I bathed the cat at home a while ago, then noticed yellow nasal discharge with bad breath, but it eats, drinks, runs, and jumps normally. Is this a cold or rhinotracheitis?
From the symptoms it's likely just a chill and cold. Try pet cold and anti-inflammatory medicine, keep it warm, and supplement vitamins, protein, and lysine. If fever or eye redness appears, consider rhinotracheitis or calicivirus and see a vet.
I bathed the kitten at home once, then noticed yellow nasal discharge and bad breath. Is this a cold or feline rhinotracheitis?

My three-month-old cat has feline rhinotracheitis; I gave acyclovir and ribavirin for two days, then it got diarrhea and vomited twice; fasting 6 hours stopped vomiting but diarrhea continues. Can rhinotracheitis and gastroenteritis meds be taken together, and which first?
Rhinotracheitis is from herpesvirus; do not blindly use ribavirin—a human drug banned in vet medicine for severe side effects (diarrhea, anemia, anorexia, birth defects). The diarrhea may come from wrong medication. Stop the harsh human drugs; both conditions can be treated together with compliant, targeted meds per a vet's guidance.
