What Medicine to Use for a Cat with Mouth Sores and Drooling
Mouth sores and drooling in cats are usually caused by trauma or stomatitis and need prompt anti-inflammatory treatment plus a bland diet. Depending on severity, a pet oral spray with metronidazole and vitamin B supplements help the mouth heal.
What to Do When Your Cat Has Mouth Sores and Won’t Eat
Mouth sores that stop a cat from eating are usually a sign of stomatitis, a painful inflammation of the gums and mouth that makes chewing unbearable. Soften the diet to liquids, treat the infection with a vet-recommended oral spray and metronidazole, and keep up daily dental care to prevent recurrence.
Cat Frequent Urination with Small Volume: Causes and Medication
Frequent, small-volume urination in cats is usually a urinary-tract problem — urethritis, cystitis or urolithiasis. Start with a diuretic and a pet-safe anti-inflammatory to ease pain and infection, encourage water intake, and if there is no improvement see a vet to rule out stones blocking the urethra.
Why Is My Cat Vomiting Yellow Fluid and How to Treat It
Cats vomit yellow fluid due to hairballs, diet indiscretion, gastritis, or viral disease (panleukopenia, coronavirus). Treatment matches the cause: hairball paste, short fasting, probiotics, or urgent vet care for viral infection.
Nebelung
The Nebelung is essentially a long-haired Russian Blue, a rare variant recognized by TICA in 1987 and hailed as the 'nobility of long-haired breeds.' Apart from its coat, it is identical to the Russian Blue. Quiet, shy, and gentle, yet intelligent and adaptable, it is well suited to calm households.
Why do cats develop stomatitis?
Feline stomatitis has many causes: mechanical, physical, or chemical irritation, or secondary disease. Sharp objects (fish bones, nails, glass) can infect the oral mucosa; burns or caustic chemicals also trigger it; it may follow calicivirus or B-vitamin deficiency. Observe symptoms to judge the cause.
A stray cat can’t open its eyes, has no fur around the nose, and parts of its face are stiff
The photo suggests severe respiratory disease and facial skin ulceration. Eye discharge from infection builds crusted, stiff plaques; needs veterinary screening of respiratory/communicable disease. If no hospital, use antibiotics, antiviral eye drops, disinfectants, and softeners with daily dressing and a collar.
My two-month-old kitten is very thin with ongoing watery diarrhea and coughing, has a good appetite, and variable energy-what could cause this?
A thin kitten with persistent watery diarrhea and coughing may have digestive issues, parasites (roundworms, hookworms), viral infection (distemper), or upper-respiratory/cat-flu/calicivirus disease. Because symptoms persist, get a full exam: blood, fecal, X-ray, and respiratory PCR.
My cat has constant clear eye discharge that I can’t wipe away and sometimes glues the eye shut
The photo shows conjunctivitis, with causes including bacterial, herpesvirus, chlamydia, or mycoplasma infection. Bacterial cases need anti-inflammatory eye drops and oral antibiotics with an Elizabethan collar, recovering in about a week; herpes-driven cat flu needs longer antiviral and immune-support treatment, possibly 2-3 weeks or lifelong.
My kitten arrived 8–9 days ago, sneezes with a little discharge but still eats, drinks, plays, and sleeps; today’s test found calicivirus, mycoplasma, and Bordetella—is he going to be okay?
If a kitten tests positive for calicivirus, mycoplasma, and Bordetella but only sneezes with slight discharge while still eating, drinking, and playing, it is generally not life-threatening. These are common upper-respiratory pathogens—calicivirus can cause runny nose, stomatitis, and conjunctivitis and may be carried for life, while Bordetella can cause cough and breathing trouble. Follow the vet's treatment and give a warm, dry, clean environment with good nutrition.
