Hey,
When we first got Soleil she brought in the flu bug... took quite a few vet visits to identify it it though - I blame it on the vet...
Soleil was sneezing from day one and the vet just put it off as some allergic reaction to dust.... this went on for some weeks until finally Singa got an eye infection - which the vet also didn't recognize as the flu but rather as some irritation in the eye - caused by dust or something... Of course things got worse.. more sneezing from both cats and a heavy cough on Singa's side...
After several visits and high vet bills they finally diagnosed the flu (Singa's xray showed that she had water around her heart... ) and treated both cats with antibiotics and steroids.
It all got better, but Singa never really recovered. She is still sneezing in between - and we got Soleil in February. It's not bad, but it's still there every now and then. But considering she was always a healthy and strong cat before Soleil came in the house, it really irritates me....
Soleil however is very sick now. She got spayed last Friday and immediately developed a sneezy coughy something the next day. It sounds like a mix of sneezing and coughing and then she looks like she is about to throw up, but nothing happens. I't getting worse everyday. On the phone the vet said it could be because of the tube they put down her throught, but since it is getting worse she wants to see her again. Tomorrow morning I'm taking her there. She really suffers when she sneeze-coughs... and she sneezed about 10 times today - each time sneezing 10-15 times in a row
I really don't know why her immune system seems to be so low... all her blood test were fine.
Could the cats be sensitive to the aircon running all day??? Myself I am diagnosed with some weird fungal infection in my sinuses and need to go for surgery next week. The doc told me to see that the house is free of humidity - which is difficult living in Singapore.. that's why I have decided to kee one aircon on all day (but ony for the last 2 weeks).
