My Cat with Cat Flu Has a Blocked Nose – What Should I Do?
Nasal congestion in cat flu is usually from secretions. Rinse with a nasal wash, then use an anti-inflammatory nose drop or spray. If severe, seek veterinary nebulization. Keep air flowing and the environment clean.
My hamster has a swollen bump above its nose, sneezes constantly, and breathes through its mouth with a blocked nose.
These signs may follow an untreated respiratory infection causing sinusitis/abscess, or a tumor/foreign object. Take the hamster to a vet promptly.
My 4-month-old cat sneezes and has a blocked nose since coming home — what’s wrong?
Sneezing and nasal congestion in cats are usually caused by respiratory infections, allergies, or viral diseases. Check the environment for irritants or allergens; if allergic, remove the source and give an anti-allergy shot. If the cat is unvaccinated, also consider herpes or calicivirus infection, which is serious and requires prompt veterinary examination and treatment.
Seems like a blocked nose, breathing through the mouth, and a bit of runny nose when waking.
A blocked cat nose is nasal congestion, possibly from a cold, rhinitis, respiratory virus, pneumonia, or a nasal blockage like sinusitis or a tumor. If it lasts, see a vet. For ordinary respiratory disease, use nebulization or anti-inflammatory drugs; viral needs antivirals; a growth may need surgery.

Yesterday I found a cat outside and brought it home; it looks like a pet cat that got out, but it breathes poorly, nose blocked, sneezes like a cold, and has a scabbed injury on the nose. Photos 1–2 are from that night, photo 3 is this morning.
Breathing trouble, blocked nose, sneezing suggest respiratory infection or cat flu. Try doxycycline or amoxicillin-clavulanate and watch; if no clear relief, see a vet. A stray easily catches viruses and needs proper vet care.
Dog keeps making a nose-blocked outward puffing sound, but it seems to come from the throat
The dog likely has nasal congestion, often from a respiratory infection with cough, runny nose, and sneezing needing anti-infection treatment. A blocked nasal passage from a foreign object also causes it and needs clearing. See a vet if unsure.
My dog occasionally suddenly exhales very loudly and snorts, as if its nose or throat is blocked — why?
Loud snorting exhalations may be breathlessness after exercise; for short-nosed breeds like Pugs, French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs, or Pekingese, this is usually harmless — just avoid intense exercise. In hot weather, dogs may pant to dissipate heat, so provide water to prevent heatstroke. If the dog frequently pants after mild excitement or short activity, it may have lung or heart disease and should be examined by a vet.
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.
