I am searching for some clues for Sunny's coughing issues. I have had her to the vet two times and on Prednisolone two times, plus deworming (altho she is an indoor only girl). She has been coughing off and on for a month this go-round although it does not seem to affect her much. The vet said it was in her trachea, not lungs, but this time the Prenisolone did nothing. She has a great appetite (but not excessive), is on Blue food (was on dry but switched her two days ago to canned). She thinks she has died and gone to heaven with it.
I noticed months ago she was sneezing and changed her litter from PetSmart generic back to a better quality, and switched her food from Eukanuba to Spot's Stew. SS made her vomit, so then we went to Blue Buffalo. It suits her fine and no grain in it, but now am thinking maybe she needs a wet foot of a raw diet (recipe anyone??). She no longer sneezes.
She is about 5 1/2, an orange female tabby, great personality and energy. She does not get short of breath or fatigued, is quite active all the time and when she starts coughing to she comes to me so I can 'thump' her (I am a Medical Massage Therapist) over her lungs which she purrs through while coughing.
Any ideas?? We did move to OR from CO a year and a half ago and I have different allergies than I did in CO.
I appreciate any input you can give me. She does not get treated for fleas as she does not go out. Thanks!! Candace
