My cat sneezes seasonally for days while grooming. Is it normal?

It could be normal for her since often times when they groom they are getting allergens off their fur. If she does not have discharge from her nose and she is only doing it when grooming, I would just monitor it. However, if you are noticing discharge, or it becomes more frequent, I would take Love Bug to see her veterinarian as it could be allergies or and upper respiratory infection. Hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Sneezing in cats is often a sign of airways irritation (from dust, floor cleaners, pollen etc) or upper airways infection. If Ballball acts perfectly normal, has good appetite and high energy level I would not worry about sneezing. However, if the sneezing is getting more frequent or Ballball develops discharge from the nose or eyes, a visit at your local vets will be recommended.

Hi, you can keep an eye on her and if she stops eating or sneezing gets worse, or should start coughing then have her checked over. She could have had cat flu as a kitten and just develop it in a milder form in certain periods of her life or could be unrelated to something infectious. Hope this helps !

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Oreo. While seasonal allergies can cause sneezing, a respiratory tract infection is more likely in my experience. I am glad that she is acting normal otherwise. If her sneezing persists though, she will need to see her veterinarian. She may require an antibiotic. There is no need to keep her separate from your other cats. If she is contagious, she has already exposed them. Monitor them for any similar signs. I hope this information helps!

It could be just mild nasal irritation. It coukd also be due to environmental factors like dust. Rarely we can see certain slow rising disease of cats such as nasal tumors. However we usually see discharge like mucus or blood. If you ever see a discharge, your cats attitude changes or the sneezing increases in its frequency I would consider having your veterinarian do an exam.

It's not normal for a cat to sneeze a lot, and this sneezing could be caused by allergies or a respiratory infection. I would have your kitty seen by a vet in the morning if the sneezing continues. The vet can diagnose what is causing the sneezing and what treatment may be best for her symptoms.

This may be just an upper respiratory infection which can be viral and last a good two weeks. If B isn't eating or isn't acting right then I would recommend going back to the veterinarian. When you shower you can take him in the bathroom and have the steam help with the congestion. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
