Your cat's swollen eyes and frequent sneezing could indicate an allergy, but it might also be a sign of something more serious. Monitoring her symptoms and any changes in behavior is important.
- Swollen eyes and sneezing are common allergy symptoms in cats.
- Recent changes, like the presence of guests, could trigger allergies.
- If symptoms persist or worsen, a vet consultation is recommended.
Cats can develop allergies to various things, including pollen, dust, or certain foods. Given the recent visit from guests, it's possible your cat was exposed to something triggering her symptoms. If she's showing no other symptoms, it might be an allergy. However, if her condition does not improve or if you notice other symptoms like loss of appetite or lethargy, it may be wise to seek professional veterinary advice.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
