My cat's sneezing for weeks, nose bleeding. When to see a vet?

Question

Hello, My cat has been sneezing for a couple of weeks, and his voice went away a little. I thought he had a little cat cold that would go away on its own. He has been sneezing less and his voice sounds a bit better, but on Friday, my mom noticed that his nose looked weird, and today one side of his nose looks really bad. It was bleeding yesterday after he went outside. I was just wondering if we should be concerned. Will this go away on its own? (1st pic- Sat; 2nd pic- today) Thanks. Pet's info: Cat | Russian Blue | Male | neutered | 23 lbs

Since this has bene going on for a while, I would get it checked by your vet as soon as possible. It could be a cold, he could have sneezed some particle of foreign material up into his nasal cavity, he could have a polyp in his nose, there's no way to know for sure without an exam with your vet. The greenish tinge to the discharge may mean he already has an infection going on. Your vet will do an exam, possibly lab work and/or x-rays to determine what's going on and based on these results will be better able to tell you what's wrong and give you treatment options.
