Can cat aspiration pneumonia get worse in cold weather?

Cat aspiration pneumonia will get worse in cold weather, so it needs cold protection and warmth.

Cats with pneumonia are life-threatening and should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Symptoms:

Constantly coughing, coughing up a lot of phlegm and mucus, dyspnea, inactivity, fever, fatigue, anorexia.

Cats with pneumonia are typically characterized by standing with their forelimbs outstretched, drooping their heads and coughing, but they are eager to breathe more air.

Etiology:

Pneumonia can be caused by bacterial or viral infection, or by inhaling food or vomit, smoke or even chemicals. These sick cats are likely to have secondary bacterial infections.

Treatment:

Due to the increase of respiratory secretions and the loss of a large number of body fluids, intravenous infusion may be needed. Veterinarians may ask the cat to be hospitalized and injected with drugs to dilate the respiratory tract to help the cat breathe.
