cats sneezing nose

Three years ago, my husband and I adopted two cats. They're brothers, Alvin and Simon, and were a year old when we got them. Before they came to our home, they lived with a friend who runs a Second Chance operation from her home. She found them as kittens (mum was killed by a possum) and weaned them. Both cats were well treated. When we first took them, our friend mentioned that Alvin had started sneezing. We didn't think anything of it. Cats sneeze.

My 9 yr. old cat has been sneezing for over 2 yrs. He also has constant left eye & left nose drainage...sometimes bloody. Vet has no answers here so gave him an antibiotic shot. The shot was ineffective.His appetite is fine.He does'nt purr out loud so I've wondered if it's an obstruction.

Additionally, if your cat sniffed up a foreign body and it is lodged in his nose it may have to be removed by a vet, and could be the cause of his excessive sneezing. Sneezing is the bodies way to remove invaders.

I doubt that the sneezing has anything to do with being happy. Sneezing is cats is for the same reasons as it is in humans. Irritation, blockage, allergic reaction, or sinus infection. If there are no other symptoms (eye or nose draining, wheezing, difficulty breathing), it is most likely due to some temporary irritation or blockage such as inhaling a bit of food or litter dust, or even from playing with a feathery or furry toy.

I agree with Opus, nose bleeds are definitely not common in cats. I'm very concerned for your cat and am glad you're calling the vet. She may need to be on an additional BP med. I had a cat that needed 2 meds. Please keep us posted.

now sneezing and nasal fluid sound..( like runny nose at times) ? Also had some vomiting last week..and was not eating at all...

Honestly, I have not heard of infections causing sneezing that are contagious, other than a virus or a bacteria, and that condition usually comes with coughing, fever etc. Your cat does not have a cold. It could also be, like April said, cleaning products or......sometimes the litter. Have you tried a different litter? You did mention your cleaning the house a lot. That might have done it right there.

He slurps his food up in a hurry then he is steady sneezing non stop and blowing his nose. No discharge of any type comes out. This goes on for quite awhile. He was starved to death and on deaths door when I first got him.he is fat and sassy seems to always be healthy and feeling good full of energy. He eats well 1can of fancy feast every morning and oorient six fish as much as he cares to eat. Do you think there is something major wrong should I take him to the vet and have this checked out?

If you have been taking opiates for a long period of time, you can have withdrawal symptoms once you stop taking them. These can include runny nose and sneezing that may be caused by nasal congestion. Some people appear to suffer from chronic runny nose, creating greater likelihood they will sneeze frequently. This suggests that the presence of extra mucus in the sinuses is more likely to provoke the sneeze reaction.

this will make them wheeze, and sneeze a lot....watch the tip of the nose right aftr all the sneezing...see if you ca detect a little strand of something yellow or brown peeking out...if so get a tweezers and pull it slowly and gently out. Often then blades are several inches long, and usually decayed not still green. persians and snumb nosed cats are more prone to getting hair or grass stuck up in their nasal pasage....you can irrigate with mild saline solution after removing the blade.

was about 4 months old. very snotty and bloody nose all the time and sneezing. went through 2 round of antibiotics and lysine supplement with no improvement. vet said it's a "barn cat virus" since antibiotics didnt work and the symptoms may ease with time. year and a half later, still no improvement. i want to help this nice little kitty but am stumped as to what to do. i find it hard to believe a bloody/snotty nose can just last forever with no cure.

in a person clear mucus means that the nose is just running naturally. she's not sneezing like crazy is she? warm not hot tea bags help with congestion, so does a roman bath. lock kitty in the bathroom and run the shower on steamy hot. give kitty a good steam to relieve the sinuses. that actually saved my small cat when she was severely congested. way to go with the kitten milk! my best advice would be just calling the vet. they are very helpful when you call.

This is commonly from an upper respiratory infection, which is from several viruses (like herpesvirus, etc.). The good thing is none of them are contagious to you. Lysine is certainly benign enough. Make sure to isolate your cat from other cats (i.e., if she's an outdoor cat, she may be catching this outside from other cats).

I found a stray kitten and I have noticed he is very playful eats and drinks normally but he seems to be sneezing quite often,watery eyes and nose (the water is not green or anything its just clear) can I go to a petstore and get him something for the sneezing,is that a cold?

I'm just curious..Are the cats current vaccinations up to date? Because generally if they are your cat (unless it is allergies) shouldn't have any respiratory infection. Nevertheless if your kitty does have a kitty cold that includes heavy sneezing, drippy nose and eyes this will most likely clear up on it's own, generally within 1-2 weeks. As long as kitty is eating, dinking and pottying (urinating) then there isn't really any concerns.

s caused by the relaxation and expansion of the vessels in the nose. They go a bit haywire when you go through withdrawals. They should subside in a few days. As an aside, this is also why you get the stomach upset. While on opiates, the constriction on the intestines are slowed. Food then stays in your stomach longer. Thus, more water is absorbed and constipation occurs. The exact opposite happens when you're in withdrawal.

she seems ok at times but others she is sneezing alot. she doesnt want to eat at times and a day after her sergery she wet herself. her eyes are not swelling so im not sure if it is kennel cough or URI. i cant tell if she has a fever or is warm because of the blanket she is just laying on. she doesnt feel hot most of the time. Any comments would be helpful.

I live on a farm and have many barn cats. Last fall I noticed many of them sneezing,and they have leaky eyes and now that winter is here they are really coughing and sneezing with eyes and noses that are leaking. I feel so sorry for them and I don't know what they have? I have been giving them lots of warm meals and cleaning their eyes and noses. Thank you.

hi, unfortunately persians and other cats with the 'peeked nose' are very prone to noisy breathing and all the problems that go along with it.. such as Upper Respiratory Infection or URI. http://www.petmd.com/cat/emergency/common-emergencies/e_ct_excessive_sneezing_nasal_discharge#.T_MSUfX5Ckg this can become bacterial and therefore require antibiotics....especially if she isn't eating llike she should or showing signs of a fever.

I'm constantly sneezing and sniffing all over the place , allergy-like symptoms. I sneeze so much I feel like I'm hurting the baby. I swear I want to get checked just in case?? Or should I be fine?? My next apt is next Friday.

Hello KittyCatLover23, I don't think it works like that. As far as I know cats cannot catch a cold from a person. Cats can sneeze from dust too. When you older cat was sick did you take him or her to the vet and what did the cat have ? Just wondering. I wish you and your two kitties well.

(I was told to by my vet) my kitten is still kinda geting over cat flu she has manky eyes, but the vet said if she gets a runny nose and starts sneezing take her straight back and they will put her on Antibiotics. So just in case.... But things are looking good.... :) Wooohooo. But all 5 being ill.. woah, I thought It was bad mine being born with Cat flu, but it never got passed on to the others.

Hello, Cat allergen, the allergy causing material from cats, is not cat hair, but rather a protein present in the dander and saliva of cats. These allergens become airborne as microscopic particles, which when inhaled into the nose or lungs can produce allergic symptoms.The color of the cat is due to its genes and if you are allergic to orange colored cats then it is not due to their color but due to their dander or saliva.

t really my Crest toothpaste and that I was brushing my teeth with the gritty residue of my cats litterbox. It was awful! It smelled like, well, it smelled like a cats litterbox. It was sick. I double-checked and sure as %$*! it was actually only Crest toothpaste. Have you started sneezing yet? Wait until you start sneezing. This is my 3rd and by far most successful shot at getting clean from a 3 year oxy addiction and I've been sneezing for 55 consecutive days.

I work with our local humane shelter and we have two cats sneezing with a lot of yellow mucus. One has had it for several months and has gone through several antibiotics from several different vets and steroids as well. Nothing is working. Beautiful, pleasant cats but unable to adopt them out due to this problem.
