My cat has red, swollen eyelids, occasional eye discharge, and sneezing but eats and plays—what is it?
These signs may be early cat flu or a common cold/upper respiratory infection. Isolate the cat, disinfect, add lysine, and treat symptoms; if they persist, test for respiratory pathogens at a clinic.
2-month-old Ragdoll sleeps a lot, looks low-energy but has appetite and formed stool; has dirt on it; suspect a cold
Cold signs resemble respiratory infection, so test for viral causes first. The black specks are actually flea dirt, meaning parasites, not a cold; do external deworming.
My cat keeps sneezing, has watery eyes, low energy, and a white membrane at the corner of its eye
The white membrane is usually the normal third eyelid, but ongoing sneezing, tearing, and low energy suggest a cold or upper respiratory infection. Rule out viral causes first.
Kitten has no energy at all and will not eat or drink
A kitten with pus from the eyes, no appetite, and very low energy may have a serious infection. Eye inflammation, respiratory infection, or digestive disease are possible causes.
Vomited three times since around 9:50 and had one bout of diarrhea
Vomiting with diarrhea in a cat may indicate gastroenteritis or a viral disease such as feline panleukopenia. A veterinary exam for panleukopenia and parasites is recommended.
My cat has white eye discharge and now clear runny nose for two days
White eye discharge with clear runny nose suggests a cold or feline rhinotracheitis from herpes, calicivirus, mycoplasma, or chlamydia, among other respiratory causes. See a vet for eye drops, anti-inflammatory and antiviral care, and keep air fresh.
My near 6-month cat in heat is lethargic, eats less, seems feverish, small urine clumps, blood shows dehydration
Sudden not drinking with small urine clumps has many causes; the blood shows dehydration, and fever worsens it. Get biochemistry, full abdominal ultrasound, SAA, and distemper and coronavirus tests; suspect urinary issues or pain. Offer wet food and water meanwhile.
Is it normal for cattery cats to all have eye discharge because the owner is too busy?
It is generally not normal for all cattery cats to have eye discharge, and you should rule out respiratory infections like feline herpesvirus or calicivirus. A proper cattery is clean, since dirt lets pathogens thrive and harms the cats.
Mother cat sneezes continuously with yellow nasal discharge and eye gunk the day after kittening
A nursing mother's sneezin, discharge and eye gunk may be post-birth low immunity causing respiratory infection or feline herpes/calicivirus. Isolate her from kittens (feed kittens formula) and use antibiotics and immune support; see a vet if no improvement.
Black material around the cat’s eyes
Black matter around cat eyes may be excess discharge and conjunctivitis. With respiratory signs suspect feline herpes (cat flu); clean at home and see a vet. Use an Elizabethan collar.
