Maggie has been sneezing......

[Amber]

And it's been worring me. She has been doing it for awhile. She will sneeze like 3-4 times in a row. Could it be her cat litter? Right now she is on Fresh Step. I dont think it is that dusty? Should I take her to the vet? or if it is not serious, let me know any suggestions. Thanks!!

If she isn't showing other symptoms such as runny eyes, yellowish mucous, lack of appetite, dehydration I would hold off for a day or two. If she pretty much seems her normal self but with a bit of sneezing she might be having a slight allergic reaction to something. Could be the litter. Is this a new brand for you? Or did you just add litter to the box? I always keep some chlor trimaton in the cabinet. The four hour tablets. If they seem allergic to something, meaning they are sneezing but the mucous is real clear and watery then I will give them a half a tablet every 12 hours for a day or two and see if that clears things up.

Keep an eye on her. If she is only doing it after she gets out of the litter box you are probably OK. I agree with Denyce if she is not showing any other sympotoms keep on eye on her and she what happens.

However, it sounds like she has been doing it enough to get your attention. In that case at least call the vet and get there opinion. It doesn't cost anything to call.

Thanks for the advice We just switched her to this new litter. She isnt showing anything, just acting her normal self. I'll keep an eye on her.

Thanks Again
