Cat has breathed poorly and coughed with runny nose since coming home; improved shortly after. A few days ago weather changed severely, then it ran a fever (39.8 C rectally). Four days ago it stopped eating and drinking, hid, no stool or urine, and at night vomited pale-yellow watery fluid with a faint fishy smell. Cephalosporin prescribed.
The report alone can't confirm a diagnosis; further PCR for respiratory/coronavirus, ultrasound, X-ray, and bloodwork are advised. With yellow vomit, fever, and breathing trouble, rule out FIP first; coughing suggests upper-respiratory infection.
My three-month-old cat had a severe vaccine allergy before and I don’t plan to vaccinate it anymore, but it has sneezed several times a day since 50 days old, though everything else is fine. When can I bathe it? It’s been half a month since the allergy.
Bathing an unvaccinated, previously allergy-prone cat risks lowered immunity and illness, so vaccinate first if possible by identifying the allergen. Chronic sneezing may signal rhinitis or cat flu; get it checked before bathing.
My kitten is not yet two months old (a few days short); symptoms: slightly red eye sockets and inner membranes, arrived Sept 9, occasional sneezing and cough, normal appetite and spirit, no runny nose, nose sometimes wet sometimes dry, using eye drops and vitamin-soaked water – what are these symptoms, what medicine?
A kitten sneezing and coughing has many causes, possibly a chill and cold, treated with anti-inflammatory and cold medicine plus nebulization if needed. It may also be feline rhinotracheitis (cat flu), which also brings sneezing and cough; take it to a vet for tests and prompt treatment.
Why is my cat dry-heaving and having a runny nose?
Dry heaving, a runny nose, and poor appetite in cats may be symptoms of a respiratory infection caused by bacteria, mycoplasma, chlamydia, or viruses. You can give the cat cold medicine and keep it warm. If tearing and sneezing also appear, consider feline viral rhinotracheitis caused by the herpes virus.
Red, swollen, tearing eyes with discharge, and occasional sneezing; at first one eye would not open, now the other also tears a bit and is slightly red.
Red, swollen, tearing eyes with sneezing strongly suggest feline rhinotracheitis; severe cases need a vet to avoid blindness or death. If home care, use amoxicillin-clavulanate, ampicillin, famciclovir, lysine, and alternating eye drops. Clean eye discharge.
My cat coughs and sneezes at home and seems to have phlegm in its throat; it coughs it up but swallows it back, and its nose seems blocked.
Cough, sneeze, and stuffy nose may be a cold needing antibiotics and cold medicine, possibly with nebulization for phlegm; usually improves in 5-7 days. Feline rhinotracheitis is also possible and needs vet testing plus antiviral drugs and lysine.
My Cat Has Been Sneezing and Has a Runny Nose Lately; at Night Mucus Dries and Blocks the Nose, and Since Last Month One Eye Corner Has Had Reddish-Brown Discharge
'Cold' is a general term for upper respiratory symptoms (sneezing, runny nose, cough, congestion, red eyes or discharge). Rhinotracheitis is a type of cold from herpesvirus. Many causes: calicivirus, chlamydia, mycoplasma, Bordetella, influenza, bronchitis, pneumonia. For severe upper respiratory symptoms, get a vet PCR, DR, fSAA, and blood tests to find cause, then treat.
Why Does My Cat Have Persistent Black Nasal Discharge?
Persistent black nasal discharge may be a secondary sign of ear mites, or from 'internal heat' or feline rhinotracheitis. Check ears for dirt or odor; if none, rule out ear mites. Rhinotracheitis signs: conjunctivitis, eye discharge, sneezing, runny nose; severe: drooling, lethargy, anorexia, fever, cough. Find cause from symptoms; if worsening, vet.
My Cat Has Discharge Near the Nose, Red and Tearful Eyes, Occasional Sneezing, but Is Energetic and Eating Well

Typical signs: conjunctivitis, discharge, sneezing, runny nose; severe: drooling, lethargy, anorexia, fever, cough. No specific drug; use interferon, lysine, antiviral and antibiotics.
