Neverending Cat Health Issues, Advice Welcome
On Tuesday Ishmael (the new kitten) started sneezing pretty heavily. He sneezes 18 times from 12:30 - 4:00 PM. He also went to the vet Tuesday who ran a shitload of tests and stuff and he's negative for all the bad stuff and was given the vaccine for kennel cough/bordetella.
His eyes are not runny at all, neither is his nose. He's eating like a cow and drinking both water and kitten milk. He's 16 weeks old, 4.2 pounds and fairly robust. He's been a bit less playful since the sneezing started but he still plays a good amount. They say kittens sleep a lot so all is okay in that regard.
Except now Templeton just sneezed 4 times in a row and I'm in a panic.
I know it could be allergies. The window is open for them to get the heat and MSNBC had a story on before about how allergies are at a critical high. My dad had to go to the eye doctor today because his allergies were so bad.
So please. Any cat experts who read this please offer some advice. I can't get them to the vet (if need be) until Tuesday and I don't know enough to discern what's alright and what's a problem sign.
I'm at a loss and in a bit of a panic because of what went down with Catsby. I don't know if I'm missing and crucial signs like we did with Catsby and I don't know if I should be worried. Tempy's sneeze fit could have been a one time thing but I'm paranoid and worried.
Symptom checklist:
Sneezing: 4-5 times in a row, deep sneezes.
Runny eyes: No
Runny nose: No
Loss of appetite: No, eats like a COW.
Loss of thirst: No, drinks a lot.
Lethargy: A tiny bit but not a lot.
Bathroom: Craps like a cow, pees often but not too much.
Coughing/hacking: No
Diarrhea: No
Vomting: No
Please help me, cat experts of the internet. It would really be appreciated, I can't take any more cat health issues...
Thanks.
