My cat keeps sneezing a lot but she's eating and drinking like normal. Should I be worried or call Dial A Vet?

My cat has been sneezing quite a bit today, although she's still eating and drinking as usual. Everything else seems normal with her, but the frequency of the sneezes is starting to make me uneasy. Should I be worried, or is this a sign that I should call Dial A Vet for advice?

Answer

It sounds like your cat is experiencing frequent sneezing, which can be concerning. While she is still eating and drinking normally, it's important to monitor any changes in her condition.

  • Frequent sneezing can have various causes, from allergies to infections.
  • Continue to watch for any additional symptoms that may develop.
  • Consult a vet if the sneezing persists or worsens.

Sneezing in cats can be caused by a variety of factors including dust, pollen, or even a mild upper respiratory infection. If it's just occasional sneezing with no other symptoms, it might not be a big concern. However, if your cat continues to sneeze frequently or if new symptoms appear, such as discharge from the nose or eyes, it might be time to consult a vet for a more thorough examination. It’s always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to your pet’s health.
