My cat is around 3 years old and for the past year or so she started getting a runny eye (just one of them) and over time a stuffy nose. It wasn’t so bad before, I would just notice that her eye was runny sometimes, but now her nose has gotten so stuffy that she sneezes sometimes to try to clear her nose and sometimes when she breathes it makes a wheezy sound. I know the wheezing sound is coming from her nose and not just when she breathes cause it only happens when her nose is really stuffy. Sometimes she opens her mouth a little to help her breath better. The runny eye hasn’t gotten worse, just happens every now and then.
I know that there is a possibility that she has a upper respiratory infection, but I don’t really think she does. I just think her sinuses are stuffed.
But nevertheless, if you have an educated opinion of what problem she might have, please let me know.
My bf and I have tried to get her to sneeze more to get some boogers out and we also tried a nasal aspirator bulb which yeilded some results but we only tried this just this morning.
I do have plans to take her to the vet, but I just want to see if this is something we could try to remedy at home (instead of paying a big examination fee at the vet’s for them to tell me “oh you can take care of this at home” or something.)
Anyways… thanks.
She is an inside cat.
