Hi all
Korra, my cat, has had sneezing fits ever since I brought her home from the shelter. It was only a few sneezes a day. After two and half weeks of having her, she started having coughing fits and being incredibly congested. The vet saw her and agreed she had upper respiratory infection. We took lung xrays At the vet and confirm she did not have pneumonia. They gave her An antibiotic shot and then some liquid antibiotics meds. I Medicated her. It’s be 10 days later, antibiotic meds are gone and she Is still the same.
here condition now: Less congested (but it is still there) and occasional sneezing fits (about once or twice a day) but the coughing fits Have gotten more pronounce and def have not gone away or lessen. See below for a link to video of her with one of her coughing fits video. 2/3 of the coughing fits r this aggressive, where her whole body sorta shakes and she crouches down. I have not seen any hair balls and it’s been at least 3 weeks of this terrible sounding cough. The coughing happens most commonly in the morning hour (shortly after waking), after she eats, and after a games of cat/mouse chase. She eats, sleeps and poops - all normal and per the typical routine. Is something wrong with her? Is it cat asthma? Any insight would be helpful, I am a first time cat owner.
