    So did his weepy eyes resolve on their own? Did he have any other symptoms along with it.

    The first illness was a couple days after I brought him home from the shelter. both his eyes were watering like crazy and he was sneezing like mad, was also coughing rarely. I took him in pretty much right away. They said it’s very normal for shelter cats to get sick, but that he did have a bit of an unusual pathogen causing it (Mycoplasma).

    The second time he had only one watery eye and was sneezing a bit but less so. Also coughing rarely. I tried to do a wait and see with this and was wondering if it was allergies, but it stayed the same for several weeks (no better but no worse), so he got antibiotics and it cleared up again.

    This time he has two weepy eyes, but he actually hasn’t been sneezing much at all. He does cough rarely. I’m still doing a bit of a wait and see with the lysine this time before I bring him in.

      It would go away for a bit and come back. It never went away completely but it would just happen every now and then and have a flare up. He would go through a random week where he would sneeze a bit. But he never coughed or had any other issues. He was about 14 when he passed which isn’t bad for a regular outdoor cat. At the end he got pancreatitis and his organs started to go. We made him as comfortable as possible. The vet may have said it could have been related to his FIV. It let was a while ago now. Everyone in the block loved Ferris, he was a kitty celebrity.
