My cat appears to have been in a cat fight. He's 12 years old and is wheezing very loudly like a snoring noise on inhalation. He has to open his mouth slightly on taking in each breath.

I looked for foreign objects but seen none. At first I thought foreign object.

The side of his neck is not bleeding heavily or at all really but there was some blood earlier and is somewhat moist and pussy on one side. So it may be seeping.

I am waiting for the vet to open at 7:30 this am about 6 hours away.

This is tearing me up. It has just been me and my boy "Lucky" all these years. I think he prob had some severe trauma to the neck from a bite wound is my guess.

Please let the next 6 hours go by fast.

I think he will get by till we get to the vet but he is in misery and so am I. Really just 5 hours to go before we leave.

At times he quiets down which seems good but still opens his mouth on each breath.

I just need to do something to occupy my brain until we can go. He may not come home I suppose.

If anyone has any insight or has ever seen this please let me know.

He is resting as best he can.
