When cats sleep, they occasionally make some slight purring, which is very common, but when kittens make obvious rumbling sounds when they breathe, you should pay attention. So what is the reason why kittens breathing rumbling? Why did the kitten make a rumbling sound? Let’s take a look at what’s going on with the kitten making a rumbling sound.
1. Upper respiratory tract infections
are generally prone to cause upper respiratory tract infections in cats, including herpes virus, calicivirus, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc. If the cat often catches cold, it will also increase the probability of upper respiratory tract infection. After an upper respiratory tract infection of the cat, symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, coughing, shortness of breath will usually occur. If the cat is found to have the above symptoms, be sure to keep warm and take the cat to a nearby pet hospital for treatment in time to avoid missing the best treatment opportunity.
2. Lower respiratory tract infection
Lower respiratory tract infection in cats is mostly caused by secondary upper respiratory tract infection, and may also be caused by foreign objects such as water entering the lungs. Lower respiratory infections usually cause abnormal symptoms such as severe coughing and enhanced lung breathing. This is generally dangerous, so you need to go to the pet hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
