Cat bought a year ago; always has brown tears, frequent sneezing, clear runny nose, sometimes severe wheezing like something stuck, but daily life and health are fine, always lively
For a year, brown tears with sneezing, runny nose, and severe wheezing suggest upper respiratory infection, commonly feline herpesvirus (rhinotracheitis), but also chronic rhinotracheitis, bacteria, calicivirus, mycoplasma, or chlamydia. Take it for full respiratory exams, best a respiratory PCR panel, X-ray, and blood work, then treat by cause.
Cat just received yesterday, about one month old, ~0.5kg. One eye won’t fully open, a white film, pupil unclear
From the photo, the symptoms suggest feline rhinotracheitis. Main signs: sneezing, more eye/nose discharge, tearing, red conjunctiva, poor appetite. Treatment is antiviral, antibacterial, and symptomatic; take it to the vet for interferon and, under guidance, lysine, plus care for its signs.
My cat’s eyes water, it is sleepy and listless
Watery eyes may come from eye disease, internal heat, conjunctivitis, or respiratory disease like rhinotracheitis or calicivirus; screen for upper respiratory infection. If the diet is heating, switch to lighter food. Sleepiness may mean internal inflammation; take its temperature, and if listlessness and appetite loss persist, seek emergency blood and virus tests.
Watery eyes, clear runny nose, occasional sneezing, mouth-breathing
These signs have many causes; most common are feline rhinotracheitis and calicivirus upper-respiratory infection, not ruling out bacteria, mycoplasma, chlamydia. If unsure, do a respiratory PCR panel. Heart/lung disease (heart disease, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema) can also cause them. Bloodwork, fSAA, chest X-ray, cardiac ultrasound may be needed; only by identifying the pathogen can you treat well.
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.
How good is the cat vaccine Miao San Duo (Meow Three Duo)?
The Miao San Duo vaccine effectively prevents feline panleukopenia (distemper), feline viral rhinotracheitis (herpes), and calicivirus - all widespread and especially dangerous to kittens, so vaccination is very important. It is well recognized, widely used in clinics and catteries, with good effect and feedback. Generally start the first shot at 2 months, then every 21-28 days for 3 shots.
Eyes inflamed with discharge, then yellow stuff blocks the nose, sneezes while eating and sprays food, sleeps a lot, eats little
Eye inflammation, more discharge, frequent sneezing, and sleepiness are mainly upper respiratory infection or feline rhinotracheitis; if unvaccinated, rhinotracheitis is likely. A vet check and antiviral treatment are needed.
Stray kitten’s eye was shut; I rinsed with saline but this morning still oozes pus
Kitten eye pus may come from conjunctivitis, keratitis, rhinotracheitis, or panleukopenia; as a former stray, virus is likely. A vet check is urged; if not possible, use boric acid rinse and pet eye drops.
My cat’s eyes won’t open, has discharge, sneezes, and has a runny nose.
These signs suggest a cold or calicivirus infection. A vet exam and PCR test confirm the cause; treat with cold medicine or interferon as needed.
There are hard spots behind the neck and under the hips, and the nose keeps sneezing.
From the photo, the cat may have a respiratory infection and ringworm. Eye/nose discharge suggests a cold or feline rhinotracheitis; the crusts and dandruff on the neck suggest ringworm. Kittens have weak immunity. Use antifungal cream for ringworm; see a vet for the respiratory signs, and if it's rhinotracheitis, add lysine.
