My cat had a thoracentitis and during the procedure there was a point a small amount of the fluid came out pink tinged, but resolved. What could that have been indicative of? She later passed within an hour after breathing rapidly. She was thought to have some hard disease possibly and scheduled for a pluerectomy and tying off of her lymph duct the following week.

My cat was diagnosed with a collapsed lung on the left side, as well as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. X-ray also showed a dark spot, possibly a mass, on the right side of her chest. She is only 4 years old. What are the chances of this possible mass being cancer? And what is the correct treatment for the collapsed lung? My vet prescribed an antibiotic for 14 days in case of bacteria in the lungs, but other than that, she did not discuss treatment for the pneumothorax long term. Cam is resolve on its own?

Cat was poked/stabbed with something by a child being mean. Small pen size punctures. It's been 4 days Now and breathing has now become with mouth opened and heavy!it's a stray kitten and no vet anywhere close nor do I have money! I need to know if there is any kids pain meds I can give her and amounts and if nebuliver treatments will help and if albutorl is okay to use in it.or somehow to release air that may be surrounding lungs. I really don't want to lose this kitten. I have a bond with her now and I need help saving her.

My cat was diagnosed with very small amount of air in the chest . This happened after he fell from a third floor. What are the odds of it getting worse? Will it get better without further treatment? His breathing is normal.

My cat, Bruce, had a severe case of constipation. The vet sedated him to clear his bowels. A day and a half later, I was back at the vet because I couldn’t hear any gurgling in his stomach. The vet asked me what mediations I gave him and what kind of accident he was in. Followed up with the anesthesia from the other day didn’t do this. Vet then came back and said it could have caused by the anesthesia. They referred me to an emergency/overnight facility that could put in a chest tube. Sadly, it was too late for Bruce and he couldn’t be saved. The 2nd vet suggested euthanasia. I was there with him until the end. After feeling like I was being accused of hurting my Bruce, the first vet called me and role me they sent his x-rays to UF Veterinary dept and it was a spontaneous pneumothorax caused by a lung bullae.

My 9 week old kitten was unfortunately attacked by another cat. I brought him to the emergency clinic and it was found that he had 4-5 broken ribs, a broken sternum and puncture wounds to his lung(s) that subsequently led to air surrounding them. The emergency vet wrapped him up in a vest and gave him enough pain medicine to last until I took him to my regular vet the next morning. My regular vet prescribed pain medication and antibiotics and said to return 5 days later. Tigger was doing good up until today. It seems that he has took an unexpected turn for the worst and I am unsure on what to do. It is clear that he uncomfortable so I give him pain medication which is supposed to last 4-6 hours but now is barely working. I have kept in contact with the vet throughout the evening and she only tells me to give him more medication. His appointment is not until tomorrow afternoon and I’m unsure if I should bring him into the emergency clinic tonight or wait until tomorrow. My vet has heard his breathing and is aware of his symptoms (shallow rapid breathing, breathing through mouth, not eating or drinking water, loud meowing that I assume is from pain). My vet thinks the medicine will help him throughout the night but it seems that he may have grown a tolerance to it and is constantly in pain
