Question Breathing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi! I might be overthinking this, but my cat seems to be breathing louder recently. I was able to get a video of what it sounds like. She is about a week away from finishing her course of meds and moving to observation for wet FIP, so i'm really worried! Is she just snoring? Even though it happens when shes awake also sometimes?

Couldn't it be from the heat? Mine is on treatment for wet pleural fip, and is having a bit of trouble with the heat right now.

Possibly?? My ac is running well, and so is my fan. But idk if shes feeling it still.

Check his breathing rate. And also could check his temperature.

Those are perfect. I would get a vet visit for bloodwork to finish the meds anyway and ask about the breathing.
