Thank you for reaching out with your concern about your cat's chronic respiratory symptoms. It's understandable to be worried, and I'm here to help.
There are several potential causes for these symptoms in cats. Common issues include allergies, asthma, or upper respiratory infections, which can result from viruses like feline herpesvirus or bacteria. Environmental factors, such as dust or cigarette smoke, might also trigger or exacerbate symptoms.
At home, ensure your cat has a clean and stress-free environment. Using an air purifier can help reduce allergens in the air. Keep your cat in a well-ventilated area and make fresh water readily available. If your cat is comfortable with it, a gentle saline nasal rinse can help clear nasal passages.
It's important to keep an eye on your cat for any signs that the condition might be worsening. Watch for labored breathing, persistent coughing or sneezing, excessive nasal discharge, or a decrease in appetite or energy. If you notice any of these, it's crucial to seek veterinary care promptly.
I recommend booking a video consult with one of our veterinarians on Dial A Vet. They can provide a more tailored assessment of your cat's condition and guide you on the best steps to take.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
