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
