What to do for my cat's runny nose, bleary eyes, and poor appetite?

Question

Mau has had a runny nose and has been bleary eyed for a couple days. His appetite has waned a little as well. Other than that, he's his normal self. Are there any supllements I can get him from a pet store, and is there anything I can do or should do for him? I work until 5 today, when his vet closes shop, so he and I are stuck for the weekend. But I don't want Mel feeling miserable either. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Male | neutered | 10 lbs

Poro Mau Mau! It could be that he is suffering from a respiratory infection causing his runny nose and bleary eyes, but it could also be allergies. Without seeing him in person, I can't say for certain. But the runny nose could be the cause of his decrease in appetite. When cats can't smell their food, they won't eat. I recommend gently warming really smelly wet food such as sardine or fish based to tempt him to eat. You can also try using a humidifier or bringing him into the bathroom with the door closed while you take a hot shower - the steam and humidity help to break up congestion and temporarily relieve symptoms associated with respiratory infections. Without knowing the cause of his systems, I do not recommend giving him any supplements as they may be the improper treatment for him. Have him seen by a vet first thing Monday. I hope this helps!
