Hi. Iv been trying to get what ever advice i can about my 12 male that has started reverse sneezing and normal sneezing.
He has had this problem for the last 6 months or so. He has been reverse sneezing regularly, maybe once or twice a day. And seems to have a semi blocked nose.
The reverse sneezing is similar to what the cat in this video does
I have taken him to the vet a number of times now for the problem but it still remains. The vets prescribed antibiotics which worked instantly and stopped the sneezing however after a month or so it comes back. She doesn't want to give him more antibiotics as he has already had three courses and even though it's working temporarily it hasn't cured the problem long term.
He has had a nasal flush and skull xrays which were normal and had no signs of blockage or foreign bodies. He has also had tests done on some nasal discharge that came back negative although im not certain what they tested for.
Iv been giving him lysine twice a day with no apparent results.
I can't be certain but im fairly sure his vaccines were all up to date as he see's the vet fairly regularly for check ups etc.
So i am just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what might be going on? My thoughts are it must be some sort of infection as antibiotics work instantly but if so why is it coming back?
At the moment i am waiting for a specialist to contact me that the vet has set up but i really would like to get as much input as possible.
It's really hard watching him have these issues and not being able to help him.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
