Why is my senior cat wheezing, wobbly, not eating, and incontinent?

Question

My 12 yr old cat has hyperthyroidism controlled with transdermal medication. Today she has suddenly started wheezing, runny nose, won't eat or drink , is walking wobbly and loss of bladder control. Do you think you this is a respiratory infection or could this be kidney failure? Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Female | spayed | 12 years and 6 months old | 5 lbs

This sounds more like a respiratory infection. Losing bladder control happens also when the cat all of a sudden cannot breathe for a second. Make sure you wipe the discharge off her nose and take her to a vet (pet ER) tonight. The wobbly walk is very concerning.
