What causes a cat's runny nose?
A cat that has a runny nose may have a cold, or it may be because the cat is infected with rhinitis or rhinitis. Since the early symptoms of these diseases are relatively similar, it is recommended that owners take their cats to the pet hospital for examination in time and receive symptomatic treatment based on the cat’s symptoms. It is not recommended that owners go to pharmacies to buy human medicine for cats. This will not only delay the condition but may also cause poisoning of cats.
1. Cold
If the cat’s runny nose is watery, it is most likely a common cold. At this time, the owner only needs to feed the cat special cold medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine for pets. In addition, during the period of recovery from a cold, the owner also needs to pay attention to keeping the cat warm to prevent the cold from exacerbating the cold. At the same time, the owner needs to provide the cat with nutritious and balanced food to improve the body's resistance.
2. Cat nasal branch
If your cat has yellow nasal discharge and is accompanied by symptoms such as listlessness, loss of appetite, sneezing, watery eyes, elevated body temperature or even fever, it is likely to be infected with feline nasal congestion. At this time, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital for PCR as soon as possible for diagnosis. When the cat is diagnosed with rhinal bronchus, lysine needs to be used to inhibit virus replication, and antibiotics also need to be used to prevent secondary bacterial infection.
3. Rhinitis
If the cat only has a few runny noses but sneezes frequently, it is most likely rhinitis caused by bacterial infection, the influence of cold weather, dust in the air, etc. Because the initial symptoms are very similar to respiratory infections, feline infectious rhinotracheitis, and feline calicivirus, it is recommended that owners take their cats to the pet hospital for infectious disease examination and blood tests, and then treat them symptomatically based on the examination results. If it is just a simple Rhinitis, then anti-inflammation and anti-infection can generally achieve good results.
