The difference between a cat’s normal breathing and abdominal breathing:

1. A cat’s normal breathing is thoracoabdominal breathing. The breathing frequency of its chest and abdomen is the same. It rises and falls regularly, with a respiratory rate of 30 to 40 times a minute.

2. Abdominal breathing is when a cat uses its abdominal muscles to breathe. The abdomen undulates greatly. If there is a problem with the cat’s chest and lungs and it cannot exhale enough air needed by the body, or the cat has pulmonary insufficiency or heart disease, Vascular diseases, liver diseases, etc. will cause the use of abdominal breathing to promote the inhalation of large amounts of air. At this time, the owner should not move the cat and wait for the cat to calm down before taking it to the hospital.

If a cat has abdominal breathing, the owner should pay attention to:

1. When the cat has abdominal breathing or mouth breathing, the owner should keep quiet and do not stimulate the cat. Take him to the hospital for treatment.

2. The owner should identify whether the cat’s abdominal breathing is due to a chest or lung problem, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, or lung function disorder, etc.

3. Cats breathing from a separate chest or abdomen indicate internal disease in the chest or abdomen.
