Hello
I wonder if anyone can help?
I have a three year old Ragdoll boy, who has a stuffed up nose and his eyes are runny sometimes. He sneezes most days, in rapid succession and has had this latest bout for about three weeks.
We are taking him to the vet tomorrow evening.
He used to live with a black cat, who caught what we thought was cat flu, at about ten months of age. However, it was not cat flu, but the vet didn't know what it was. It did clear up with antibiotics though. A few days later, the Ragdoll caught it, but has never really been rid of it, since. I don't know whether the black cat still has it, because he lives with my ex husband.
Mr Sparkles, my Raggie, has had antibiotic courses, but really, the vet doesn't know what it is. He suggested Chlamydia, but I don't think he really has any idea. This all started when he was about six months old. He was fully vaccinated at the correct times. He was quite poorly, when he had it as a kitten, as was the black cat.
He has no other symptoms and is lively, alert and eats well. My other ten year old Ragdoll girl doesn't have it and neither does my black moggie, who is five and they have never caught it and they have always been together with Mr Sparkles. It comes back to him, sporadically. We thought it recurred in times of stress; such as when we moved, or because of the central heating, but we are at a loss.
The only problem, apart from his heavy breathing, through blocked nose, is that we can't get any sleep, as he snores in our ears!!
Has anyone else had anything similar, in their cats?
Many thanks in advance and anticipation.
