What if a male cat is not neutered?
An unneutered male cat faces physical and behavioral issues: frequent heat raises hormone-related disease risk like prostatitis and testicular cancer. It may escape and mate, increasing strays and catching panleukopenia or rhinotracheitis. Heat causes spraying, yowling, and irritability, affecting the owner's life.
My cat has had a cold for half a month.
Do not give 999 cold medicine; it contains acetaminophen and caffeine that poison cats, even fatal in overdose. Use pet cold medicine, such as amoxicillin-clavulanate, Pu'ante Shuanghuanglian, or doxycycline. If no improvement, check for rhinotracheitis, mycoplasma, calicivirus, or pneumonia.
My cat’s eye is sealed shut with pus, very red, wet nose, intermittent sneezing
These signs strongly suggest feline rhinotracheitis (cat flu). Get a PCR test at the vet to confirm; unvaccinated cats are at higher risk.
My cat has been sleeping since yesterday, vomited yellow fluid, and now drools
Vomiting, anorexia, rapid breathing, tongue out, and drooling point to feline rhinotracheitis or poisoning. If poisoning is suspected, go to a vet at once; the case is serious.
My cat has a mild cold, lost its voice, and has yellow and clear nasal discharge
Your cat is most likely dealing with a cold or a respiratory infection, and feline rhinotracheitis cannot be ruled out. For a simple cold, keep it warm and give pet cold medicine; if it worsens, see a vet.
Fine the first day, then suddenly no eating and low energy; third day still not eating with lots of eye discharge; gave amoxicillin twice; fourth day still low but ate some cat strips, no vomit/diarrhea/runny nose. On the fourth sick day another kitten also stopped eating.
Based on your description, the cat likely has feline rhinotracheitis (herpes). It is contagious; isolate both and take them to a vet promptly.
My cat has drooling, runny nose, tearing, poor appetite, won’t drink, and frequent continuous sneezing
A cat cold can be treated with pet cold and anti-inflammatory drugs (amox-clav, doxycycline, Shuanghuanglian); never human meds (they cause poisoning). Keep warm, give warm water and protein/vitamins; if no improvement in 2-3 days or eyes/nose turn mucopurulent or fever, it may be rhinotracheitis/mycoplasma - see a vet.
My pregnant cat has a runny nose, occasional sneezes and reddish-brown eye discharge – what medicine?
A pregnant cat needs careful medication to protect the kittens. For mild rhinotracheitis, use vet-approved supplements and lysine to boost immunity; for severe signs, see a vet promptly.
Could my cat’s stomatitis be from dust in a new bed or from a chill?
Stomatitis has many causes - mechanical, physical or chemical irritation, or other diseases. Sharp objects, hot food or irritant drugs can burn the mouth; calicivirus or B-vitamin lack can also trigger it.
My cat is a bit listless but still plays, one eye barely opens with sticky discharge, face dirty, and feels cool – what’s wrong?
Lethargy, a shut eye and low temperature may be a chill or cold; use pet cold and anti-inflammatory medicine. Cat flu (herpes/calici) is possible and needs PCR. Low temperature may also mean low blood sugar or hypothermia; see a vet.
