A cat that keeps having a runny nose may have a cold, or it may be because the cat is infected with rhinitis or has rhinitis. Because the initial symptoms of these diseases are relatively similar, it is recommended that owners take their cats to the pet hospital for examination in time and receive symptomatic treatment according to the cat’s symptoms. It is not recommended that owners go to pharmacies to buy human medicine for their cats. This will not only delay the condition but may also cause the cat to be poisoned.
1. Cold
If your cat’s runny nose is watery, it is most likely a common cold. At this time, the owner only needs to feed the cat special cold medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine. In addition, during the recovery period from a cold, the owner also needs to pay attention to keeping the cat warm to prevent the cold from getting worse. At the same time, the owner needs to provide the cat with a nutritionally balanced diet to improve the body's resistance.
2. Cat nasal branch
If the cat has yellow nasal discharge and is accompanied by symptoms such as listlessness, loss of appetite, sneezing, watery eyes, elevated body temperature or even fever. , then it is likely to be infected with cat nasal branch. At this time, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital for PCR as soon as possible for diagnosis. When the cat is diagnosed with rhinal bronchus, lysine needs to be used to inhibit the replication of the virus, and antibiotics are also needed to prevent secondary bacterial infection.
3. Rhinitis
If the cat only has a small amount of runny nose, but sneezes frequently, it is probably caused by bacterial infection, cold weather stimulation, dust in the air, etc. rhinitis. Because the initial symptoms are very similar to respiratory infections, feline infectious rhinotracheitis, and feline calicivirus, it is recommended that owners take their cats to the pet hospital for infectious disease examinations and blood tests, and then treat the symptoms according to the examination results. If it is just a simple Rhinitis, then anti-inflammation and anti-infection can generally achieve good results.
