Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / October 2004odd sneezing and snorting
Hi everyone, This is the first time I have posted here. I have been trying to figure out what's going on with this one particlur kitty that I have been taking care of for a friend. Anyhow, she seems to have these sneezing fits and contantly seems to have a stuffed up nose. There is no bad yellow discharge that I have ever seen. Her left eye seems to water allot. She sneezes for no reason at all. But it is constant. She makes snorting sounds as well. She seems to eat ok at times. Doesn't seem to have any loss of appetite. She drinks water just fine. Though when she does eat or drink she sounds like a, excuse the expression, piggy chowing down. She is not over weight. I am at my wits end in trying to figure out what's going on with her short of taking her to the vet. If anyone has any information they can provide on this issue, I'd greatly appreciate it. > Hi everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > like a, excuse the expression, piggy chowing down. She is not over > weight. What breed? Is she a flat-faced cat, like some varieties of Persian and Himalayan? If so, there may be nothing more going on than the usual issues with those types of cats. She could have any number of the usual upper respiratory infections. Most of these go away by themselves, but some cats need the support of vet care to fully recover. Some never do, having the URI recur at times of stress. She could have allergies, an infection, a broken nose (or had one that healed funny), or any number of issues from minor to major. Only a vet could really tell you what's up. We can only guess.

The Vet said, it's good thing I brought her in cause she did need to be on antibiotics. Whether the tumor is malignant or not is being determinded. So in the mean time I'll do all I can for her to make her comfy and make sure she is eating enough etc... I dont know what I am going to do at the moment. I am a little bit overwhelmed by the news. Thank you all for your thoughts and suggestions and time. > Adelaides diagnosis, > > I am extremely sad to report that Adelaide has a tumor in her nasal passage.

I sincerely hope that the tumor is benign and can be removed or shrunk. << I am extremely sad to report that Adelaide has a tumor in her nasal passage. >> Oh, dear, I'm very sorry. I hope it winds up being not as serious as you are thinking right now. How old is Adelaide? This seems pretty uncommon, right? Please keep us posted on what's going in with her.

First -- take her to a Vet to rule things out. 2. feed her premium food such as Wellness or chicken soup for cat lovers' soul. 3. do you have an air cleaner? one of those big hepa ones? I use several in my house for my allergies, they also get rid of a lot of odors. Also a good room deodorizer is "Ozium" comes in a tall, thin, blue and white spray can and can be gotten in the auto section of Wal Mart, or at any car wash. (don't use Lysol around cats) this doesn't put a scent in the air, it actually kills odors. Also, one of the gel room deodorants comes in ozium, they call it "super odor killer" but it's permeated with ozium. It too comes in a blue and white package. I have 7 cats and you rarely smell "cat" in my house. LT This note was meant for Problem With Dorrie went to wrong post.

How long has it been going on? Thanks for all the replies. This has been going on for a while now. I'd say about 3 months. At first I wasn't concerned just thought it might be an allergy of some sort. She is a mixed breed kitty. Not persian. Doesn't have that pushed in face. I think she is just a med/long hair tabby. Real pretty kitty. I think I should take her to the vet as suggested to out rule any thing that might not be so previlant. I will post the vet findings in a few days. I do have another question, Why not use Lysol spray around Kitty? PS: Pardon my manners, her name is Adelaide. > I do have another question, Why not use Lysol spray around Kitty? The droplets of the spray land on the floor. The main ingredient is phenol. The cat licks it off his feet. It can cause liver damage or brain damage. Signaturejamie (jamiemck@newsguy.com) "There's a seeker born every minute." Oh I had no idea about lysol. Thank you for your enlightment on that. Well I take Adelaide to the vet this arvo. I will let everyone know what it is that is going on with her. Thank you again for all your replies. |
