Cats that show signs of difficulty breathing should be taken to your veterinarian immediately.
Restrict exercise following discharge from the hospital. Cats that are recovering from a pneumothorax should be rested for at least 1 week following discharge from the hospital and then gradually reintroduced to their regular activities. Cats that are allowed to exercise too soon may cause a sealed leak to re-open or may tire easily and prolong their recovery.
