Sneezing lots

[ellenlouise]

Neo my new kitten seems to be sneezing a lot. Is there a reason for this? should I be woried?

Ellen

[smudgley]

Oh no. :(

Well yes you have reason for concern. When you say a lot,

how often / how many times?
any nasal discharge?
any eye discharge?
redness of the eyes?
swollen conjunctiva?

Oli kept sneezing when I first got him and his eyes were all runny. I took him to the vets to have confirmed that he had cat flu.

I suggest if you have any concerns, you take your new kitten to the vets right away.

I noticed Oli's symptoms the day after I got him, so took him to the vet right away. He was checked over by the vet and was given a jab. I was also told to keep him warm and indoors.

He is now fine, although some days his one eye goes a bit gunky.

Goodluck with the new kitty. x

[Fran]

Yes, I'd be concerned. As Smudgley has indicated are there any other symptoms?

[ellenlouise]

No eyes arent runny

no nasal discharge

eyes arent red

he will do it every now and again since i have been home about once but when he does sneeze he snezzes about four times in a row. he went to vets only tuesday and she said he was fine. Just seeing what you guys think

[Fran]

What cat litter do you use?? and what did the breeder use? Is there a chance that the litter you use is a lot more dusty? Just plucking at straws....

[ellenlouise]

We use catscan she has some wood based stuff like mini cylinders.

[Fran]

Is Catsan a relatively dusty litter? Just a thought but I know my Meezers are very sensitive with dusty litter. I use a recyled newspaper pelleted litter, absolutely no dust at all and no sneezy cats :cool:

[ellenlouise]

erm not really no. erm i am not sure now any puppies fran?

[Fran]

No puppies yet :roll: :-D

[ellenlouise]

Gosh... Well I think I may take him to vets tommorow just incase. Ive just thought I have the free recycled newspaper stuff as well as catscan in the litter at the moment because came free with kitten pack from vets

[dinahsmum]

It will be best to get him checked. He will be OK even if it is flu

[Kay]

Catsan is quite a dusty litter so I would try something else like the newspaper or wood based. A check up at the vets would be sensible. I have to say though that my Angel sneezes every morning about four or five times in a row and has done all her life, she is now 6. There is nothing medically wrong with her as she was taken to the vets and checked out.

[ellenlouise]

Thankyou Kay

He is going to vets today for his vaccination but his sneezing is less and less as he gets bigger so we havent been to worried. Will mention to vet though thanks again.

[Kay]

No problem. Hope all goes well at the vets.

[ellenlouise]

Hiya. All clear at the vets so must have been litter or maybe even my plug in.

[Fran]
