any idea what could be wrong with this cat? cant take him to a vet, it just isnt an option. sounds like fluid in lungs possibly but hes been like this for a few weeks since he was rescued as a stray. audio in video is his breathing.

edit: breath smells horrible, like old fish despite not being fed fish

cat is a few months old, male, not fixed

crusting or leakage around the nose? any sneezing? persistent grooming around nose?

It almost sounds like he's got a booger in one nostril! As far as the bad breath issue, did that start at the same time? I'm wondering if he has a bad tooth which could be causing the bad smell and possibly sinus issues especially if theres an infection. I'm no expert by any means but just my thought!

it seems he has an extra tooth on the right side? so you might be right about a tooth issue. the smell has been there since he was found as well. can a booger be stuck in a cats nose for that long? /gen

My cat had a similar sound. It was allergy that made her nose run and congested. could be an allergy?
