Hello,
I have noticed that my 19 year old cat has been having some difficulty breathing the last few days, as well as not eating. She has lost a lot of weight and is lethargic and dehydrated.

I took her to her vet yesterday and after an exam and a chest x-ray, we noticed she had fluid around the lungs. Our vet suggested we do a tap to remove the fluid and I am considering that now. My question is - how traumatic is this for the cat?

What are your experiences with an elderly cat who presents with these symptoms?

Thanks
Julie
