Not the inverted sneeze but like he was not able to breath mucus from nose and mouth he was not good shaking etc. he has had this before but in a mild manner and spread out over the course of a year not to this degree. Conclusion is that vet said he is overweight which he does have a little belly and I know he's "supposed "to weigh around 5lbs. Also that his lipids in his pancreas were 79 above the Hlevel at 1879. Ran the pancreatitis test and he does not have it. Now he's on some steroid to assist him from the allergie issue which was a combination of his weight and the structure of his asophogus. Which was also fine. Jack has a larger then normal liver I guess. And he also wants to run tests to make sure inside his liver is ok. The stumper is that my wife and I just adopted a cat I'm not sure what breed it is it just has the tabby pattern short hair. He's only 8.5 weeks old. Is this coincidence because he's had these little episodes before. Did this kitten ignite!?? And make worse. This dog is my world and I cannot stand to see him like this weezing slightly, depressed. |
We had an overweight cat once. Losing the weight cured a lot of issues.
Definitely help Jack lose the weight. Smaller amount of food spread out over the day. Keep him away from the kitty food and the kitty out of Jack's food! Exercise. There is lots of good info in different threads on allergies - it's a tough thing to sort out. I would recommend reading a lot of those posts and working with your vet to sort out while Jack is correcting his weight. One thing to consider - if the cat goes outside, it might be what the cat brings in on his fur and not the cat itself. We know that from people experience. Hope Jack gets well soon!
