Eppie Has Congested Breathing

[ShereKhanDickon]

Eppie is a year old now. We have made two trips to the veterinarian, but she always breathes as if she has a deep cold or hay fever. We treated her with antibiotics and then steroids. She runs and plays with good energy.

Her "congestion" is most evident when she is sniffing something. Of course, that is quite often. Cats learn about the world around them by taking in the scents.

It bothers me more than it bothers her. Were this a toddler, we would have her use a tissue.

She sometimes has sore ears. I treat her for mites.

Thoughts?

Could be allergies. Have you tried an antihistamine?

That would have been my thought as well, allergies. My girl (and I) take Claritin. She only needs it in Spring and Summer, whereas I take it year around.
