Please help — home for two days, lots of eye discharge, constant tearing, not eating (only occasional water), hiding, won’t let me touch or wipe, sneezing, normally purrs
From the symptoms this is likely a respiratory disease, possibly feline rhinotracheitis. Get a vet exam and targeted treatment. A common cold needs cat cold medicine plus warmth; a viral disease needs antiviral and symptomatic care.
I bought some medicine; will it work?
From the photo, one product is a human drug and not advised for cats. Doxycycline hydrochloride treats mycoplasma; do not use medicine blindly before the cause is known. Tearing and sneezing can stem from respiratory infection, allergy, or rhinotracheitis, each needing different treatment. See a vet.
No eating or drinking, no vomiting or diarrhea, very sleepy since yesterday afternoon. Dark brown discharge around the nose and a little at the eye corners.
Not eating, lethargy, and increased eye/nose discharge resemble respiratory infection or feline rhinotracheitis. A PCR test at the vet is needed; late-stage rhinotracheitis can block the gut and be life-threatening.
The eye was a bit inflamed before; eye drops didn’t help, and it would occasionally turn out a little, but this time it turned out completely
From the photo, the cat may have conjunctival edema or hyperplasia needing vet care, likely with fluids and anti-inflammation. Causes include irritants, trauma, conjunctivitis, or cat flu; treat the root cause or risk corneal ulcer or blindness.
Kitten under 2 months, just home today, lots of eye discharge, very clingy, wet nose, no runny nose.
Much discharge and half-closed eyes with a wet nose suggest blocked nasolacrimal duct, rhinotracheitis, eye worms, or eye inflammation. Short-nosed cats get blockages needing surgery; rhinotracheitis has more signs; worms need deworming; inflammation uses eye drops.
Small bald patch, ear mites, eye swollen with discharge
FIP has wet and dry forms; wet shows breathing trouble, thinness, big belly, and in males swollen scrotum; dry shows fever, thinness, cloudy eyes, abdominal granulation. Your cat's hair loss and eye discharge do not fit FIP, so it likely does not have it. The signs more suggest fungal infection or feline rhinotracheitis; see a vet.
My kitten is not yet two months old (a few days short); symptoms: slightly red eye sockets and inner membranes, arrived Sept 9, occasional sneezing and cough, normal appetite and spirit, no runny nose, nose sometimes wet sometimes dry, using eye drops and vitamin-soaked water – what are these symptoms, what medicine?
A kitten sneezing and coughing has many causes, possibly a chill and cold, treated with anti-inflammatory and cold medicine plus nebulization if needed. It may also be feline rhinotracheitis (cat flu), which also brings sneezing and cough; take it to a vet for tests and prompt treatment.
Red, swollen, tearing eyes with discharge, and occasional sneezing; at first one eye would not open, now the other also tears a bit and is slightly red.
Red, swollen, tearing eyes with sneezing strongly suggest feline rhinotracheitis; severe cases need a vet to avoid blindness or death. If home care, use amoxicillin-clavulanate, ampicillin, famciclovir, lysine, and alternating eye drops. Clean eye discharge.
My kitten sneezes and coughs very frequently with runny nose; the vet said a cold, but after days of shots/meds it’s worse, coughing harder (was single, now several in a row); appetite/spirit good. Is it really a cold or something else?
Cough/sneeze/runny nose mainly from upper respiratory infection—pneumonia, bronchitis, viral cold, cat flu. If vet ruled out cat flu/calicivirus/mycoplasma/chlamydia and called it a common cold, cold meds help in 3–5 days. No improvement → other respiratory disease; further check. Viral cold needs interferon/antivirals; severe → nebulization/shots. Keep warm, encourage warm water.
Reduced appetite, normal stools, gurgling with nasal sounds, occasional rapid breathing, no sneezing, normal mood
A cat's gurgling breath with runny nose usually means an upper respiratory infection. If from a cold, give cold medicine; untreated it can become pneumonia.
