I have a 2 year old female tortie cat that was abandon when a neighbor moved, so I took her in a few months ago. She was small and had diarrhea issues, so I switched her to grain/corn free food and she has gotten better.
However, she has severe sneezing and snot issues that haven't improved. She will sneeze probably every 30 seconds, and her nose is always running and when she sneezes LOTS of snot comes out. The snot is clear though. She has NEVER had a cough and never had any eye issues. Only sneezing.
She has been to the vet and according to them:
- no worms or parasites
- no FIV, no FelV
- they gave her antibiotics for her runny nose and it did nothing, I also hesitate to give antibiotics because of her sensitive stomach.
- suspected feline herpes, suggested lysine, did nothing. (again she never coughs and her eyes have always been great).
Has anyone ever dealt with a cat 'snot cold' or herpes that NEVER improved?
According to my research and my vet, if its herpes she should at least have some "down time" from the symptoms. She is otherwise healthy, eats, drinks, pees, poops normally.
All I do is wipe her nose many, many times a day. She is currently in her own area, separate from my other cats. I wish I could help her!!! Any ideas appreciated.
