My cat keeps sneezing. Is it allergies, sick, or should I see a vet?

Question

My cat Carol wont stop sneezing and I was wondering if she could be alergic to something in my house or if she is sick? I don’t have the expenses to take her to the vet because it doesn’t seem like the most urgent thing because she shows no other signs of illness just the constant sneezing.

Unfortunately it’s impossible to say if Carol is sneezing due to allergies, a viral infection or something is stuck in her nostril. You can start her on a cat supplement called Lysine. Carol should take 500mg twice daily. This can help if it is viral. Keep a very close eye on her. Constant sneezing can be the first sign of an upcoming full blown respiratory tract infection. Watch for any nasal or ocular discharge. Watch for lethargy, squinting eyes or not eating well. If you end up needing to go in, there are two companies who may be able to provide financing: Care Credit and Scratch. You can find more information and an application on their websites. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
