When a cat breathes on the abdomen, it breathes through the expansion and contraction of the abdomen. The normal breathing mode of cats is chest and abdomen breathing. When the cat's chest fluctuates slightly, but the abdomen obviously fluctuates, it is necessary to consider that the cat has abdominal breathing, and even opens its mouth to breathe in severe cases.
If the cat's chest fluctuates slightly and the abdomen fluctuates obviously when breathing, then it means that the cat is breathing in the abdomen. If the cat has symptoms such as abdominal breathing, parents should take the cat to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
The breathing frequency of cats is about 20 to 60 times per minute. When a cat breathes more than 50 times in a relaxed state, it needs to be closely observed. If there is abdominal breathing or oral breathing, don't over-stimulate the cat, keep quiet and take it to the hospital in time.
Because most cats with abdominal breathing are nervous and fragile, they may go into shock or die at any time because of too much stimulation or Baoding. Etiology includes upper respiratory tract collapse or obstruction, pulmonary edema, lung trauma, asthma, emphysema and so on. And chest diseases, such as pneumothorax, empyema, chest trauma, lung tumor compression, diaphragm rupture, etc. , may cause dyspnea and abdominal breathing.
