Has anyone had any issues with the sphynx sneezing -reverse sneezing and coughing .
She has been doing this since I had her ,she was doing this before I got her.
She has been in and out of the vets and still doing it

Has been eye swabbed for cat flu but came back negative
Been on many diff medication but still hasn’t stopped
I’m at my wits end :(

Have three other sphynx ans have never had this issue

@debbie morgan. hugs n head smooches, what medications? my 1 out of 4 had reverse sneezing.
I took a video to show the vet bcz of course they never do it at the vet.

what was the diagnosis? ( for my Toby it was seasonal allergies. vet gave dosage of chlortab based on his weight.)

has vet suggested a respiratory PCR test?

I have one with a reverse sneeze. He is positive for calicivirus. That doesn't mean that a reverse sneeze means it's a virus; I don't know why some cats have a reverse sneeze. It just so happens that mine - because he has a virus - sneezes a lot, and a lot of the time it's in reverse. Anyway, if your sphynx tested negative for viruses then your vet really owes you another explanation. Be aware that viruses are common in catteries and our sphynxes are all born in catteries.
