Hey everyone so let me give you a background of my girl Zuki
Zuki is a 12.5 yo female domestic short hair. For as long as I can remember she has always had colds off and on throughout her life.
As of 2 maybe 3 years ago (time blurs) she had polyp removed from her left ear. She was getting a reoccurring ear infection. Since the removal he ears have been fantastic.
Now we get the heart of the real problem.
CONGESTION
This cat is full of snot, sneezing, snot flinging all kinds of yuck. She was diagnosed with feline herpes for our local vet. Let me emphasize on LOCAL. We are currently stationed in a small remote Alaskan town until this summer (thank goodness) so getting 2nd 3rd 4th opinions is not an option, not until we move in May atleast. We have treated her off and on with doxy when this congestion turns into a upper respiratory infection. The vet doesn't think anything is lodged in her nostrils. We are just at a loss as to whats causing the constant congestion.
Also take note where we live we are located in the Tongass National Rainforest. Yes I know crazy! A rainforest in Alaska. But it is. And it rains
all...the...damn...time (Sucks!) So this area is crawling with mold. We had a theory its a mold issue for the longest time. Maybe outside mold?
Well.... 1 week ago we discovered mold under our bathroom flooring. Could this be causing the issue? It seems since we moved to Alaska her nasal issues have been consistent. We intend on discussing this with our landlord when we get back from out of town (as we don't feel comfortable repairmen coming and going when we are out of town)
Any thoughts or experiences please. Its become frustrating and I worry about her age with these issues =(
