What are the symptoms of cat rhinitis? Cat rhinitis is a relatively common disease, but for many novice poop collectors, they are not very familiar with the symptoms of cat rhinitis, so today I will introduce it to you.

Introduction to symptoms of cat rhinitis

At the beginning of the disease, the nasal mucosa appears flushed, dry, and swollen. Due to itchy mucous membranes, sick cats often scratch their noses with their front paws, shake their heads and retreat, sneeze frequently, and cough slightly. Exfoliation of the skin around the nostrils may occur. When the nostrils are blocked by excrement or scabs, shortness of breath occurs and mouth breathing occurs. Often accompanied by conjunctivitis, blindness and tearing may be seen. Tonsillitis and pharyngitis are also often associated.

The course of the disease is long, and the condition may be mild or severe, with long-term purulent nasal discharge, pigmented grooves commonly seen on the side of the nose, and in severe cases, nasal mucosa ulceration. When accompanied by paranasal sinusitis, bone necrosis and tissue disintegration are often caused, and the nasal fluid may be mixed with blood and emit a putrid smell. In severe cases, it is difficult to breathe, requiring mouth breathing, and paroxysmal wheezing occurs.
