Ok so here is the story;
My cat Storm is about 17 years old, he's a long haired cat who has never had any problems ever. Last Oct he got fleas
I took him to the vet after his 3 dose of frontline because he seemed to be still scratching like crazy and had a bald spot on the back of his neck. The vet thought that he was having a reaction to the frontline and gave him a shot of something. It worked but then at xmas, we got a real tree (not the first real tree, we had one last year and it was find). But Storm started sneezing like crazy and got really congested and couldn't breath. We had to keep in the downstairs den with a humidifier until the tree was gone. Then she stopped sneezing.
Well fleas have been gone but he is still itching. So the vet gave us allergy pills for him, but after a month of pill pockets, he stopped eating them. Would eat around the pills. Giving him these pills became impossible so I took him back to the vet and he gave him a steriod shot. Depo something or other.
Well it's been only 5 days, and now he's sneezing. This cat is driving me nuts, and I feel terrible he is going through so much. Is the sneezing a reaction to the steriod? Or is it effecting his immune system that quickly to now cause him to get sick easily?
Please Help me... after 17 years of nothing (other then the occasional diarriah because of a sensitive stomach) now we have one issue after another.
