Why Is My Cat Crying Reddish-Brown Tears?
Reddish-brown tear discharge in cats can be caused by overly salty food, a blocked nasolacrimal duct, or eye inflammation. Determine the specific cause from the actual situation and treat accordingly. If the cat recently ate salty food, it may be 'internal heat' causing more discharge that oxidizes to reddish-brown—adjust to a bland diet and offer more water. If the eyes are also red and swollen, inflammation is likely; see a vet.
My cat vomited three times: first undigested kibble and meat, second undigested kibble with white foam and pale-yellow water, third pale-yellow water with white foam. One bout of diarrhea, ears very hot but nose wet and cool. It happened before and I ignored it thinking overeating; this time is a bit worse.
Vomiting, diarrhea, and hot ears suggest acute gastroenteritis from hairballs, food intolerance, or indigestion; infection is possible. See a vet for diagnosis; if unavailable, give pet anti-inflammatory and anti-emetic, then softened kibble in small amounts.
Found it vomited today; no other signs by day, now tongue out panting, after panting still humming, red eye discharge and tears but not red yet, yellow sticky stuff on nose; is it feline rhinotracheitis, can I medicate?
Your description may fit rhinotracheitis but not certainly; further tests are needed. Rhinotracheitis is an acute upper respiratory infection from feline herpesvirus with sneezing, cough, runny nose, more eye discharge. It resembles a cold and needs PCR to confirm. With panting, tongue out, and vomiting, first check for abdominal breathing and fever, and rule out heart/lung issues like acute pulmonary edema or heart disease.
Cat sneezing about 10 times a day, dirty ears, scratching, eye discharge with red blood vessels
From the photo the cat has ear mites; the main sign is dark brown ear discharge with odor and head shaking. Severe mites can also affect the eyes. Treat with ear cleaner and mite medicine.
One of my cat’s eyes won’t open, tears, and the eyelid is red and swollen
The cat likely has conjunctival edema or conjunctivitis. Clean with pet eyewash and apply antibiotic drops with a collar; it usually heals in about a week, or see a vet.
My cat sneezes often, now stuffy nose, warm ears/paws, licks nose in sleep, eats/plays normally, occasional cough, frequent grooming, congested sounds, reddish-brown eye discharge
Stuffy nose with warm ears/paws suggests feline rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, or mycoplasma with fever (over 39.5 C). Try pet cold medicine (amoxicillin-clavulanate, doxycycline), add lysine and vitamins, clean face, and see a vet if no relief.
Last night I put ear-cleaning medicine on the cat (had used it a week before with no issue; it had scratched ears with black hard bits, then recovered). Yesterday I thought I’d apply again after months. Over an hour later the cat tilted its head; I put it in the kitchen. Today its neck is swollen, can’t lift its head, still head-tilt. What is this?
Earlier ear scratching with black bits, then head tilt and wobbling, suggests ear mites causing middle/inner ear infection and vestibular/nerve damage from late treatment. See a vet for correct diagnosis and treatment.
Why are my cat’s ears red with scabs?
From the photo, red, scabbed ears suggest fungal infection, but allergy can't be ruled out. Use an antifungal spray or ointment and observe; if no improvement, get a skin scrape at the vet for targeted treatment.
After drinking salt water from soaked kelp, the cat’s eyes are red, swollen, with pus-like tears
From your description, the cat drank salty kelp water and got red, swollen eyes with pus-like discharge, possibly from the salty water irritating it or a kelp allergy. Eye disease or respiratory disease cannot be ruled out. Give more water to boost metabolism and watch; if no relief or worsening, see a vet.
My cat has a high fever of 40 C, reduced appetite, looks unwell, and its ears, gums, and eyelids are yellow; urine is yellow and nose is dry
Based on your description, the cat shows high fever, reduced appetite, and yellowing of the ears, gums, eyelids, and urine with a dry nose - symptoms that may indicate hepatitis. Feline acute hepatitis brings lethargy, weight loss, and jaundice. Take the cat to a vet promptly for diagnosis; treatment usually combines antibiotics with aminoglycosides.
