What are the symptoms of feline rhinitis?
Symptoms of feline rhinitis:
1. Acute rhinitis: nasal mucosa becomes flushed, dry, and swollen. Due to itchy mucous membranes, sick cats often scratch their noses with their front paws, shake their heads and retreat, sneeze frequently, and cough slightly. Exfoliation of the skin around the nostrils may occur. When the nostrils are blocked by excrement or scabs, shortness of breath occurs and mouth breathing occurs. Often accompanied by conjunctivitis, blindness and tearing may be seen. Tonsillitis and pharyngitis are also often associated.
2. Chronic rhinitis: It will be accompanied by frequent runny nose, but the flow is small, and the runny nose is mainly purulent mucus. If the inflammation of the cat's nose spreads to the sinuses, this will affect the tissue structure inside the cat's nose, causing blood streaks to appear in the nasal mucus, and may also smell a particularly bad smell. Chronic rhinitis can easily cause cats to suffocate or be complicated by some brain diseases, which should be taken seriously.
Causes of feline rhinitis:
1. Due to cold stimulation, rough nasal examination, nasal administration of drugs, damage to the nasal mucosa, inhalation of dust, smoke, and plants Fibers, insects, pollen and fungal spores cause direct nasal mucosal irritation.
2. Caused by infections such as certain viruses and parasites.
3. It is secondary to the spread of certain infectious diseases or diseases of adjacent organs.
