Hi All!
I've posted in the past about my 9(ish) year old tortie named Otter. I rescued her about two years ago as an adult, so I'm not sure exactly how old she is. I'm reaching out to see if anyone has ever experienced something similar with their cats. Otter has recently (probably within the last month) started having sneezing fits (5 or so sneezes consecutively). Otter also has lost her meow twice in the last few months. It's almost like she gets a raspy meow- like laryngitis in humans. She has been prescribed steroids for this and it quickly clears up. However, she is still having sneezing fits and I don't know what it could be. She has no other symptoms and eats normally and plays with her little brother regularly (an orange tabby, about six months old). They have both been tested for FELV/FIV and are negative.
Has anyone experienced this before? Could it be food allergies? Environmental? Can cats be allergic to other cats?
Thanks for all your insight!!!
