My new cat has red eyes, sneezing, and trouble breathing. What to do?

Question

I found this cat on street that has hair falling plus redness around his eyes, also sneezing and hard breathing. I gave him a bath cuz he was so so dirty and gave him cats vitamins. I wish I know how to treat this problem around his eyes.

Thanks for hwlping this guy. He likely has an upper respiratory infection which can be a combination of viral and bacterial disease. Getting good nutrition into him is a start but many time these cats need antiviral or antibiotic medications. You can warm compress or wipe his eyes clean with a warm damp cloth. If a vet visit is possible I strongly recommend it to get the correct medications for him. In the meantime nursing and supportive care may help a lot. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/feline-upper-respiratory-infection Thank you for using PetCoach.
