There are hard spots behind the neck and under the hips, and the nose keeps sneezing.
From the photo, the cat may have a respiratory infection and ringworm. Eye/nose discharge suggests a cold or feline rhinotracheitis; the crusts and dandruff on the neck suggest ringworm. Kittens have weak immunity. Use antifungal cream for ringworm; see a vet for the respiratory signs, and if it's rhinotracheitis, add lysine.
My cat has watery eyes and is sneezing
A cat cold usually comes with sneezing, a runny nose, coughing, sleepiness, and reduced appetite, so watery eyes and sneezing may be caused by a cold. But feline rhinotracheitis (cat flu) and pneumonia can also cause these symptoms, so those causes should also be considered. The owner should judge the likelihood of a cold from the cat's symptoms and the surrounding environment; if the temperature is low, a cold is fairly likely. In this case, you can give the cat pet-specific broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory medicine and observe for a while, while keeping it warm. If the cat's symptoms don't improve, take it to a vet promptly for appropriate treatment based on the examination.
Please help — home for two days, lots of eye discharge, constant tearing, not eating (only occasional water), hiding, won’t let me touch or wipe, sneezing, normally purrs
From the symptoms this is likely a respiratory disease, possibly feline rhinotracheitis. Get a vet exam and targeted treatment. A common cold needs cat cold medicine plus warmth; a viral disease needs antiviral and symptomatic care.
My cat sneezes frequently with no other symptoms, and the nasal discharge is clear
Frequent sneezing and clear nasal discharge in cats may be caused by external irritation, a respiratory infection, or a viral infection. If there are strong odors in the cat's environment, they can trigger constant sneezing; in that case, move the cat away from the area or remove the allergenic smells to stop the ongoing irritation. In addition, a respiratory infection, feline rhinotracheitis (cat flu), or calicivirus can also cause these symptoms. If external irritation is ruled out, take the cat to a vet for examination and treatment promptly.
Why is a cat panting?
Cat panting can come from respiratory disease, cold, rhinitis, bronchitis, or cardiopulmonary disease. For example, feline rhinotracheitis virus causes panting, cough, runny nose, and rapid breathing, even fainting. If it persists, take the cat to a vet for targeted treatment.
What if a male cat is not neutered?
An unneutered male cat faces physical and behavioral issues: frequent heat raises hormone-related disease risk like prostatitis and testicular cancer. It may escape and mate, increasing strays and catching panleukopenia or rhinotracheitis. Heat causes spraying, yowling, and irritability, affecting the owner's life.
My cat has had a cold for half a month.
Do not give 999 cold medicine; it contains acetaminophen and caffeine that poison cats, even fatal in overdose. Use pet cold medicine, such as amoxicillin-clavulanate, Pu'ante Shuanghuanglian, or doxycycline. If no improvement, check for rhinotracheitis, mycoplasma, calicivirus, or pneumonia.
I bought some medicine; will it work?
From the photo, one product is a human drug and not advised for cats. Doxycycline hydrochloride treats mycoplasma; do not use medicine blindly before the cause is known. Tearing and sneezing can stem from respiratory infection, allergy, or rhinotracheitis, each needing different treatment. See a vet.
My cat’s eye is sealed shut with pus, very red, wet nose, intermittent sneezing
These signs strongly suggest feline rhinotracheitis (cat flu). Get a PCR test at the vet to confirm; unvaccinated cats are at higher risk.
My cat has been sleeping since yesterday, vomited yellow fluid, and now drools
Vomiting, anorexia, rapid breathing, tongue out, and drooling point to feline rhinotracheitis or poisoning. If poisoning is suspected, go to a vet at once; the case is serious.
