Thank you all for the replies! After doing lots and lots of reading I decided to try Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat Respiratory Relief and, so far, I am really pleased with it. Even when I dumped the bag in the litter pan (I used a large cement mixing pan and it's great!) there was NO dust. Just now he was in there digging like a fiend and there was no dust then either. It's expensive but he's worth it : ) I am also thinking about a CatGenie<http://www.catgenie.com>. It would be an expensive experiment though if he wouldn't use it.
When we went to the vet we had a very new veterinarian see us that day. I was concerned that he didn't want to do any testing. I expected they would at least suggest an x-ray or something. This vet's office has a great reputation in our area but that's mostly because of the original vet, who doesn't see as many patients these days. Darwin is doing quite a bit better now but I may make an appointment with this vet specifically if I don't see more improvement soon. I have been giving him Homeopet Nose Relief as well. I don't know if it's what is helping him or not but I figure it can't hurt. Except that he hates it. I can't smell it or taste it but apparently he can! Thanks again for all the help. I've been lurking here for a while, hoping I wouldn't need any advice, but it was so nice to know I had you all to come to if I did.
