Runny nose: what to do if a cat has feline rhinotracheitis (cat flu)?
Cat flu is an upper-respiratory infection from the herpes virus with no specific cure and easy relapse; seek prompt veterinary care. Treatment uses interferon, lysine, and antivirals; clean eye discharge and isolate the cat.
Even after baths and deworming it still scratches often; this has lasted 3 months. I am not sure if it is ringworm; only the chin is a bit red, actually redder and a bit swollen than shown, nothing else.
From the description and photo, no ringworm is seen. Itch has many causes: skin infection, parasite allergy, dry skin, environmental or food allergy. A red, swollen chin is usually black chin (bacterial folliculitis) from oily food or poor cleaning. Use a cone and see a vet for skin checks.
Two-month-old cat vomits about daily, undigested food, energetic, normal appetite, but today barely ate and slept; frequent sneezing thought due to dust, now yellow mucus. Can I buy Miaojinggan and Wangmiaoamo?
Vomiting, sneezing, and yellow mucus mean illness: cold, bacterial respiratory infection, herpes, or calicivirus. See a vet to confirm; a normal cold rarely vomits often and improves in 3-5 days, while viral needs symptomatic and antiviral care and may recur. Boost immunity and nutrition.
