Hey sorry to hear about bonnies illness but I gotta ask what your vet is trying. I have the same problem with sooper dooper who is 22 years older than Bonnie. Cold symptoms that won’t dissipate. I’ve had her on anti bio tics and an anti viral but she can’t seem to shake the thing. I was chalking it up to her age but now hearing a kitten with similar issues I’m thinking maybe my vet missed something

It took quite a bit of protest on my behalf as I was sick of treating the symptoms rather than the cause.
Once we went to this particular vet hospital they took xrays and ultra sounds as well we had to provide snot samples (sounds gross but no better way to phrase it) which we had to provide later as Bonnie would not snot on command😀
Below is what was prescribed after the snot analysis, nine days of 3 injections a day and another 2 weeks of daily medication. So far it is looking positive with another 10 days of medication to go.

@sxl2004 and @Barking mad thanks guys sooper is at the vet now I’m sitting here waiting for her to come back. They are trying a new antibiotic she said due to soopers advanced age (she just said she can’t believe how old this cat is) we may not be able to fully treat the cold symptoms just try to manage it. Also getting some lab work done which I hope comes out ok because if there is a problem you aren’t going to do much for a 23 year old cat. Bottom line it’s all good. As long as I know I tried everything I can deal with her runny nose although her sneezing on me isn’t that cool. Gotta be honest it’s nerve racking bring a cat this old to the vet as she has basically lived two cat lifes and I’m always afraid the vet will say “we found such and such gotta put her down”. Thus far sooper dooper lives to sneeze another day. Hope I didn’t jinx myself they are doing blood work now. I can’t put up a picture of her now with her runny nose she would be horrified if she knew I did that to her.

Spoiled nut job,

Sooper must like you for putting up with you for 20 some odd years (think you adopted her, right?)

Not sure how she did it. She must like your watch collection. 😉

Tell the vet your friends think there shouldn't be a bill for cats over 20.

Well today’s venture for sooper brought me even more meds to give her. I won’t give you a figure but I definitely spent a good vintage watch on sooper 2 times this year. Something tells me she doesn’t care

Bet he'd knock you on your ass if he ran into you! Pity the fool who gets between him and that ball.

Hope it helps! Neo getting old, he also now need daily pills for his arthritis... 1€/each... He takes 2/3 per day...

But today he was in a jumping mood... We came to visit his uncle and Neo loves his garden, he started running like crazy and then playing with his ball.
