Is she is coughing and sneezing a lot, it would be best to have her evaluated by a veterinarian, as she may need some medications to help her. But to answer your question regarding why can be fed-- you can offer her canned cat food, canned tuna, cooked chicken. It may help to moisten the food with a little broth or water and warm it up to make it more aromatic. Good luck with her, thank you for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
