My cat has a runny nose and now nosebleeds – what medicine should I give?
A runny nose is usually a respiratory infection (bacteria, chlamydia, mycoplasma, calicivirus, herpesvirus); untreated irritation can damage the nasal lining and cause bleeding. See a vet to identify the pathogen. If a visit is impossible and there are no other symptoms, oral Clavamox and lysine with nasal drops may help.
Green Nasal Discharge and Sneezing—Already Saw a Vet and Took Medicine for Days; Fever Gone and Energy Improved but Sneezing Persists, Now Green Discharge Again. What Medication Next?
For bronchitis with sneezing and runny nose, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy meds help, with nebulization working best. If no improvement after about a week, a respiratory PCR panel is advised to rule out herpesvirus, calicivirus, or mycoplasma.
My cat has been low in spirit lately, always wants to sleep, walks very slowly, has poor appetite, doesn’t like to drink, lies down all day, but sometimes perks up with its favorite toy. It used to sneeze a lot and its belly twitches
Low spirit and no eating, with prior sneezing, may be a respiratory infection - chill/cold, or herpes, calicivirus, mycoplasma. Without sneezing but just low spirit/poor appetite, other diseases like gut discomfort, indigestion, hairballs, parasites. Take it to a vet for the cause and targeted treatment.
Yesterday I found a cat outside and brought it home; it looks like a pet cat that got out, but it breathes poorly, nose blocked, sneezes like a cold, and has a scabbed injury on the nose. Photos 1–2 are from that night, photo 3 is this morning.
Breathing trouble, blocked nose, sneezing suggest respiratory infection or cat flu. Try doxycycline or amoxicillin-clavulanate and watch; if no clear relief, see a vet. A stray easily catches viruses and needs proper vet care.
What happens if a dog has low immunity?
Dogs with low immunity are more prone to respiratory, digestive, skin, and viral diseases, and may seem tired and grow poorly. Boost with protein, vitamins, hygiene, deworming, vaccines, and daily exercise.
What happens if a dog has phlegm?
Phlegm in the throat is usually from respiratory or digestive infection, causing frequent cough and breathing difficulty, worse at rest. It may contain pathogens causing secondary infection, and buildup can lead to pneumonia. See a vet.
My free-roaming cat returned after two weeks, breathes through its mouth with a rattling sound, but eats and plays normally – is it sick?
Mouth breathing with phlegm suggests upper respiratory, lung, or infectious disease. Given stray exposure, see a vet to identify the cause.
I found a stray kitten with no mother and brought it home; does this orange kitten’s mouth have a problem?
The photo shows much nose/mouth discharge, likely a respiratory infection or inflammation, but panleukopenia or calicivirus can't be ruled out; strays easily catch viruses. Get a full vet check; if diseased, follow the vet's treatment.
What happens if a puppy’s nose is dry?
A dry nose in a puppy can be caused by several things. First, just after waking or finishing intense exercise, the nose may be a little dry, which is normal. Second, when indoor air is very dry or the dog's water intake is low, the nose also gets dry; it is recommended to give the dog more water. In addition, skin dehydration or skin disease (such as demodex) can also cause a dry nose, usually with skin rashes, itching, and hair loss, which needs a prompt skin scraping at a vet to find the cause and treat. Finally, if the nose is dry and hot to the touch, it may signal a rising body temperature, with causes including respiratory infection, parvovirus, or distemper; if the dog also has lethargy, vomiting, a runny nose, or coughing, see a vet promptly.
What happens if a dog’s cold won’t go away?
If a dog's cold persists, the respiratory infection may worsen into bronchitis or pneumonia, causing severe constant coughing that requires fluid therapy and nebulization. Long-term illness also weakens the immune system, raising the risk of secondary bacterial or viral infections such as distemper or parvovirus, which can be life-threatening. Prolonged discomfort may also affect the dog's mood and behavior.
