Is my cat sick?

[ChaosCupid]

CellarDoor has had watery eyes since I got him, and has been sneezing ALOT. He sneezes very nasty globs of snot on the furniture, and I am disgusted and worried to death. Is this breed prone to allergies, or should I take him to the doctor? I'd love some advice.

A vet visit is in order in my opinion--it could be an upper respiratory infection, an allergy, calicivirus, feline herpes, or probably a ton of other things. In the meantime, I would start him on L-lysine.

My lil Yoda is going through this also. I took him to the vet, he started him on antibiotics, but he threw up constantly on them so they advised me to start on L-lysine tablets at 250mg a day. For me this meant 1/2 a tablet a day. I'm taking him back to the vets again on monday for a follow up.
Good luck with your kit

You've been such a source of comfort for us! Thank you again for your advice. I have plenty of Lysine here and will make his appointment in the morning. Better safe than sorry!

Yes, if he is sneezing too, you should bring him to the vet. Let us know how it turns out.
