Those Yeowww! catnip bananas are very popular with kitties. Young, middle aged, senior or young at heart. My cat likes to rest her chin on top after playing with one, using it like a tiny pillow.
 
Currently at the Veterinary with Phoebe. She's had breathing and wheezing issues since Sunday night. Praying for her wellbeing.
 
Hope everything is ok with Phoebe. Maybe it's only a "kitty cold."

Definitely worth getting checked out by the vet. Please let us know how Phoebe (and you) are doing.
 
They drained 150 ml. of fluids from her right lung. I'll post the conclusion from Dr. Fox.

I see she is playing with one of her Yeoww catnip butterflies.

Atelectasis is a partial collapse of the lung, often due to fluid accumulation. It's good that the vet removed the fluid accumulation that was there.

Pleural effusion is a buildup of fluid between the tissues that line the lungs and the chest.

Fluid can accumulate around the lungs due to poor pumping by the heart or by inflammation.
Symptoms include rapid shallow breathing, open mouth breathing, increased respiratory rate, blue or pale gums, sometimes a cough.
Treatments include antibiotics, water pills (diuretics), and removal of the fluid.

Did the vet put Phoebe on any type of medications?
Was her heart ok?
Are they going to test the fluid sample that was removed?

Simply my own curiosity. No need to answer if you do not want to.
 
Has she had any recent bloodwork? I’m looking at the last line, chronic kidney disease. It’s the only thing I could understand...:oops::rolleyes:

Thanks Deb you know your stuff! She was experiencing a weezie cough since Sunday. But eating. She hardly ate last night and none this morning. Phoebe's heart is ok and she's not on any medications. Her fluids were sent off to the lab for testing. We got to the Veterinary at 745am and she was released at 2pm. Once we got home l gave her some fresh food and she ate! She was sitting next to me purring like nothing ever happened! Phoebe has to be the most resilient cat I've ever had!!! I have no idea how she does but she's a fighter and a survivor like her Dad. Me! I'll be doing a follow up in 7 to 10 days

She does look pretty "chilled out" on the sofa/chair, looking up at you as she has the butterfly toy in her paws.

I've had 2 cats with heart disease, 2 with kidney disease, 2 with hyperthyroidism, 2 with oral cancer, 1 with liver issues, 1 with irritable bowel disease/food sensitivities, 1 with diabetes, (plus fosters), 1 with suspected Cushing's, 2 with stomatitis, 1 that had suspected renal Lymphoma (misdiagnosed), etc. Plus I've done cat sitting for a few friends and friend's of friends.

And I've only had 5 cats!

I've pilled plenty of cats, given injections, learned to do subq fluids at home. The list goes on and on.

Did you get the pill to give her, or did you get the transdermal gel to put on the inside of her ear?

I've used both ways. The pill for a cat that was easy to give pills to. The trans-dermal gel for my own cat, and one of the people I cat sit for also uses the transdermal gel for her cat. Medication is absorbed through the skin. Ears need to be switched each day. Ears need to be cleaned after so many days, to remove the excess buildup of the medium that contains the medication. Finger cots, so you don't absorb the medication through your own skin. Wash hands thoroughly afterwards, for either using the pill or gel.
