I haven't read through all the posts yet (so maybe somebody has said this already?), but my Lily (kitty cat) has asthma, and the vet can hear her restricted airways when we just go in for a checkup. She is breathing fine when her hears that, but I am able to hear her wheezing out loud when she is running around playing and stops to take breaths--I can put my ear to her chest when she's wheezing and hear it in her lungs too.
I'm thinking it's not asthma, but the dryer sheet/lint makes sense....weird that it would happen way later though. Someone else posted that it happens to their dogs everytime they're around laundry so she keeps them away from it.....just got me thinking that maybe they're allergic to whatever she uses as dryer sheets or laundry detergent or fabric softener. (The longer laundry is left out--hanging, folded, whatever--those scents dissapate.) Do you think Marcel could have been into something like the dryer sheet from earlier in the day instead of sleeping?? And then came to you when he couldn't breathe? I don't know....just a thought....that's the only thing that makes sense to me right now. I'll keep reading....
(I teared up when I read your account of what happened. I'm SOOOO glad he's better and hope it NEVER happens again!!!!)
