Shortness of breath and abnormal abdominal rise and fall in cats: causes and solutions.
Fan question: After giving birth to kittens, cats often experience shortness of breath and violent fluctuations in their abdomen.
A cat's shortness of breath may be related to the temperature of the environment they are in. According to fans, the air conditioner at home is set at 26 degrees, and the cat often lies on the tiles of the relatively cool bathroom, which indicates that the cat may feel uncomfortable due to the high temperature. Especially during breastfeeding, kittens snuggling up to female cats can increase their body temperature, which may lead to shortness of breath. It is recommended to adjust the indoor temperature to a suitable range, and the living environment of big cats should be kept around 25 degrees Celsius, and small cats should be kept around 27 degrees Celsius for comfort.
Cats during lactation are prone to fatigue and increased body temperature due to their greater physiological needs, which in turn leads to shortness of breath. At the same time, calcium deficiency may also cause similar symptoms, especially in the process of large milk production, calcium loss is serious, and timely replenishment is required. It can provide calcium-rich foods for lactating cats, such as goat milk powder, chicken breast and other high-protein**.
Fans mentioned that the cat itself has a history of severe inflammation and has taken anti-inflammatory drugs, which suggests that we may have a problem with respiratory infection or inflammation. This type of disease can cause damage to the cat's respiratory system, with symptoms such as increased wheezing and loud breathing. For such conditions, you should pay close attention to and seek medical attention in time, and use drugs rationally according to the doctor's instructions.
Although judging from the uploaded **, the cat does not show significant abdominal breathing, given its rapid breathing performance, it is still necessary to pay attention to whether there is a potential risk of cardiomyopathy. If possible, the cat can be brought for further examination to rule out this possibility.
In addition to calcium supplementation and temperature regulation during special periods, daily diet is also essential for cat health. Large cats should ensure that they consume sufficient high-quality protein to meet the needs of breastfeeding, and pay attention to the freshness and nutritional balance of food; Kittens rely on breast milk for all the nutrients they need to grow, ensuring the health of the mother cat and indirectly ensuring the healthy growth of the kitten.
Shortness of breath and abnormal abdominal fluctuations in cats may be caused by a variety of reasons, among which dietary factors cannot be ignored.

Referring to the BARF (Bio-Fit Ingredient Recipe) feeding method, it emphasizes the imitation of the feline diet in its natural environment, including meat, offal, bones, and a small amount of vegetables and fruits. For cats that are lactating and growing and developing, a reasonable BARF diet can meet the various nutrients required for their specific stages to a certain extent, which can help prevent and improve problems such as calcium deficiency, so as to ensure the overall health of cats. However, it is important to follow professional guidance when implementing BARF feeding to avoid new health problems caused by improper proportioning.
