My cat's breathing sounds like fluid. Could he have inhaled medicine?

Question

My 17 yr old cat is in renal Disease which worsened in the last 2 wks. I am dispensing 1ml of aluminum hydroxide every 12 hours. How do I know if he inhaled it instead of swallowing it? His breathing sounds like there is fluid in there. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 17 years and 10 months old | 9 lbs

Hi there. Usually inhalation would not cause fluid in the lungs, but I would recommend having Baby seen by your vet if you suspect any lung issues. These can be progressive and get worse rapidly, so if you're able to have Baby checked today that would be a good idea. I hope that helps, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
