My 14 year old Jeffery didn't really eat breakfast this morning and tonight he was plainly not interested in supper. He's making a noise that sounds like he's got mucus going down the back of his throat (if he were a human). He sort of snorts then swallows like it was mucus he was clearing. Ears are cool, eyes are clear. He's laying on the bed at the moment---which he never does. I don't notice anything with his breath but a couple of years ago he had to get 2 teeth pulled, so I worry it's that.
For as long as he tolerates me near him, it sounds like his nose is stuffy. He's a shy cat and at the most will agree to drape himself across my ankles, but not a snuggler or fond of a concerned cat guardian looking at him long. In fact, getting him into a pet carrier is difficult. When he got the teeth pulled the vet was supposed to give him his vaccinations and then forgot. I was so irked because getting him back there was especially not cool since he remembered quite well the teeth pulling.
We're going to take him to the vet tomorrow to see what's up, but does this sound like upper respiratory?
He's not a chewer or playful so I don't think he's ingested something. Last night he was bugging me for a snack so this is a new thing today.
