I bathed the kitten at home once, then noticed yellow nasal discharge and bad breath. Is this a cold or feline rhinotracheitis?
Rhinotracheitis causes sneezing, runny nose, lethargy, fever, poor appetite, red eyes, and sometimes mouth ulcers, with clear then yellow-green discharge. If only runny nose with normal spirit and appetite, it's likely a bacterial infection from chill. Try pet cold and anti-inflammatory medicine.
Cat has breathed poorly and coughed with runny nose since coming home; improved shortly after. A few days ago weather changed severely, then it ran a fever (39.8 C rectally). Four days ago it stopped eating and drinking, hid, no stool or urine, and at night vomited pale-yellow watery fluid with a faint fishy smell. Cephalosporin prescribed.
The report alone can't confirm a diagnosis; further PCR for respiratory/coronavirus, ultrasound, X-ray, and bloodwork are advised. With yellow vomit, fever, and breathing trouble, rule out FIP first; coughing suggests upper-respiratory infection.
My three-month-old cat had a severe vaccine allergy before and I don’t plan to vaccinate it anymore, but it has sneezed several times a day since 50 days old, though everything else is fine. When can I bathe it? It’s been half a month since the allergy.
Bathing an unvaccinated, previously allergy-prone cat risks lowered immunity and illness, so vaccinate first if possible by identifying the allergen. Chronic sneezing may signal rhinitis or cat flu; get it checked before bathing.
Why is my cat dry-heaving and having a runny nose?
Dry heaving, a runny nose, and poor appetite in cats may be symptoms of a respiratory infection caused by bacteria, mycoplasma, chlamydia, or viruses. You can give the cat cold medicine and keep it warm. If tearing and sneezing also appear, consider feline viral rhinotracheitis caused by the herpes virus.
My cat coughs and sneezes at home and seems to have phlegm in its throat; it coughs it up but swallows it back, and its nose seems blocked.
Cough, sneeze, and stuffy nose may be a cold needing antibiotics and cold medicine, possibly with nebulization for phlegm; usually improves in 5-7 days. Feline rhinotracheitis is also possible and needs vet testing plus antiviral drugs and lysine.
My Cat Has Been Sneezing and Has a Runny Nose Lately; at Night Mucus Dries and Blocks the Nose, and Since Last Month One Eye Corner Has Had Reddish-Brown Discharge
'Cold' is a general term for upper respiratory symptoms (sneezing, runny nose, cough, congestion, red eyes or discharge). Rhinotracheitis is a type of cold from herpesvirus. Many causes: calicivirus, chlamydia, mycoplasma, Bordetella, influenza, bronchitis, pneumonia. For severe upper respiratory symptoms, get a vet PCR, DR, fSAA, and blood tests to find cause, then treat.
Why Does My Cat Have Persistent Black Nasal Discharge?
Persistent black nasal discharge may be a secondary sign of ear mites, or from 'internal heat' or feline rhinotracheitis. Check ears for dirt or odor; if none, rule out ear mites. Rhinotracheitis signs: conjunctivitis, eye discharge, sneezing, runny nose; severe: drooling, lethargy, anorexia, fever, cough. Find cause from symptoms; if worsening, vet.
My Cat Has Discharge Near the Nose, Red and Tearful Eyes, Occasional Sneezing, but Is Energetic and Eating Well
Per description and photo, symptoms (eye/nose discharge, red eyes, tearing, sneezing) suggest feline rhinotracheitis (herpesvirus upper respiratory infection). Typical signs: conjunctivitis, discharge, sneezing, runny nose; severe: drooling, lethargy, anorexia, fever, cough. No specific drug; use interferon, lysine, antiviral and antibiotics. See vet promptly.
Is a Cat’s Repeated Sneezing a Sign of a Cold?

My cat has increased eye discharge. What should I do?
Per the image, heavy discharge with red conjunctiva/eyes—put on an Elizabethan collar to prevent scratching, use anti-inflammatory eye drops, wipe discharge daily with tissue to keep dry. If repeated tearing, likely feline herpesvirus (cat flu) causing conjunctivitis, tearing, photophobia—need PCR respiratory test; if confirmed, use antivirals and eye drops.
