Hi there,
I have 2 cats that I adopted from an animal sanctuary within a week of each other. I luv them to bits. They are both male and are so close you would swear they are brothers. Anyway, when I adopted them the animal sanctuary said that i must keep an eye on them as they had just had an attack of "sniffles" on most of the cats. after i had the first one for 2/3 days it was clear that he had the symptoms they described so i contacted them and they asked me to take him to their vet, which i did and received medication. He got better and a few days later I adopted the 2nd one who also showed symptoms after a couple of days. Again I contacted them and went to their vet who gave me medication and he got better and he said the other one would not be affected as he had just had medication recently. About a week later, they both came up with the same symptoms so i took them both back and he gave them the same medication along with some capsules this time and that seemed to do the trick.
the only thing is, every 2/3 days one or the other or both will get a blocked nose and you can hear they are battling to breath a little. it never goes as far as breathing through their mouth but u can hear that the nose is blocked. today they will have a blocked nose and tomorrow it will be fine. u can see that they are not sickly, they both drink and eat as normal but just have this blocked nose that keeps coming back every now and then. there is very little discharge from their eyes and not all the time and i havent seen any green snot coming out their nose but they do sneeze a few times a day when they have the blocked nose. sometimes it lasts 2 days and then its gone.
is there something i can do to help them and do i need to be worried?
