Yes catspaw I did read Every post... did you read mine? I said I had got this site from a friend after going to 3 different vets. I also said I hope my cats have the same happy ending .
Simona, I was late to comment as well, but it is sooo helpful to hear others have similar stories. My Sam lost his voice completely too just like your Bailey. His eyes were also both so runny and his nose was running. Perhaps yours got it in the vet's office? I definitely feel these cats must be getting a virus of sorts. Did Bailey's hair go back to black?Hi! I am very late to this thread but it’s the only place I have found answers!! This happened to my boy Bailey, 5 year old Siamese, took him to get vaccines and after the upper respiratory distemper shot he got sick. Coughing, sneezing, lost his meow entirely, and a crazy bad eye infection to the point where he lost his eye hair and now it’s grey! So assuming this means he was FVRCP(?) positive prior to the vaccination which is what made him sick? Sounds like there is a chance that his hair color returns to normal. The vet says they have NEVER heard of a vaccine making a cat sick like this… but the timing was so just perfect it couldn’t be anything else I don’t think.
Here is an article about what can cause this in meezers, my Quinn is a seal-point meezer. He has never had this happen.I know this is a pretty old thread but the same thing has recently happened to my 2-year-old Siamese. He was sick and was sneezing a lot and we had an appointment to take him to the veterinarian but he started getting better and wasn't sneezing nearly as much so we canceled the appointment to save money. He is still sneezing once or twice a day but that's it. Anyway, the fur on his face has got a speckled white appearance similar to other pictures posted in this thread. It has me really concerned. He also has a slight white spot on his back adjacent to his tail. I'm really hoping it's not a permanent change. He seems to have caught a virus from Tigger, a Domestic Short Hair cat that we just adopted a month ago. I'm guessing what's going on is a fever coat but I don't know for sure. I want to take him to the veterinarian and get him checked out but we don't really have the money to do so at this time. He's no longer sick like he was so it's not a necessity to take him. He just has the color change in his coat.
