmurs can be heard. During X-ray examination, it can be seen that the inflammatory area appears as a shadow, which is like a cloud, varies in size, and even spreads and melts into one piece.

Causes of cat pneumonia:

1. It is generally caused by the spread of colds and bronchitis and the reduction of the body’s resistance.

2. Pneumonia may also occur due to secondary bacterial infection due to sudden changes in weather, dirty air, vitamin deficiency or migration of parasites.

3. Pneumonia can also be caused by viruses or molds (such as feline distemper virus, calicivirus, etc.).
