Hello doctor, my cat’s nose has been puffy and sneezing for two or three days. However, the cat’s appetite and mental state are normal. When he puffs, his mouth opens slightly, as if his nose is blocked. Could you please help me, doctor, what should I do in this situation?

Hello pet owner, based on the symptoms you described and the information you provided, the preliminary analysis is that the cat should have an upper respiratory tract infection, accompanied by environmental dust and odor irritation, leading to nasal congestion, sneezing and runny nose as you mentioned.

Since the cat is young and has not been vaccinated, it is also necessary to suspect whether the cat has respiratory infectious diseases, such as rhinorrhea, feline calicivirus, mycoplasma, chlamydia, and Bordetella septicarum, etc.

Treatment Plan

If conditions permit, it is recommended to go to the nearest pet hospital to check the baby for respiratory infectious diseases. After confirming the type of disease, targeted infusion and injection combined with oral medication will have the best effect.

If it is temporarily inconvenient to see a doctor and the cat is in good condition and can eat and drink, you can give your baby some broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve nasal congestion and sneezing and runny nose. At the same time, it can also be used to effectively relieve sneezing for respiratory infections.

If the cat still has the current symptoms or the cat’s appetite decreases after 3-5 days of taking the medicine, you need to take the cat to the nearest pet hospital for relevant examinations. ​​​​​​

Other suggestions

First of all, it is forbidden to bathe or take the cat out when the cat has not been fully vaccinated. It is forbidden to vaccinate before the condition has fully recovered.

Secondly, the cat’s living environment needs to be improved to ensure that the ambient temperature reaches a constant temperature of 23-25 ​​degrees Celsius to prevent the cat from catching cold, because catching a cold will aggravate the cat’s condition.

Finally, you need to improve the environment and clean up the dust in your home as much as possible, especially the dust in the corners, to reduce the irritation of the cat's nasal cavity from external dust.
