My cat has sneezing and diarrhea. Can I treat him at home due to cost?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Hello... I want to ask you if there is anyway to treat my cat at home. I've been to the vet for my cats multiple problems and I'm really low in income.. My cat has been sneezing and having diarrhea for almost an week.. He eats and drinks regularly and he is playful. He has been sleeping a lot and has sneezing fits at least 7x daily.. And when he starts sneezing, it is like 9x each fit. I have been giving him nose drops and been making sure he is warm. As for the diarrhea it is like water. Thanks

Your cat is suffering from an upper respiratory infection and very likely from a gastrointestinal infection as well. unfortunately there is no other way but taking him t the vet as he will need antibiotic treatment, otherwise he won't get better and might die.
