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.
My cat has white thick eye discharge, red blood vessels, and can barely keep its eyes open. What is going on?
White thick discharge with half-closed eyes may indicate conjunctivitis or keratitis. Rinse with saline and apply pet anti-inflammatory eye drops; see a vet if no improvement.
My cat’s inner eye area is red and swollen and the eye won’t open — what’s wrong?
Red, swollen eyes that won't open can have many causes, including respiratory infection, allergy, trauma, or eye disease. If the cat also sneezes or has nasal discharge, take it to a vet to check for herpes, calicivirus, mycoplasma, or chlamydia. If it recently touched chemicals, pollen, or new food, it may be allergic — remove the source and seek veterinary care for anti-allergy medication. If other causes are ruled out, it is likely conjunctivitis from trauma or infection, treatable with neomycin sulfate or hydrocortisone acetate eye drops plus antibiotic ointment.
The inner area around my cat’s eye is red and swollen, the eye won’t open, and one eye is injured — what should I do?
Based on your description, the injured eye with redness, swelling, and inability to open is mainly considered local inflammation from external impact. If mild, give pet-specific broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory medication at home and use pet-specific broad-spectrum antiseptic eye drops to relieve symptoms. Keep an Elizabethan collar on to prevent scratching. If symptoms worsen or do not improve, take the cat to a proper veterinary hospital.
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.
Why are my cat’s eyes a bit red and swollen?

From the photo, the eye bulges with a cloudy pupil, possibly corneal injury with inflammation; take the cat to a vet for eye exam and treatment. If a visit is inconvenient, use an Elizabethan collar to prevent scratching and neomycin sulfate drops.
Why are my cat’s eyes red, swollen and watery?
Swollen, watery eyes in cats can have many causes, such as foreign-body irritation, keratitis, conjunctivitis, or feline herpesvirus. Herpesvirus infection often brings tearing and sneezing. If you suspect herpesvirus, have your cat examined by a vet; conjunctivitis or keratitis can be treated with pet-specific eye drops.
What happens when a cat gets red eye?
Red eye is not a disease but a symptom of eye infection — redness, swelling, tearing, and discharge — that can affect vision if untreated. It may be conjunctivitis or blepharitis from bacterial or viral infection. See a vet for eye drops, antibiotics, and antivirals.
Why is one of my cat’s eyes red and swollen?
From your description and photo, tearing and increased discharge suggest conjunctivitis from foreign-object irritation or impact. Clean the eye with saline or eye wash, then use chloramphenicol drops. If the cat scratches, use an Elizabethan collar to prevent worsening.
