The reason also why I didn't suspect overhydration, even with the amount given, was, as I said, the symptoms didn't appear until 15 hours later and just one, moderate shortness of breath, no discharge for the nose,etc. The other thing is that when my cat because severely dehydrated the mucus, phlegm, that had abated because the vet had given a Dexamethasone shot, came back in a matter of hours. Although I didn't hydrate my cat to the extent I did for this reason, the overhydration cleared up the phlegm and mucus completely in a matter of hours. His breathing was clear for the first time in four months because the increased fluid level thinned the mucus and although he had been hydrated off and on before not to that extent. When I looked up info concerning that it said that people who have a problem with excess mucus and phlegm should drink large volumes of water.
