Hi there! New here. My cat Dexter developed congestion and coughing (sounded liked quacking) about a month ago. He has been to the vet and has had two courses of doxycycline and clavamox, is on Lysine gel and was on nose drops. For this whole time he was eating and drinking normally. On monday the vet prescribed an antihistamine, but it's been really difficult to give it to him. Today I soaked some of it in water and used the syringe to get it down. Now today he has lost interest in food and that concerns me since he is always such a good eater. He has CKD and gets Sub-Q fluids every other day.
At what point do I need to treat this as an emergency and go to the hospital? If it's been a month with no change and now the eating has decreased, should I be concerned it's something else? TIA for your advice!
