TLDR: 9 year old female cat had the flu for some time, got antibiotics at the vet's, the flu went away. Three weeks after stopping the antibiotics, her flu seems to be back.
Hey again, I posted here ~ 1 month ago about my cats flu, the post is pretty strongly related so will link it here:Cat acting weird after starting antibiotics, should I worry?
After that post she was completely healed and fine, and I was so thankful. However, about a week ago her nose started getting stuffy again. She's eating and energetic, but gets mad at our younger cat very easily. She acts like she might have some kind of slime in her throat, swallowing loudly and licking her lips. Her other eye has also been leaking some clear fluid, mostly when we have been outside on a leash or when the window is open, so I think it might be some type of allergy: she had similar problems last spring.
I'm just kind of at a lost. It definitely seemed to be some kind of infection since the antibiotics helped, but why did it come back? Our other cats have been completely healthy all along, but could one of them carry some disease without any symptoms? I don't think it's astma or just allergy because the antibiotics clearly helped.
Any ideas what could be causing this? Should we take her to the vet alone or try to get our other two cats there as well, if one of them is carrying it? I'm at a loss.
