Can you suggest a medicine in liquid form to be given through milk or cat food for cold and flu. Cat is having running nose, cough, bad throat and sneezing.

I'm so sorry to hear about what is going on with Kitty. Unfortunately, all of the medications we recommend are generally prescriptions that need to be dispensed by your family veterinarian. If your cat has an upper respiratory infection, there are some liquid options available like Clavamox or Amoxicillin. Please have Kitty seen by your vet so they can prescribe the appropriate medication.
