Pneumonia in cats can range from mild to severe. If compromising the ability to breathe it can become an emergency. Many cases of pneumonia require immediate veterinary intervention.
Pneumonia is the inflammation of the lungs and airways, resulting in fluid build up and difficulty breathing. Depending on its origin and severity, if not treated soon enough, it can be life-threatening.
