Cats sneezing with mucus
Common Questions and Answers about Cats sneezing with mucus
sneeze
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.
Just checking in to see if there is any news? I'll also weigh in with my 2 cents that nosebleeds aren't common in cats in my experience with them. Good luck with her!
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 started sneezing excessively . These sneezes are also followed up with what seems to be an excess of saliva/mucous. He always seems startled when this happens and runs around trying to get it out! @ weeks ago I came home and noticed blood on his nose (which is from what I assume him to be scratching it...maybe it was bothering him?
I am going through that with my own cats, sneezing being the only symptom. Clavamox works well at killing the bacteria that causes this type of URI. You don’t even have to take them to the vet unless of course you want to or there are cats dying or unable to eat, drink etc.. If you get enough clavamox, and with a dropper give it to them twice a day. There are other antibiotics out there. Some work well in one cat but it may not be beneficial to the other.
I don't think yr kitty can wait any longer for a Vet visit, or at least while there with the male cat ask yr Vet to presciribe an antibiotic for the queen, sounds very much like an upper respiratory infection (UTI) if left unchecked it could become fatal, it can also spread to the little kittens
This was likely brought on by the stress of birthing and the surgery combined. Tell me why ur waiting until later to give her the better canned food diet?
the best 2 supplements for this are L-lysine and Lactoferrin. if you reply I will give you the best brands to buy for use with cats(thse are human supplements).
and to help wiht the sneezing stinging nettles is excellent, again a human supplement. I will send you the safest brand names for cats.
do you have a good vitamin supply store nearby? and if I copy out all the brand names are yu willing to purchase these?
to help with his watery eyes...
I am 9 week pregnant and I am also allergic to my indoor cats. I am also scare about getting toxo from my cats.
Ask your vet if it's possible that your cat has an allergy instead of a respiratory infection. Sometimes vets assume with sneezing and congestions, and just prescribe the antibiotics. I don't know what kind of tests your vet did, but we have a cat that had exactly the same symptoms you are describing and it turned out to be an allergy.
So, it's worth asking about.
As to OTC, there is nothing that will clear up a respiratory infection, if that's what it is.
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.
And you would know the difference between hearing a cough or sneeze, as a cough sounds loud and scary like a seal barking. If kitty is coughing along with the sneezing and the eye issues, that is a very bad sign, and he really should be seen.
Talk to your Vet about starting kitty on Lysine, an Amino Acid that will help build up kitty's immune system against the herpes and future URI's.
Best of luck with this, and please keep us posted...
Hi Noodle,
Please do not let this get you upset. These things happen in cats all the time. Most cats are born with the Herpes virus (which causes cat colds), so getting these colds is sometimes just a matter of time. If this is indeed what your new kitten has then the Vet will explain the cycle to you, If your other cat is sniffling now also and the new cat is diagnosed with an URI then your other cat already has this respiratory complex, so I hope you will be keeping your New little one.
