My cat suddenly has a runny nose with yellow discharge. Is this a cold, and should I give it medicine?

Cats do not normally have nasal discharge; when they do, illness is usually the cause. Yellow discharge often points to a cold, typically alongside sneezing, coughing, and fever. A cat-specific cold medicine is the usual treatment once a cold is confirmed.
