You can get the allergy pills online. I think part of it is just being Persian... sigh And, I swear by the Saline and the Little Noses!!!!!!! The boys don't like it.. but, it works and they don't stay ticked for long... washing the face with a warm, warm, cotton wash cloth or the salt and hot water is very good for them.
Also, sitting them in the bathroom and turning the shower on high and leaving them for 5- 10 minutes really helps the stuffy nose!!!!!
The little noses seemed to drastically decrease his snuffling. ANd he didn't mind it too much. He is just a lover so if you're touching him, he's happy, even if you're putting drops up his nose
I wash their faces with a warm cotton wash cloth every night. I tried the saltwater solution that MyJoey suggested but it seemed to irritate PPP's eyes. So for now I just do hot water. It has to be very warm or it doesn't work as well. Plus, I think it is soothing. I think the brachycephalic kitties just have the snorts and eye/nose problems. It's so funny how they are all different. Chunk has boogs and ear gunk. PPP just has dirty eyes. BUT I think it's very important to wash those dirty faces EVERY day, so I'm very diligent about it.
And,... everyone gets cookies afterwards, so it's a win/win. Chunk knows three words: CHUNK, HUNGRY, and COOKIES
sigh....
