Our 13/14 year old kitty sometimes has inward-sneezing and breathes hard after eating. Could a polyp cause that but only intermittently?
Other info: She is overweight and has been for many years. We feed her only wet foot, and avoid grains. Right now she's eating Instinct original grain-free rabbit. After one hour of difficult breathing she is fine.
It's been about six weeks since the last incident. However, she does breath a bit hard after walking around most of the time. I had attributed that to age and being overweight.
We HAD been feeding her a different grain-free food but decided it was too gloppy and sort of stuck in her throat. Our theory was that she had trouble swallowing just like older humans do.
Years ago she had horrible dizzy spells. She had to have a bulla osteomy of one ear and a myringoty of the other ear. Sorry for the poor spelling. Goop had accumulated in her inner ears! That probably happened because she had herpes, and frequent URIs that the ex-vet said were no big deal.
I look forward to your comments.
