Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / January 2005Snot Nosed Kitten
After two rounds of Clavimox plus daily doses of l-lysene for a month, the orange kitten is still wheezing and dribbling snot. Some days more than others, but I usually find a huge dried out snot pancake stuck to his nose when I come home in the evening. The vet (the most strikingly gorgeous woman I've ever met who was actually friendly to me), having done a chest xray and blood test has ruled out just about every very bad thing, and only soft palate polyp or foreign object remain as likely causes. Does anyone have experience with snotty nosed kittens? The kitten goes in again tomorrow morning for examination under anasthesia. Anyone in Portland, OR interested in a matched set of an orange kitten and his probable father, an orange cat?

My memory is faulty, also. > After two rounds of Clavimox plus daily doses of l-lysene for a month, > the orange kitten is still wheezing and dribbling snot.

Hi people, My 1st chat so not sure how it goes. But in response to snott kitten.... I have a 6 yr old with same symptoms. Also on same medication. Seem better now, but he had these same problems a couple months ago & wa also given antibiotics. It came back. Dr. said no congestion and nos clean. No fever. So when medicine is gone we'll see. But it's weir huh? c -- ccpouncer > After two rounds of Clavimox plus daily doses of l-lysene for a month, > the orange kitten is still wheezing and dribbling snot.

One of my cats, a turkish van, had a runny nose his entire life ( he died 2 years ago from CRF, at age 13). It never seemed to bother him. All tests were taken but nothing was ever found to be the cause. I nicknamed him snot, but only called him it in private. He was a truely handsome animal. About every three or four days I'd clean his nose with a wet warm tissue. And he did wheeze when he slept, sometimes loudly sometimes not. Not sure if what I've posted but at least it lets you know other cats experience nasal discharge also. My very best cat ever, Charlie, had a snotty nose all his life. From kittenhood on, he snuffled & blew boogers far & wide. I wiped his nose frequently & we had a wonderful relationship. He loved to ride on my shoulder & whuffle in my ear. He died at age 17 in 1992, of complications of intestinal cancer unrelated to his nasal afflictions. Perhaps the extra attention he got because of his snotty nose made him so very affectionate. www.mimiforsyth.com This is a picture of the polyp that my beautiful veterinarian yanked out of my kitten's nose this morning. http://www.spiretech.com/~guynoir/livestock/polyp.jpg While the kitten appears lethargic and doped up in this photo, that's just an act. As soon as I got him home, he was running around trying to catch up on two months of lost kittenhood. The soft palate is that part of the roof of your mouth that flaps when you snore. It's difficult to look behind it in a cat, they have to be anesthetized. The reason for looking is because polyps aren't all that uncommon in kittens and young cats. They may get their start from an infection. Once removed, it's possible that it may return again.

I've never heard of this in animals--but my sister had a procedure that was supposed to remove polyps that had built up from years of allergies. > While the kitten appears lethargic and doped up in this photo, that's > just an act.
