 My little cat is a Flu carrier (FHV) and was initially very poorly. She&amp;#39;s fine now except she suffers badly with chronic rhinitis and sinusitis. She&amp;#39;s on daily Bisolvon and Metacam and has various antibiotics as she gets frequent infections</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>RE: Post viral chronic rhinitis</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/160947?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 04 Aug 2015 15:29:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:8011fcd1-d6aa-44dd-9450-6929701d327c</guid><dc:creator>JaneRVN</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Bless. At least she has a nose to put in the Aerokat. Ours is a Persian so it basically fitted her whole head!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;we used it for about 2 years and then found she to,erased it less. But since then the snuffles are few and far between so haven&amp;#39;t felt the need to push her back to using it. We&amp;#39;ve kept it in case we need it but I think the disease changes over time as after a while we started on the eye uLcers as an issue rather than snuffles. We&amp;#39;ve since removed her right eye as it was the worst affected by far. In 2 years the other eye has only had 1 small ulcer problem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i gave up on lysine as at the time the tablets were huge and bitter tasting, there are now cat chews so don&amp;#39;t know if they are an option or if they make a difference?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Post viral chronic rhinitis</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/160935?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 03 Aug 2015 21:31:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:3907b501-a2a6-46a2-9d86-696b40f43736</guid><dc:creator>AlexandraC</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks Jane. Yes, I&amp;#39;ve just started her back on it as she also has asthma (typical Siamese). I&amp;#39;m going to put her back on anti-virals as well to see if they help. Poor little snuffler! &lt;img src="/emoticons/new/Ashamed_smiley.png" alt="Embarrassed" /&gt; How long/often did you use it for? Thanks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Post viral chronic rhinitis</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/160932?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 03 Aug 2015 18:47:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:72edac68-bc8d-49c3-93b2-80163daf5dd3</guid><dc:creator>JaneRVN</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Have you considered an Aerokat with a steroid inhaler? I used to use one for my chronic rhinitis cat. Really helped her symptoms and she took to it quite easily.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
