Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered

Hello. Im researching what my cat may have as it seems he's quite Ill. He just came out of a cat hotel he was in the past month and is now extremely underweight and does not seem to be eating or drinking. No solids coming out of either end of the cat. Gunk building up around the eyes and nose and some sneezing. Any ideas? Thank you so much for your time

Hi. He could have an upper respiratory infection that goes around boarding facilities sometimes and are unavoidable. But he sounds pretty sick qnd needs to be seen asap. Could be more then just an upper respiratory infection.
