Has your pet recently started wheezing? While this could indicate just a mild allergy or a momentary action to airborne environmental allergens, in other cases progressive, repetitive or severe wheezing could indicate a a lot more severe airway disease such as asthma in cats or chronic obstructive airway disease in dogs.
Other causes of wheezing in family pets may include innocent polyps in young cats and tumors in middle age and older dogs and cats. If wheezing is mild animal guardians can certainly try doses of anthistamines such as Benadryl or Chlorpheniramine, along with immune modulator supplements such as Vetri-DMG liquid. In a lot more severe cases that recur a full medical workup is recommended, including X-rays, blood work and heartworm/intestinal parasite testing.
