Why is my cat weak, sneezing, and breathing hard with watery eyes?

Poor Peanut! He may have an upper respiratory infection going on, or some other nasal/respiratory irritation, and due to his age and since steroids can affect the immune system, it would be best to bring him to your vet for an exam. They may need to put him on a course of antibiotics or other treatments to help him feel a bit better. Continuing to remove any debris that builds up and trying to entice him to eat as much as possible by warming up his food or adding in a little low-sodium chicken broth if he can handle it may help until you can get to your vet, but care ASAP is best.

This kitten should be examined by a vet. He has an upper respiratory infection - may be viral, like herpes, or bacterial. The vet will prescribe some antibiotics and some topicals for the eye. This is not something you can fix at home.

Thanks for hwlping this guy. He likely has an upper respiratory infection which can be a combination of viral and bacterial disease. Getting good nutrition into him is a start but many time these cats need antiviral or antibiotic medications. You can warm compress or wipe his eyes clean with a warm damp cloth. If a vet visit is possible I strongly recommend it to get the correct medications for him. In the meantime nursing and supportive care may help a lot. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/feline-upper-respiratory-infection Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

Poor guy. He sounds like he may have a severe upper respiratory infection and it is worrisome that he is also coughing. I would most certainly take him in to be seen. The vet will do a proper exam and testing (if needed) to determine the extent of the infection and also to make sure nothing more serious is going on here, such as asthma. I hope Bagotti feels better soon. Getting him seen today is ideal. Best wishes and take care.

This is probably an upper respiratory infection. it's very common in cats and is very contagious to other cats as well. It is treated with antibiotic eye drops/ointment and oral antibiotics for about 2 weeks. if left untreated many cats will end up blind or even die from the disease. I advise going to your vet asap to start the treatment right away.

Marsha could have a upper respiratory infection (basically a cold) or could have something going on with her heart or lungs. I'm assuming she's young based on her weight, and that, in combination with her watery eyes and sneezing, makes me more suspicious of the respiratory infection (but she would need a physical exam and possibly chest x-rays to be sure). Young cats get viral infections very commonly, and sometimes a bacterial infection starts after the virus is replicating. If it gets bad enough, she might need antibiotics, but sometimes just supportive care is enough. If she's lethargic and not eating, I would recommend a vet visit tomorrow. If she's unable to rest comfortably tonight, I would recommend going to an emergency clinic to make sure she's getting enough oxygen. Best of luck! I hope Marsha is feeling better soon. Let me know if this was helpful information and thanks for using Boop by Petco!

It looks like Kitty might have an upper respiratory infection causing conjunctivitis. A viral infection is most common, although secondary bacterial infections can also occur. A scratch on the surface of the eye could also cause redness and discharge but would not cause sneezing. I would recommend seeing your veterinarian for an exam. They can check for a scratch on the cornea or prescribe medications to treat a respiratory infection.

Breathing difficulties should always be checked by a vet as they can rapidly deteriorate. It sounds like he has developed a severe respiratory infection and will possibly require anti-inflammatories, antibiotics and even medication to loosen the mucus

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Difficult breathing can be a sign of many conditions such as pneumonia, bronchitis, heart disease, among many other possibilities. This could also be the result of an upper respiratory infection. I do not recommend continuing antibiotics at home without further veterinary care as her symptoms are unlikely to improve without knowing what is going on. Inappetence in cats can be very concerning as it can be detrimental to their health, more so than in dogs. I recommend that you have Oliver evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Likely diagnostics to be performed include thoracic radiographs and bloodwork. Treatment would be dependent on findings. Good luck and have a good day!

Sometimes colds don't go away on their own, and I would have him seen by a vet. He may need medications to treat his symptoms, and the vet can prescribe that. It also sounds like he has an eye infection, and those are considered quite serious because leaving them untreated can lead to vision loss. That requires an immediate trip to the vet, and if you don't want to assume financial responsibility for him, you can take him to the SPCA. They can treat his symptoms, and can find a home for him. If you do want to take him to the vet, I would have him seen ASAP. There is few things you can do at home for him that will work well in conjunction with medications from the vet. First, you can try starting him on an L-lysine supplement - this is an amino acid that has been shown to help the immune system fight off respiratory infections more effectively. Enisyl and Viralys are both good brands, and can be purchased over the counter without a prescription - just follow the dosing instructio
