First off, Momo does not have an infection. She has seen two vets now and is clear. The problem is that she and her sister were not treated for a respiratory infection for months (their first home wasn't the best) and they have some permanent damage to their lungs. You can hardly tell with Eos, but Mo gets wheezy and sneezes a lot after a lot of activity. I understand she's not sick, but it still worries me. I was wondering if there's anything I can do to our environment to make her more comfortable. She's very active and playful and getting winded so easily is frustrating for her. Or is that just a sad fact of her life?
 
What has worked for a lot of people is
-Getting an air filter to get rid of any extra irritants in the air
- Not spraying any aerosols, or using any of the plug-in home scenters
- You could also try putting on a humidifier, or letting them spend some time in a bathroom with hot water running(for the steam)
- Of course, not using ANY dusty bedding, and changing all bedding very frequently- the ammonia builds up and irritates the breathing passages
You could also try taking her to another vet and treating again, or just for the lung damage.
