My cat has been sneezing a lot, like multiple times everyday. Her appetite and behavior have not changed but it just seems like a lot. Is this allergies or could it be something more?

Hello, thank you for your question about Nxly. Sneezing can have various underlying causes in cats. Allergies are a possibility and can be caused by pollens/particles in the environment or possibly perfumes, etc. Other common causes of sneezing include upper respiratory infections, tooth problems (the roots of their teeth are located near the nasal cavity), etc. Since Nxly is otherwise acting ok I would recommend continuing to monitor her. If the sneezing gets worse or you notice colored nasal discharge, lethargy, or decreased appetite I would recommend having her evaluated by a veterinarian. Hope this helps!
