Hi everyone,
I wanted to get your thoughts on a video of Krammer wheezing. He is
12, has had FeLV for the past 1.5 years. The wheezing has been a
chronic issue for the past year or so, and I've posted about it
before, it's usually caused by a case of pneumonia (which my vet tells
me is rare in cats, but he gets it a lot). On bad days he has a noisy,
gurgly purr, frequent swallowing, and wheezing spells once or twice a
day that last for about 30-60 seconds. Eventually the gurgles and
swallowing will clear up, and he'll only have an occasional wheezing
spell. He had an ultrasound/echocardiogram about 6 months ago, and an
xray last month of his lungs which showed the small spot of pneumonia,
and he took an antibiotic, which helped some.
This weekend his right eye got infected, with green discharge. He's
had uveitis (one pupil smaller than the other) before, but not in
awhile. I've been giving him Neomycin/Polymyxin gel since Sunday. He
gets an LTCI injection (an immune booster) once a month, but I think
I'll give him another one today. Does anyone else use LTCI?
Going to check with my vet too, but wanted to see what the listserv
had to say. Here's the wheezing video:

He's been sleeping a lot the past 2 days, but still has an appetite.
Thanks,
Katherine
