Why is my cat sneezing and vomiting after coming home from boarding?

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.

Cats can commonly be afflicted by upper respiratory viruses that can cause sneezing, nasal discharge, conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers. These viruses can be latent in a cat's system and then in times of stress (like moving in to a new environment) they can cause illness. This is what I suspect is going on with your cat. Oftentimes cats can overcome a viral flare up on their own but sometimes they need antiviral drugs, eye medications, and possibly antibiotics to help them get over the virus. If the illness lasts more than 3-5 days, or if Elwin stops eating then I would take him in to be examined by your veterinarian. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Boop by Petco. Best of luck!

Shower may be not related at all to the presenting signs you described. Upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection (sneezing) and gastrointestinal disease may be possible. I would suggest to keep him indoors and if the signs persist have him checked by your local veterinarian. Antibiotics may be needed.

Thunder is probably suffering from an upper respiratory infection which is common in cats, especially rescues and kittens, you will need to take him to the vet ASAP in order to get it checked, the vet will probably prescribe an antibiotic suspension that should solve the problem within 1-2 weeks.

Cats can commonly have lingering upper respiratory infections. I would recommend that you have your kitty checked out by a vet. They can help diagnose an infection, allergies, or even asthma. Cats have VERY sensitive noses and a strong sense of smell, so I would definitely avoid Vick’s as it can be very irritating to them. Depending on the diagnosis, your vet may recommend steroids, antihistamines, or another treatment that will help him out.

The sneezing is most likely from being exposed to viruses is the air at the veterinary clinic. This is like kids going to school and getting sick from being around lots of different children. The vaccinations protect against upper respiratory infections but they can still get a mild case. Mr. Kitty should rest and he'll be fine in a few days to a week. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Mr. Kitty.

It sounds like your cat could have a respiratory infection, and when cats cough hard enough, it can lead to vomiting. I do think having her seen by a vet is best. The vet can confirm if she does have a respiratory infection, and can prescribe medication to help her symptoms. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

This is probably an upper respiratory infection. it's very common in young cats and is very contagious to other cats as well. is treated with oral antibiotics for about 2 weeks. I advise going to your vet asap to start the treatment right away.

Hi, and thanks for your question. This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or possibly to a rhinitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed.

Congrats on your new cat, but I'm sorry Felix isn't feeling well! Vaccines won't clear a respiratory infection, and in cats, a common cause of respiratory infections is a virus. I suspect that your vet may have given Felix an antibiotic shot in the hopes that the respiratory infection was caused by bacteria, but if it is caused by a virus, antibiotics won't help either. I can suggest some home remedies to see if that helps with his symptoms. First, you can try starting Felix on an L-lysine supplement - this is an amino acid that has been shown to help the immune system fight off respiratory infections more effectively. Enisyl and Viralys are both good brands, and can be purchased over the counter without a prescription - just follow the dosing instructions on the label based on your cat's weight. If he's congested, 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 congesti
