Hello everyone!! My 7 yo American Shorthair female has been with me for almost a year now and she’s only once coughed a few months ago. Friday, she coughed/sneezed (not sure!) 2 or 3 times. She’s been having a lot of trouble with allergies so I chalked it up to that! But, Friday I brought her to her vet to get a steroid shot to help with her extreme allergies. Then Saturday, she did it maybe 4-5 times. I wasn’t home most of the day but my sister kept an eye on her because I was worried. Sunday, same thing, I wasn’t home a lot of the day but my sister watched her and it seemed like she was doing it more. Yesterday, I was home all day and she seemed to be doing it even more. I emailed her AMAZING and caring vet with a video of it and she said since she couldn’t really see it, she can’t say for sure but that it sounded like a sneeze, not coughing which is very good news. She said she would be in the office Wednesday and would write her antibiotics for an infection/cold. Then this (Tuesday) morning, she woke me up doing it at 6am and 630am and again when we got up around 10. We played outside for a few hours and she hasn’t done it at all so I thought maybe she had a cold and was feeling better. Then just starting about 40 minutes ago, she is now having little sneezing/coughing fits. It started as one/MAYBE two and then that was it. But tonight, out of nowhere, it became pretty constant.
She got the steroid shot so her vet said it really can’t be allergies or asthma. She is an avid hunter so lung or heart worm is a possibility, maybe a cold/infection, or just a hair ball. Please someone help me to figure this out! I am a nervous wreck!!!!
I posted two videos of her doing it. The first one, in my bedroom, is from tonight - Tuesday night. The other one, in the garage, is from Monday afternoon and you can’t see her because she moved, but you can very clearly hear it.
Advice anyone please!! This is a pic of my baby sleeping. She’s my angel. I seriously cannot lose her. Someone please help me
