Hi all,
Several weeks ago I posted how I was trying NOT to take Sylvester to the vet when he had a lot of clear mucus and was sneezing a lot, but I did talk to them about it and they said try L-Lysine and I also gave him some Transfer Factor Plus (colostrum) but stopped as that seemed to upset his stomach. He is much better but we notice he still at times has a lingering cough, he squats down a bit and will cough, almost like he is trying to throw up a hairball but doesn't, then he will sometimes lick his lips and move his neck forward a bit, but nothing comes out. I have noticed that this happened twice when he ran, once up the steps to greet me and once running from the litter box to see me, he stopped and had a bit of a short coughing spell. I talked to a woman at work who has many cats and she said it either could be lingering from a few weeks ago when he was sick and/or it might be something that he has like chronic asthma or something. He seems fine other than that, sneezes once in awhile but is eating and playing and drinking, and again if he needs to be seen by a vet I will take him but if not I don't want to stress him out, he's only been to them twice in his life, and they usually want to load them up with all kinds of shots and I don't like that, so any advice would be appreciated!
Oh, I also called his previous "owners" who had him inside then put him outside then took him in again and out over and over, but she said that she never saw him like this.
Thank you in advance!
