My cat keeps sneezing and his nose bled. What's wrong and what to do?

Question

My cat has been sneezing for the past 6 days, since Monday 4/20. He has no other symptoms but sneezing. He had a scratch on the side of his nose and it scabbed over fine. Last night, 4/25, his nose bled for about ten seconds but not a lot. Why is he sneezing and what should I do?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Tigger. Itcould be he has a respiratory infection, and it's concerning that his nose was bleeding. He does need to see a vet for this in the morning, and I can give you some things you can do at home. Please know teethings I'm giving you cannot take the place of a vet visit. 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 instructions on the label based on your cat's weight. If he's congested, you can also try using a humidifier or bringing him into the bathroom with the door closed while you take a hot shower - the steam and humidity help to break up congestion and temporarily relieve symptoms associated with respiratory infections. I hope this helps!
