My old cat has runny nose, cough, sneezes. What to do, vet is hard?

Question

I have a cat about 12 or 13 years old. She has a very runny nose and sneezes alot. She has this ery bad hack or cough too.Its been going on a couple of months. I haven't taken her to the vet as she is very very extremely hard to pick up and would be really hard to get her into a carrier. she hides when she sees it. I struggled once in the past to get her into the carrier and believe me it was really really hard and it took two people. I am very worried about her and not sure what to do.

Hi, and thanks for your question. This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or possibly to a chronic 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. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. Please find the time to give us a feedback about the consultation as that will be used to improve our service.
