Hi, I'm new here but I felt like sharing my experience so maybe it might help someone else. My cat, Tiffany, was sneezing all the time. She was diagnosed with nasal infections that would go away when she was on antibiotics and return right after she went off. However, she doesn't travel well (several long car trips so now she loses control over her digestive system when in a carrier) and it seemed like she suffered less from her runny nose than from the trip to the vet. This went on for over a year.There was kitty snot all over my house, I took her a new vet (we had moved) and they ran $100 worth of tests that turned out all negative...so still no answers. I was convinced it was a food allergy and kept switching foods and buying organics. One food I tried made her better for a couple weeks but it came back.

A few months later my mom, who was having trouble with her dog having terrible allergies and rashes, found a better vet who was able to help him. We also learned that if I held Tiffany and my husband drove she was fine in the car, just not in the carrier. The trip took 30 minutes, but since we knew to hold her she was fine and we decided to see if this vet could help. We finally got a diagnosis, though I was skeptical at the time. He told us she had feline herpes and it had weakened her immune system. The antibiotics in the past didn't work because she needed to be on them longer. He put her on nutritional supplements for her immune system, antibiotics, and gave us a felway diffuser (which I highly recommend) because he said stress made it worse. He also told me that if the infection was too far gone and had gotten into the bone she would never get better. She was a very sick kitty.

Well we had to give her meds twice a day for a month but she got better....and stayed better. She has been well to this day (about 3 months now). We got so excited to see her play. We hadn't see her play in years but now every once in awhile she finds some string on the floor and I have to stop and watch her, so thankful to see her feeling better. I scrubbed my walls, had to replace a few pillows, but my apartment is kitty snot free :D. I am so happy to have my baby girl back and to see that she feels better.
