Cat Forum / General Topics / November 2005Sneezing
My 15 year old cat sneezes occasionally, but otherwise seems in good health. Should I be concerned about it? Thanks Richard my cat once started sneezing and could not stop. he sneezed about 50 times over the course of 2 minutes. > my cat once started sneezing and could not stop. he sneezed about 50 > times over the course of 2 minutes. did you tally the sneezes. You probably missed a few it was probably more then 50. maybe your cat caught bird flu from a migratory pigeon. make sure he does not sneeze on you. > My 15 year old cat sneezes occasionally, but otherwise seems in good > health. Should I be concerned about it? Thanks Richard Depends. How often is "occasionally"? It could be just a bit of dust in the air. My cats will sneeze every now and then. Usually it will be 2 or 3 or more times in a day, then nothing for days or weeks at a time. If the frequency is increasing I'd start looking for the cause, whether it's dust or pollen or some type of infection. > My 15 year old cat sneezes occasionally, but otherwise seems in good > health.

Thanks Richard seem to sneeze more in fall or spring? She/he could be allergic to something. Just keep a close eye on her/him. When my Big Mama was younger she was sneezing off and on for a couple weeks. At first I thought she had a cold. After a week, I thought she had an allergy. Finally I saw what I thought was a snot booger in her nose, so I decided to wipe her nose. I wound up pulling out a blade of grass about 3" long stuck in her nasal passage ! > My 15 year old cat sneezes occasionally, but otherwise seems in good > health. Should I be concerned about it? Thanks Richard Occasionally? Depends on your definition. Once in a month. Probably not a concern Once a day ....I'd bring my cat to a vet. Start a little tally, if the number increases or if you start to hear difficulty breathing, advise your vet. > My 15 year old cat sneezes occasionally, but otherwise seems in good > health. Should I be concerned about it? Thanks Richard If my cat sneezed a couple of times a day I don't think it would bother me that much. I've had a cat for long enough to differentiate between a harmless sneeze and a sick cat. By the way, I sneeze three or four times a day due to allergies, and I take medication for it. Should I rush out to see my doc? I think not! >Occasionally? Depends on your definition. >Once in a month.

Thanks Richard Foreign bodies, non-malignant polyps, and nasal tumors can cause sneezing in cats. If my cat sneezed every day, I'd be concerned for my cat, even if it didn't "bother me". > By the way, I sneeze three or four times a day due to allergies, and I > take medication for it.

Should I be concerned about it? Thanks Richard In human years your cat is about 78 years old. He/she may be due for a physical. The sneezing seems to have tapered off to nothing. I haven't heard one in a couple of days. I am guessing it was some kind of alergy. Thanks for all the advice.
