My cat breathes through its mouth while sleeping, sometimes coughs repeatedly like something is stuck, is lethargic, has poor appetite, sleeps constantly, and has soft diarrhea.
Mouth breathing with cough, diarrhea, and low appetite may signal panleukopenia, acute enteritis, FIP, or rhinotracheitis; mouth breathing means a blocked nose or cardiopulmonary issue. Screen for infectious disease if unvaccinated; if vaccinated, try symptomatic meds.
No eating or drinking, no vomiting or diarrhea, very sleepy since yesterday afternoon. Dark brown discharge around the nose and a little at the eye corners.
Not eating, lethargy, and increased eye/nose discharge resemble respiratory infection or feline rhinotracheitis. A PCR test at the vet is needed; late-stage rhinotracheitis can block the gut and be life-threatening.
Why Does a Cat Get Bronchitis?
Causes include cold, mechanical/chemical irritation and secondary inflammation; pathogens are Pasteurella, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, rhinotracheitis virus, Mycoplasma. Cough is typical; see a vet if it persists.
The eye was a bit inflamed before; eye drops didn’t help, and it would occasionally turn out a little, but this time it turned out completely
From the photo, the cat may have conjunctival edema or hyperplasia needing vet care, likely with fluids and anti-inflammation. Causes include irritants, trauma, conjunctivitis, or cat flu; treat the root cause or risk corneal ulcer or blindness.
Kitten under 2 months, just home today, lots of eye discharge, very clingy, wet nose, no runny nose.
Much discharge and half-closed eyes with a wet nose suggest blocked nasolacrimal duct, rhinotracheitis, eye worms, or eye inflammation. Short-nosed cats get blockages needing surgery; rhinotracheitis has more signs; worms need deworming; inflammation uses eye drops.
What should I do if my cat sneezes and has eye discharge?
Sneezing and eye discharge may be irritation, cold, or feline rhinotracheitis. Keep the environment dust-free; for a chill, warm it and give cold medicine. Don't rule out rhinotracheitis; if no relief, see a vet.
Small bald patch, ear mites, eye swollen with discharge
FIP has wet and dry forms; wet shows breathing trouble, thinness, big belly, and in males swollen scrotum; dry shows fever, thinness, cloudy eyes, abdominal granulation. Your cat's hair loss and eye discharge do not fit FIP, so it likely does not have it. The signs more suggest fungal infection or feline rhinotracheitis; see a vet.
My cat coughs once or twice and sneezes a few times daily, no eye discharge; what medicine?
From your description, a coughing cat with phlegm, nasal congestion, and sneezing suggests a respiratory infection, but feline herpes or calicivirus cannot be ruled out. Screen at a vet and treat by cause. If a visit is hard, give oral respiratory medicine at home and watch for improvement; if none, see a vet.
Why Is My Cat’s Eye Discharge Green?
Normal cat eye discharge is white or clear; greenish-yellow usually means internal heat, an eye infection, or feline rhinotracheitis (cat flu). Adjust the diet first, then see a vet if it persists or comes with sneezing, fever, or corneal signs.
My cat lost appetite (won’t even eat favorite treats), eyes watery and barely open, sleeps all day
Poor appetite and tearing may mean an eye problem—infection, allergy, or injury. Check for trauma; if none, consider infection or inflammation. Irritating smells in the environment may also cause it. Feline rhinotracheitis is possible; if it persists, see a vet soon.
