Bronchitis in cats is typically not contagious, as it is often caused by allergies, asthma, or environmental irritants. However, if the bronchitis is due to a bacterial or viral infection, it may be contagious to other cats.

Pneumonia in cats can be contagious depending on the underlying cause. Viral or bacterial pneumonia can spread between cats, especially in multi-cat households or shelters. Fungal and aspiration pneumonia, however, are not contagious. If your cat has respiratory symptoms, it's best to isolate them and consult a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment.

Watch out for these telltale pneumonia signs: your cat may seem unusually tired, turn away from food, and develop a troubling deep cough. You might notice them struggling to breathe, with fluttering lips and an alarming bluish tint to their gums. They'll likely run a fever too. Vets typically solve this puzzle through patient history, a thorough check-up, and targeted testing.

In the early stages of chronic bronchitis, the primary symptom is a persistent, dry, and harsh cough lasting over a month. Gagging often follows coughing, sometimes mistaken for vomiting.

These herbs support bronchial and lung health in cats. Fenugreek seed helps soothe inflammation, while Cat’s Claw Bark and Amor Seco Leaf provide immune support. Elecampane Root and Echinacea Root aid respiratory function, and Mustard Seed, Pleurisy Root, and Mullein Leaf help clear congestion. Thyme Leaf and Yerba Santa Leaf support lung function, Slippery Elm Bark soothes the throat, and Rosemary Leaf acts as a natural antioxidant.
