Title: Sneezing cats - help
Post by: beckamsimmons on May 09, 2012, 13:59:09 PM
Hi! Not been on here in aggggggggggggges.

Anyway my gorgeous girls bubble and squeak (who I failed to only foster as I adopted them), are sneezing!
They have been in the cattery recently, who i have issues with after this last time so won't be using them again. They both now have runny noses (& eyes) and are sneezing. they sound all snuffly bless them! I have booked the vets tomorrow and they both have up to date vaccinations, I just wondered if anyone had any advice.

Thanks

Rebecca

All mine went down with same symptoms after 1 had been to the vet's luckily it was short lived & only a cold, but did have 2 years ago who were really ill & that was cat flu, vet will put your mind at rest, hope they get better soon. :hug:

Thanks guys, vets tomorrow so we shall see. They are both eating and well apart from the snuffles so hopefully not serious.

The vets said it wasn't serious, probably just a cold they caught from  the cattery. He gave them antibiotic injections anyway and said as long as they're still drinking and have a good appetite then they're okay.
So that was £50 to put my mind at rest! Oh well, best to check these things out!  :shy:
