Has anyone figured out how to stop kitties with URI's from sneezing? They're on antibiotics and lysine, but are still constantly sneezing. I feel so bad for them.

How long have they been on the meds?

Both my cats had URV when I brought them home from the shelter, and the vet suggested putting them in a room with a vaporizer/humidifier. I think it really helped clear their sinuses, so it may be worth a try.

Good luck!

You might also ask your vet about Interferon. It helped my kitty when the lysine (which he hated) did not.

The new cat has been on meds for over a week now and my old cat just started showing symptoms so he's only been on them for a few days. maybe i will ask about the interferon since the lysine doesn't seem to be helping that much (they're both getting 500mg twice a day)
