My cat is coughing and breathing hard. Is it from growling at new cat?

My cat has been persistently coughing and her breathing has been laboured lately, but also has been growling a lot because of the presence of a new cat. Could her coughing be because of her growling and should I be concerned?

Hi, and thanks for your question. It is unlikely to be caused by the persistent growling. This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or possibly to a rhinitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed.
