Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / January 2006Cat Sneezing
Has anyone else had a cat that has been sneezing lately? One of my cats, Isis has been sneezing for the past few days but has had no discharge from her eyes or nose. She has an appointment at the vet tomorrow but am wondering if this is as serious as I am making this out to be? One of my friends claimed he gave his cat a couple of drops of lemon juice in his water dish and after a few days the cat was fine. I am more a better safe than sorry kind of guy and saw that when Isis was sneezing it could be URI but I have no clue where she would have gotten it as she is mainly an indoor cat. None of my other cats have been sneezing.  SignatureCat Galaxy: All Cats!

None of my other cats have been sneezing. I asked my vet back when one of our cats was sneezing. She said if there is no discharge and the cat does not seem ill, it's usually nothing to be worried about. She probably got some dust or a hair in her nose. Our cat has been sneezing occasionally--usually after grooming--for eight years now and she's in perfect health. Some cats just sneeze more than others, I guess. -Yngver Well Isis is wheezing a little bit so I am having her checked out anyway. It very well could be nothing but Isis has been sneezing for four days now. If it had been once a few days ago I probably wouldn't be worried but this concerns me. SignatureCat Galaxy: All Cats!

None of my other cats have been sneezing. Could be alergies. SignatureHugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ I thought that could be the issue. I guess I'll have the vet check her out so I at least have peace of mind. SignatureCat Galaxy: All Cats!

I believe that's a good idea; there's one cat here who has been sneezing frequently this winter but no "discharge" or illness signs nor wheezing. These cats never ever go outside, and that's why I am not concerned. If your sneezer does get out, vet can check her out and relieve your worry. I took Isis in this morning and the vet checked her out. He said her eyes, nose and ears were pretty clean. She has a normal temperature. He said that it is hard to tell what is causing the sneezing so he prescribed some Chlorphenirame (which is an antihistamine) and Amoxi drops (antibiotic) which one of my other cats is taking for his UTI. She has been wheezing a little and the vet noticed this so that is probably what prompted the meds. Besides the medication he recommended a vaporizer for Isis as well. For the most part Isis is in pretty good health aside from the sneezing which hopefully the meds will clear up. SignatureCat Galaxy: All Cats!

None of my other cats have been sneezing. My vet said that lots of cats are sneezing now. Mine was sneezing (prompting the call) and clearly had a cold within a few days. He's on the mend now and was just about normal over the weekend. Well, normal for him, insane for any normal beast. Our vet didn't know why Isis was sneezing but but prescribed an antibiotic and a antihistamine. She'll be taking them for the next week. SignatureCat Galaxy: All Cats!
