My 11 year old cat has been having this issue for almost 3 months now. She has thyroid disease being treated with methimazole but is otherwise healthy. She has been making snoring and whistling noises while breathing, shaking her head, and swallowing with a forward head movement while not eating or drinking. She had blood tests which showed mycoplasma bacteria so was treated with antibiotics for two weeks but it didn't go away. Xrays showed normal lungs. My vet now wants to proceed with a CT scan which he estimates will be $1200 to look for cancer or polyps. I am wondering if there is anything else I can try or just any advice or support about dealing with similar issues. I have already spent $1500 on this issue and will not be able to afford any further treatment if I pay for the CT scan which I can hardly afford as it is.
