Feline Cough
We have a
kitten that is about 15 weeks old, and she seems to be hacking, and
breathing weird. She doesn't hack anything up, but her eyes are
crusted with brown stuff. Otherwise she plays, sleeps, eats and
everything else. Do you know what can be wrong with her? And also what we
can do? She is part Persian and Siamese
Sounds as though she is sick, and needs to see her doctor. She likely has an upper respiratory tract infection. It is best to treat sooner, rather than wait until it gets worse. Your veterinarian will be able to properly diagnose the problem, and prescribe the best medication. It could also be an allergy or heart condition, both also needing veterinary attention.
Persians often have tear stains running from their eyes down the sides of their noses. This is normal, related to the shape of the face. It shows up most in light colored cats. If you didn't mention the hacking and brown crusts, I may have said it was normal.
