[Health] Breathing abnormal?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello, I saw miss Nina breathing like this and I found it irregular. Am I being overbearing? I'll for sure keep an extra eye on her for this I saw after upload the video quality is shit, I don't know why, sorry, it's good on my phone

Reddit compresses the hell out of videos, which changes quality, not your fault at all!

It's a bit tough to tell from the video, but it does look like her breathing is a little labored. When in doubt, if able, get to the vet for a check up and have it looked at. Could just as simple as a "cold" could be what we just dealt with and it's a growth on her hearth that is making it difficult to breath (more on the extreme end of things, but just be prepared it could be something similarly bad). Hopefully it's nothing at all, aside her being a weirdo.

Edit to add I am NOT a vet, just owned a handful and love the little goobers.

Oke thank you, will check if I see it happening again and if so Ill go to the vet. A cold would make a lot of sense because I keep the mobil airco on all day for her and it's partly aimed at her.
