Danielle, thanks for the link. It could be
pleural effusion. My vet doesn't work Fridays, but I can see if another
vet will see him.
Cherie, thanks for thinking of us. It helps to
know.
Steve

Possible pleural effusion. Please see a vet.
Thanks

In the last couple of days, Loki has developed some kind of internal
problem. From outward appearances, it looks like his lungs are expanding
and contracting in a very pronounced way, at about once a second (I don't
know what a normal lung expand/contract would be). It seems like he has
always had some kind of internal hiccup. Seems like I've seen very slight
weird organ movements once in awhile over time, but he was normal acting and
seemed great. Now, he looks a little distressed in that the lungs going in
and out are a little uncomfortable. And, he is not as active. I am
thinking it is not anemia because when he does move around, he does so very
easily and without a change in breathing.
I'm hesitating about taking him to the vet, because it is a further stress,
but I will do so if there is any sign of pain or of this gets worse or
continues another day or two.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Loki is almost 10 months old now, and is the last survivor of his siblings,
all FeLV+.
