Why is my cat violently sneezing with yellow discharge all the time?
Updated On September 23rd, 2025
Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 8 months and 16 days old | 10 lbs
He violently sneezes all the time. A yellow mucus sparks everywhere. I treated him twice with the gel that you put in the eyes. That cleared up the runny eyes. However the sneezing never went away. What would cause this?

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach. Apollo may have an upper respiratory infection which can be bacterial or viral. Or in some cases cats can have a polyp growing in their nasal passages. I recommend a veterinary visit for Apollo as many cases of Feline upper respiratory disease can require medication to clear up. Here's a bit more info. https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951489 https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951824 https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952636

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Hairy. It is not normal for a cat to sneeze and have nasal discharge for so long. Has he had a course of antibiotics yet? A bad respiratory tract infection can cause these symptoms and some will require extended treatment with antibiotics. If this does not help, then I would consider advanced dental disease. An infection around the root of a tooth can cause these symptoms as well. Lastly, cats can come down with fungal infections in the nasal cavity. I hope this information helps!
