My cat is breathing heavily. What can I do until the vet appointment?

Question

We have vet appt in 12 hours. What can I do to help my cat through the night for his heavy breathing, 62 bpm?

Sara Farmer, DVM · Accepted Answer

Even though you have a vet appointment in 12 hours I would encourage you to see an emergency vet if at all possible. Trouble breathing in a cat is very concerning, and can become life threatening quickly. There is nothing to do at home other than trying to minimize stress as much as possible - keep your cat somewhere quiet with little stimulation.
