Before anyone asks, I have and WILL continue to work with my vet until we find answers but he/she/ whoever happens to be on duty, haven't seemed too concerned thus far with finding an exact cause. They more or less shrug and say "allergies".
What I am trying to find out is, My cat Autumn, wheezes occassionally and will whistle through her nose when she is relaxed but not sound asleep. She has watery eyes that leave brown tear stains just like Persian cats but not as heavy. She also will make a wet, raspy, coughing noise, like a wet, hack, hack, hack, sound while she stretches out along the ground. She hasn't ever thrown up a hairball. My client has an old Siamese that makes the exact same noise and HER vet told her it was asthma combined with allergies.
Is is hard or expensive to find out why my cat has these issues? My other cat Lily also has watery eyes, but no tear stains, clear fluid in her ears sometimes, but she never has that hacking cough noise that Autumn makes.
I am curious if anyone else has cats with allergies and if so, what are they allergic to, and are the symptoms similiar to what I described? Sorry this is so long. I wanted to be detailed.
