In my experience, with FELV cats, rapid breathing / open mouth
breathing can indicate a number of things, including lymphoma.
A trip to the vet is certainly in order. There are various options
for treatment, certainly, before considering euthanasia.

I know there have been other members here who lost cats in respiratory
distress. Personally, if it has been on-going, but not worsening, I would go
to the vet where the cat could be put in an oxygen cage for a while and
treated (possibly with steroids like Dexamethasone or Depomedrol, or both).
I totally agree. She is suffering all you can do for her now is to
free her of this as soon as is humanly possible. Please.
