Jinxy is about 5 1/2 months old now. He is a Persian and I am aware that Persians may have respiratory problems. Jinxy does not have the pushed in face but he could still have the same make-up inside as the Modern Persian with the pushed in face.
Anyway, when we first got him we noticed it right away. The vet gave him antibiotics, thinking he had a virus. It did not clear up but he seemed fine. We took him back to the vet and she prescribed more antibiotics which did not clear it up either and he still seemed otherwise fine. Also I read that it is probably because he is a Persian.
He has like this nose whistle first of all, plus he makes these little grunting sounds, and a lot of sighing, especially when we pick him up. The sound come from both his nose and belly. It is very funny, but I am wondering if anyone out there can tell me if they have a kitty or Persian kitty with the same type of problem. The vet cannot seem to find anything wrong, although all she did was give him meds and listen to his heart and lungs.
Should I be overly concerned???
