Sounds like a urinary tract infection. Barring a medical issue cats will lay in their litter box for security to ease anxiety. It’s an odd place for security but the familiar smell seems to be it.
My cat has asthma and I can say it doesn’t look like your kittys sneeze/cough. It does look more like the nasal cavity is irritated. Hope you get to the bottom of it!
I rescued a momma cat from my workplace and she went on to live a wonderful life in my garage and in my house when I wasn’t home, this went on for 10 years! She never warmed to me but became best friends with my cat. The first I was able to pet her was in her last days when she could not fight...
No she will live regular time don’t worry. I had a cat with stomatitis that lived to 17. This is a dental condition that if you stay on top of is manageable with antibiotics and steroids
You can give Miralax long term. You can sprinkle it on wet food my cat never noticed it. The vet may need to help you with dosage but with my cat it’s the only thing that worked coupled with a high fiber diet
Every state is different but almost all States define pets as property. If a Court finds he owes a duty to you to keep your cat safe he would be liable for vet bills.
Nadiarey my cat started with snorting when eating and she had it in her nasal cavity. Any new symptom as simple as that can be it. It really is scary because it’s difficult to diagnose
He won’t be himself for awhile. My vet explained after this happens they are fearful of going to the bathroom because it’s painful and/or they still remember it was painful. This will effect their eating as well as their demeanor. Usually with the meds is a muscle relaxer that relaxes the...
Budesonide is a long term option with less side effects especially if your cat has a heart murmur. My cat was on it for 4 years due to chronic intestinal issues. You may want to ask your vet about it.
The reason crypto is so dangerous is because it attacks the brain and spinal cord hence the CT scan. Crypto lesions can be found by CT and sampled it is how my cat was diagnosed.
Nadiarey if your kitty has crypto from a skin lesion it won’t show on a blood test a CT scan is the definitive diagnostic tool. Does your kitty have any nasal problems? Rough purring? Or and bumps on the skin?
I had a cat that was semi feral that I took to my vet for a neuter. He apparently bounced around off the walls several times before they caught him and he returned with a limp tail on the last 1/4. like yours vet checked him out no break but probably injured his spine bouncing around. He overly...
Yes I had a near feral cat I adopted scaling the walls at the vets office at his neuter appt. He came back with his tail in the down position. It took about 3-4 weeks for the tail to go to normal. He may have did something to his back bouncing around at the vets office. May just need time to heal.
9 times out of 10 it’s a medical issue so it would not be his fault. Urinary tract infections are the culprit usually. If you rule out medical issues cats will do this due to feeling insecure due to changes in the household or outside.
