Why is my 5-month-old kitten wobbly, shaking, and sneezing blood?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | unspayed | 2 lbs

My kitten ash is about 5 to 6 months old and 2 weeks ago he started walking almost like he was drunk but after 4 days was almost completely back to normal. He shakes in his sleep but I’m not sure if it’s bad dreams or seizures and today he has watery eyes and when he sneezes blood comes out

It sounds as though Ash may have rhinitis (inflammation of the nose) and it may be secondary to a respiratory infection. I would recommend having Ash examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
