Common Questions and Answers about Sneezing cat veterinarian
sneeze
I found a stray kitten and I have noticed he is very playful eats and drinks normally but he seems to be sneezing quite often,watery eyes and nose (the water is not green or anything its just clear) can I go to a petstore and get him something for the sneezing,is that a cold?
s nose so it may be causing the problem or it may just be there and not be the true cause. It was a good course of action for your veterinarian to place your cat on Doxycycline. Since there are still symptoms, it may be persistent Mycoplasma or there could be contributing bacteria or viruses.
Herpes virus is very common in cats and a cat at a shelter has a very good chance of having been exposed to it. Even though the PCR was negative for Herpes, I don't know that I would rule it out.
Vaccination of a particular cat is something that should be discussed and decided on between a cat owner and their veterinarian. It is my understanding that the URI (herpes and calicivirus) vaccine does not completely prevent the cat from getting the virus but it usually greatly reduces the severity of the symptoms. These two viruses are very contagious stable viruses that are very widespread among cat. Most cats are exposed when they are young and have developed some immunity to them.
s getting a problem secondary to allergies and licking and should be seen by your veterinarian. A lot of the sneezing goes along with the same issues, but not all of it. Your veterinarian can help you minimize these symptoms or if you are looking for additional answers, see a veterinary dermatologist for even more options that may help her.
If your cat is not eating or drinking, then this is an emergency, and your cat should go to the veterinarian ASAP. The excessive licking may be due to fleas, allergies, or anxiety (or a combination), and your veterinarian can examine her to tell you the best course of treatment.
All of a sudden, the cat attacked her, I came out, and the cat attacked me. We sat on the couch, cat was fine again, ate some treats, when our feet touched the floor, cat freaked out again. Fangs out, growling, hissing, everything!! I mean cat was screaming! Normally, gentle loving cat. Had here from baby. Never been outside, got all shots, been spayed. We ran out of apartment, afraid to go back in. I am scared and don't know what to do.
I would stop the Vetasyl if you try the Benefiber. Ask your veterinarian about possibly using DSS, a stool softener. It does not make the cat go, it merely assists in the passage of stool.
If your veterinarian has not run a general blood and urine test on your cat, I would strongly recommend that you ask for a panel. You want to be sure that there are no underlying medical issues that could be exacerbating the constipation.
When in doubt, ask your primary care veterinarian.
As a holistic veterinarian, a few weeks ago a veterinarian contacted me about a cat, that sounds very similar to yours. This cat was 18 years old, had arthritis due to multiple pelvic fractures, megacolon and was unable to defecate without daily enemas and fluids. The owner was considering euthanasia.
As a last resort, we started the cat on an all-natural vitamin supplement, patented for cats called Paaws.
My 6yr old male cat has allergic dermitis. He just had to get a shot last week b/c he had sores all over his belly from biting and scratching. Now he has a fat bottom lip. He had the same thing in February, got a shot and it went away. I read that fish based foods can cause allergies. He only eats chicken flavored food but I had just given him a salmon flavored treat a day or so before the lip flare up.
We found my long haired cat outside about 3-4 years ago and she was a healthy cat, been spayed. But lately we've noticed that shes lost some weight and more recently we noticed that shes lost quite a bit of fur on her back and the bottem of her tail. We don't have the money to take her to the vet unless we know theres somethig wrong, could anyone tell me whats wrong?
My 9 year old cat was just diagnosed with Feline Lukemia. I was wondering what natural supplements have been shown to improve quality of life for cat's with Feline Lukemia..
s GI tract and the size of the milk ring, I would be hesitant to say that this will pass easily. If you take your cat to the veterinarian soon, they might be able to catch the ring in the stomach with an endoscope.
I would call your veterinarian for advice on this...in some cases with dogs, veterinarians will recommend a heavy meal to try and coat the object and help move it out of the system. I am not sure if this is an option in cats or not.
Good luck...keep us posted!
If is, of course, impossible for us to say here. But both as a veterinarian, and as a cat owner, this is what I would do. Get a new set of eyes and a new professional opinion - and express your feelings anew to this second veterinarian and proceed with confidence.
In finding this new veterinarian I would look for a specialist in internal medicine. Most major cities have them (DACVIM is after their name), or a Board Certified Veterinary Practitioner (ABVP is after their name).
Sounds to me that there is possibly a cat in the home of the babies or at least one of them. Your cat sounds like it is marking his territory. If your cat smells other cats on the infants it can feel threatened. The cat could also be jealous of the babies. The babies are now getting all the attention and your cat no longer is getting as much attention as before. such as maybe being shooed away as to not accidentally scratch the baby. Your cat has feelings remember that.
You should take this cat into the veterinarian as soon as possible, especially since it sounds as if she has not been to a veterinarian in the time you have had her.
FYI...tapeworms in cats are generally due to fleas. And they are unlikely to cause these type of symptoms.
