For feline rhinotracheitis, mild cases get lysine and anti-inflammatory medicine plus antiviral eye drops and nutrition at home; severe cases need a vet promptly.
My kitten from a cattery runs around on a cold floor and has sneezed for two days. Is it a cold?
Sneezing alone is unclear; check for nasal debris first and keep the home clean. If runny nose, eye discharge, fever, or poor appetite follow, suspect viral rhinitis and 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.
How do I treat feline rhinotracheitis at home?
Mild cases can be treated at home; severe needs a vet. For mild sneezing/runny nose/cough, give lysine and anti-inflammatories to fight the virus, plus antiviral eye drops for conjunctivitis, with good nutrition and environment care.
My cat breathes through its mouth while sleeping, sometimes coughs repeatedly like something is stuck, is lethargic, has poor appetite, sleeps constantly, and has soft diarrhea.
Mouth breathing with cough, diarrhea, and low appetite may signal panleukopenia, acute enteritis, FIP, or rhinotracheitis; mouth breathing means a blocked nose or cardiopulmonary issue. Screen for infectious disease if unvaccinated; if vaccinated, try symptomatic meds.

What should I do if my cat sneezes and has eye discharge?
Sneezing and eye discharge may be irritation, cold, or feline rhinotracheitis. Keep the environment dust-free; for a chill, warm it and give cold medicine. Don't rule out rhinotracheitis; if no relief, see a vet.
My cat coughs once or twice and sneezes a few times daily, no eye discharge; what medicine?
From your description, a coughing cat with phlegm, nasal congestion, and sneezing suggests a respiratory infection, but feline herpes or calicivirus cannot be ruled out. Screen at a vet and treat by cause. If a visit is hard, give oral respiratory medicine at home and watch for improvement; if none, see a vet.
Why Is My Cat’s Eye Discharge Green?
Normal cat eye discharge is white or clear; greenish-yellow usually means internal heat, an eye infection, or feline rhinotracheitis (cat flu). Adjust the diet first, then see a vet if it persists or comes with sneezing, fever, or corneal signs.
My cat lost appetite (won’t even eat favorite treats), eyes watery and barely open, sleeps all day
Poor appetite and tearing may mean an eye problem—infection, allergy, or injury. Check for trauma; if none, consider infection or inflammation. Irritating smells in the environment may also cause it. Feline rhinotracheitis is possible; if it persists, see a vet soon.
