How to Treat Feline Rhinitis
Feline rhinitis follows injury or infection of the nasal lining and often turns bacterial; acute cases sneeze, rub the nose, and stream serous-to-mucoid (sometimes bloody) discharge with noisy breathing, while chronic cases drip on and crust, with a foul smell, and can lead to sinusitis or nasal tumors. Treatment flushes the nose, applies local antibiotics or decongestant drops, and tackles the underlying infection — bacterial, fungal, or allergic.
Feline Stomatitis: The Complete Guide
Feline stomatitis is a painful, relapsing inflammation of the whole mouth — gums, oral mucosa, and pharynx — driven by an over-active immune response to plaque and viruses like calicivirus.

Owners can first observe whether the dog's urination and defecation, energy level, and appetite are normal; if everything is normal, there is likely no major problem and it may simply be due to weather changes. At the same time, carefully check the dog's throat for any foreign objects. If the cough is severe, promptly take the dog to a veterinary hospital for examination to identify the specific cause and provide targeted treatment.

Canine herpesvirus type 1 causes an acute, often fatal disease in young puppies. Adult dogs usually carry the virus without signs, but newborns can die within a day of infection. Because treatment is poor once signs appear, warmth and supportive care, plus prevention, are what matter most.
