snorting fits
Roxy is having occasional snorting fits (every few days). She is also
occasionally doing the classic Looney Tunes snoring routine. She has always been a snorer, but once in a while she snorts in and then out so hard her lips flap in the breeze she makes. This and the snorting fits will go on for a few minutes and then cease. Could this be a sign of a problem--perhaps something stuck up her nose? Is it time to see the vet about this? Or, if it was a problem, would it happen with more regularity? As an aside, my husband's snoring used to bug the **** out of me, but I find hers cute and soothing as I am drifting off to sleep. -- Lynne http://picasaweb.google.com/what.the.hell.is.it/ |

It sounds like that could be what's going on, but there's no way to know without witnessing it, or of knowing whether or not it's a problem. http://www.vetinfo.com/drevsnz.html -- Shelly (Warning: see label for details) http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |

It sounds like that could be what's going on, but there's no way to know without witnessing it, or of knowing whether or not it's a problem. http://www.vetinfo.com/drevsnz.html I'm not sure at all what is going on. I think it could be reverse sneezing. It's happening regularly, but not frequently, and that kind of fits, but she doesn't seem to be struggling to breathe, so I dunno. What I really want to understand is if there is the possibility she has something lodged up her nose or a polyp or something based on these symptoms. -- Lynne http://picasaweb.google.com/what.the.hell.is.it/ |

Which is, I'm assuming, why you didn't get any answers to your original post. -- Shelly (Warning: see label for details) http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |

I know I've seen it discussed before. And yes, a trip to the vet is in order. I just have to wait until my kid with mono is well enough for me to leave her side. Oddly enough, the snorting hasn't happened in 2 days, so it's hard to believe there could be anything lodged up there. I certainly couldn't tell by trying to peek with a flashlight, though I do recommend you should try that with Harriet just for fun. I've never seen Roxy look more appalled. -- Lynne http://picasaweb.google.com/what.the.hell.is.it/ |

It could be that she had a hair or something like that tickling the back of her throat. Or it could be something in the environment that is only affecting her sporadically. Or it could be a hat, or a brooch, or a pterodactyl... I certainly couldn't tell by trying to peek with a flashlight, though I do recommend you should try that with Harriet just for fun. I've never seen Roxy look more appalled. Don't worry, I shall be doing so as soon as I get home! I'm guessing I'll get the "disdainful" look from her, though. There are times when Miss Brown is No Fun. -- Shelly (Warning: see label for details) http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |

Traveling and visiting wore her out, and she did nothing but sleep after we got home. -- Shelly (Warning: see label for details) http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |
