1. Hyperthermia
The way cats dissipate heat is very different from that of humans. The sweat glands in a small area dissipate heat. When the cat feels very hot, in order to expel the excess heat from the body as soon as possible, the cat will open its mouth to pant. In addition, cats will find a cooler place to stay still to prevent their bodies from generating more heat.
2. Frightened
After being frightened, cats will also open their mouths and pant due to excessive stress. Cats are generally frightened by environmental changes, loud noises, or bathing. Owners should be very careful, put the cat in a quiet place to rest as soon as possible, and comfort it in time.
3. Asthma in cats
Cats can also develop asthma due to seasonal allergies or excessive dust, environmental stimuli, etc. In addition to gasping for air, cats may also cough repeatedly If the condition is serious, the cat’s tongue, lips and other parts will turn purple due to lack of oxygen, and it should be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment in time.
4. Blocked nose
The cat has a cold or is infected with feline nasal branch, Mycoplasma feline, feline calicivirus When it is sick, it will cause symptoms of respiratory infection and cause the cat to have a runny nose. If it is not cleaned up in time, the cat’s nose will be blocked by the snot, so the cat can only breathe through the mouth. In addition, because the cat’s nose can’t smell the smell, the cat’s appetite will also be affected, and the cat needs to be treated with medicine in time.
5. Heart disease
Older cats and obese cats are more prone to heart disease, so if these types of cats experience physical decline, they often open their mouths and pant after moving for a while. Send to the hospital in time for examination.
6. Excessive fatigue
Some young cats are more energetic and often can’t stop playing. After the cat has been exercising vigorously and running back and forth for a period of time, the cat will develop symptoms of open mouth breathing. Generally, it will return to normal after the cat stops and rest for a few minutes, and the owner does not need to worry too much.
