Re: reggies sneezing like crazy


Are you possitive that it is an allergy BM? Has he always sneezed? Not sure what the vet would prescribe but it's worth popping him along to find out...Let us know how it goes

Re: reggies sneezing like crazy


IF it is an allergy (as opposed to a cold), also consider herbal remedies. There are several good ones on the internet that will mail order stuff to you if you need it.

But best get a diagnosis first.

Just a thought BM, it couldn't be connected with the new scratching post you recently got them, could it? You mentioned that they were sniffing all over it........

Re: reggies sneezing like crazy


Is it a sisal one (like the hairy carpet type)?? It could be that the coarse tufts are annoying his sensitive nose.

It could still be a cold that has now lead to Rhinitis BM. Porsha has exactly this but all my other cats' immunity are so good that they haven't caught it..
