• After Tigger had his dental cleaning a little while ago he’s been sneezing more than usual, so much that he’s not reverse sneezing. I know he’s just trying to clear his throat or airways of something but it’s consistent and he’s never done this before. He sneezes every so often but now all the time. No discharge from his eyes or nose, I’ve looked inside his mouth nothing seems to be alarming and his nostrils look clear from what I can tell. He didn’t have any extractions or complications just some gingivitis as do most cats. Not sure what could be causing this.

  Hi Valeria,
  I recommend that you take him into see a veterinarian. Coughing or sneezing can be seen after anesthesia due to irritation from the endotracheal tube but that usually resolves within 24-48 hours. With the sneezing going on longer than that it is concerning that there is another underlying cause. These other causes can be from something relatively mild like allergies or a mild upper respiratory infection but there can be other more serious causes like asthma or heart disease. Your vet can talk to you more about the cause of his symptoms and the treatment needed after they have examined him.
