Walley
 

Hi,

My 13 year old cat Walley has been sneezing a lot and not keeping things down. He sees the vet Thursday at 1:30 pm. I hope my kitty is not to sick. He was the first cat I got myself from the shelter when he was 2 years old. He is one of my favorite cats I have ever had. he is an orange tabby. Will keep you all updated after he sees the vet.

Hi Kate! I hope your kitty is OK, too. It's good that he's seeing the vet, though. Please let us know how the appointment goes and what the vet says. I have an orange tabby, too. His name is Tigger and he's the baby of the family! So spoiled! He's great company and I can't imagine life without him.

Our cats sneeze alot when we give them dried catnip.

Also cats can have hayfever too... our middle kitty has allergies
and even reacts to vaccines. So we can no longer get even rabies for her.

But one cause of sneezing in older cats is tooth/gum infection.
So you are doing the right thing getting your kitty to the vet!

Let us know what the verdict is....

It could also be a virus. My elder cat doesn't do well unless she has Viralys every day. She's 18 yrs old.

I hope your baby gets well soon.

Hello
 

Thanks Kitty, mrsD and Doody for you kind words. Walley saw the vet and he has a cold. Need to give him medicine for a week ounce a day. If not better in 2 weeks he has to go to back to the vet. Thanks for responding to my post. I also have 3 other cats and 2 gold fish. I cannot imagine life wihtout my babies.
hugs:hug::hug::hug::hug:

Hi All,

I just wanted to let all of you know Walley is feeling much better with his medications he is on. :hug::hug::hug:

Thanks,

Kate

((Kate)) that's great news. Thanks for letting us know.

Hi All,

Just wanted to give you an update on Walley. He is sick again and see the vet this Friday. Will let you know what vet says.:hug::hug:

Kate

Sorry to hear Walley isn't well again. Will be thinking of you both.

take care

My prayers are with Wallley. All cats are wonderful but tabbies rule!

Oh no, poor baby! I'm sorry.

Say, I know this will sound crazy, but have you seen Vowel Lady's post about her doggy? I know I will sound like my vet, LOL, but has your vet checked Walley's a n a l sacs for any infection or impaction? Sometimes when my cats have been sick, they had infections in those sacs and they needed to be cleaned out.

Also, you may want to ask the vet about Viralys. My elder cat has feline herpes virus. I can stop giving her the Viralys for a short while before the symptoms kick back in. It really helps her. A friend of mine uses the Viralys gel. I think I'm going to try that instead of the powder.

A little about the virus and Viralys.

You can even get Viralys at places like Amazon.

Just a thought.

I hope it isn't anything serious!

You must take such good care of your kitty! Thirteen is getting on up there but I have several friends with cats in their early twenties. Keep up the good care!

Hi All,

Thanks for all the nice messages. Walley will be on a pill for the next 30 days. My husband and I are having a hard time giving him this pill as it is big. If this pill does not help Walley goes back to the vet and the vet will try steriods for his problem.:grouphug:

Thanks,

Kate

I hope these pills help sweet Walley. I'm giving Bruna pills 2x/day for 40 days. :eek: Luckily, I discovered if I put a little butter on a spoon and put the pill in it, she laps it in one scoop. Wonder if peanut butter would work better.

Our former dog however was awful to pill. She'd manage to spit it out every time!

Good luck and let us know how it goes! :hug:
