Just wondering if this is normal breathing. With Pebbles right now, when you put your ear to her chest, you can hear the air flow going in and out of the lungs. However I can also hear this other noise. Not sure if its wheezing or not, but its like when you have a slightly blocked nose and you breath in and out through it. Can't hear nothing unless my ear is touching her chest.
 
Does anyone know? I am going to be taking my cat to the vets in like 20 minutes, so I would rather take Pebbles at the same time if she needs it.
 
I would take her to the vets as it could be a chest infection. Our piggy had pneumonia but it cleared up with anti biotic and she was fine.
 
There should be no sounds except usual lung sounds you described. (air rushing in and out) and other unusal crackles/wheezes/clicks then a vet should examine your piggie to see if she has a chest infection.

Did you take her?
