Is Your Cat’s Sneezing Just Allergies—or a Silent Warning You Can’t Afford to Miss?
Many of these pathogens are highly contagious, so make sure you separate your sick cat from other cats in your home. Symptoms of an upper respiratory viral or bacterial infection include fever, red eyes, nasal discharge and appetite loss. If your cat has very mild symptoms, your vet may decide that no treatment is necessary — just like when we have a mild cold. For a more serious upper respiratory infection, your vet may prescribe antibiotics (for secondary infections) or antiviral medications, eye or nose drops or steroids. If your cat is dehydrated, your vet may administer subcutaneous fluids.
