I can't say for sure, but this could be related to a respiratory problem.

Cleaning out the environment was a very good move. Try raising the temperature a degree or two.

If this were my pet, I'd be on the way to a vet.

See if one on this list is near you

But if not, just go to a local vet. Any vet is better than no vet.

Good luck.
