Funny you should mention that Jen because I DID have several recordings
last season when the problem was substantially worse... Of course I
couldn't locate them when I brought him to the vet...but that is the
best answer to my dilemna... The Sound is definitely pronounced enough
to record well... The other day I stuck a large knife in his side to see
if the fluid would come out but all I got was blood.....my bad... really
did little to help the problem....
( I AM JUST KIDDING FOLKS!!!!!..HONEST !!!!! : ).... Looks like I have
some homework to do again on Airway issues in Kitties...

Bob,
Have you tried to record the sounds of his breathing to replay for a
vet?
Suppose you told them about past episodes & effects of thorough
cleaning?

Hello All:
My remaining boy ( Magellin aka " Jelly " ) has some kind of fluid
either
in his lungs or in his trachea... The oddest thing is that despite my
hearing it ALL the time ( and even frequently cupping him to get him
to
cough and clear it a bit) 2 Vets have failed to hear it ( and... in
fact...
it seems to disappear when I've taken him somewhere to "show" them
what I'm
talking about)... possibly adrenaline from being anxious about being
in the
car and a new environment dries it up temporarily.. just like we get
dry
mouths when we are scared?? It concerns me even though it's not
currently
causing him a lot of distress.... it's just very disconcerting when I
hear
him gurgling as he eats his dinner or as he sleeps because I simply
don't
know what it is and if there is something I should be addressing
before it
gets worse... When I first got him he appeared to have an asthma
like
condition with multiple attacks of a kind of " hacking" each day....
Interestingly that was last March as well ( when I first got him....
almost
to the day today..... along his little but older "brother" who lasted
just
under a year with me despite many many trips to vets and multiple
meds
nearly the entire time I had him.... I call him little because he
failed
to thrive from the get go...a poster cat for bad FeLV) I still
feel his
loss and I will be devastated if I were to lose this guy over
something I
could have done something about..... The asthma like condition went
away
after I gave the rugs a thorough cleaning, moved all the furniture
away
from the walls and vacuumed and cleaned... got rid of as much dust as
I
could.... I did so many damn things I'd be hard pressed to know which
( if
any) were the most useful...could have been simply that when I was
finally
able to open the windows THAT did it... All that said.... just
wondering
if anyone has had such symptoms with a cat ( sounds like one of us
might
sound after a bad chest cold just as the mucuus is loosening up...
but
instead of getting better it simply stays at the same level....
Anyone
have experience with using nebulizers with cats ( and yes I've done
the
bathroom shower thing... thats a bit wasteful....).... I'm
actually
wondering about these new " Vape things... ie... if I were to add a
small
dose of medication to it.... they produce a HUGE amount of vapor and
could
be a LOT cheaper than a nebulizer..... Wondering also if anyone has
ever
given a cat a small dose of a mucolytic medication with what
result.???
Ultimately I'll do a chest Xray but... these are rather pricey and
it's
spring "wedding" time now.... another cash outlay.... Though I won't
hold
off if it gets worse... I've just been home a LOT lately and have
been
hearing it all day long many days....
The little guy is still playful , energetic, eats well ,poops and
pees
normally and is his same ultra sociable self... I just don't want to
ignore
something I really should possible be paying more attention to.....
thanks for any suggestions and experience...
Bob

Hi Tina
I would recommend Doxycyline as an antibiotic for FeLV cats.
