My kitten arrived 8–9 days ago, sneezes with a little discharge but still eats, drinks, plays, and sleeps; today’s test found calicivirus, mycoplasma, and Bordetella—is he going to be okay?
If a kitten tests positive for calicivirus, mycoplasma, and Bordetella but only sneezes with slight discharge while still eating, drinking, and playing, it is generally not life-threatening. These are common upper-respiratory pathogens—calicivirus can cause runny nose, stomatitis, and conjunctivitis and may be carried for life, while Bordetella can cause cough and breathing trouble. Follow the vet's treatment and give a warm, dry, clean environment with good nutrition.
Had the cat 2 days; this afternoon it started intermittent sneezing and tearing, and keeps purring even while sleeping; energy, eating, and litter are normal; is it a cold from the AC or feline herpesvirus? First-time owner, afraid to delay the vet
Intermittent sneezing, tearing, and purring suggest an upper respiratory infection from virus or bacteria; AC dryness can worsen it. A vet screening is advised despite normal energy.
My cat keeps sneezing, has watery eyes, low energy, and a white membrane at the corner of its eye
The white membrane is usually the normal third eyelid, but ongoing sneezing, tearing, and low energy suggest a cold or upper respiratory infection. Rule out viral causes first.
My newly adopted cat has much eye discharge and unequal eye size
Some eye discharge is normal, but unequal eyes suggest eye or respiratory disease. Causes include infection, herpes or calicivirus, or glaucoma; clean gently and use anti-inflammatory drops, and see a vet if it worsens.

How to Use Medication for Rabbit Health Care
A sound rabbit health program relies on timely medication: anticoccidials in feed for kits, a structured vaccination schedule against VHD, pasteurellosis, Clostridia and Bordetella, routine ivermectin for mange, and antibiotics in hot humid seasons. Consistent prevention is far cheaper than treating outbreaks.

Preventing and Treating Rabbit Bordetellosis
Rabbit bordetellosis, caused by Bordetella bronchiseptica, is a chronic respiratory infection that hits young rabbits hardest, especially in spring and autumn. Keep it out with closed-herd breeding, strict sanitation, and biannual vaccination, and treat outbreaks with isolation and Gram-negative antibiotics.
Tears a lot after every meal or exercise, and lots of eye discharge every day – at least wiped 2-3 times.
Treating tear stains starts with finding why the tearing happens. 1) Unbalanced diet high in oil, salt, and fat - switch to a low-allergy light prescription diet, more water, and vitamins. 2) Congenital blocked nasolacrimal duct - have a hospital test and possibly surgery, though it recurs.
