Get him to the vet. Could be several things but the heavy breathing isn't good. I had a 2 year old that had a tumor in her chest and it ruptured. We didn't know she had FeLV because she tested negative as a kitten. Anyway the tumor which is usually caused by FeLV, ruptured her heart so she

Distressed breathing could be a sign of anemia, but there is no time to waste posting on the internet. Please get him to a vet ASAP. If your breathing was like this you would go to a doctor.   Don't Litter, Fix Your Critter! www.Furkids.org   From: Rashel
