Cats are known for their calm, composed demeanor, and when it comes to breathing, even subtle changes can signal something serious. If you notice your cat open-mouth breathing, it’s important to take it seriously. Unlike dogs, cats do not typically pant, and breathing with an open mouth is often a sign of distress.

In this blog, our team at Bowman Veterinary Hospital helps you understand what’s normal and what’s not, so you can act quickly during a cat breathing emergency. 

Survivors of wildfires, tornadoes, earthquakes, and floods could all agree that being prepared for natural disasters beats the alternative.

When a pet is not well, it can be a stressful time. While our staff at Bowman Veterinary Hospital likes to think we are pretty good at helping animals, the truth is that a lot of caring for a sick pet falls on your shoulders as their guardian.
