My cat won't stop sneezing and is drooling. What should I do?

To be safe, an exam with your veterinarian would be recommended. If it is a respiratory infection, Sam will need antibiotics to resolve it. Left untreated, it can progress to pneumonia. It may also be allergies which is not as serious a condition but is just as easily managed or treated. Chest x-rays may be required.

Poor Neptune! He could be suffering from dental problems, a respiratory infection, or allergies. All of these could cause the sneezing and drooling. I would have Neptune seen by a vet tomorrow for a physical exam, blood tests, and urinalysis. With these tests, the vet can diagnose what is causing his sneezing and drooling, and can discuss treatment options with you. If, for example, he had dental problems, then he would benefit from a dental cleaning, scaling, and polishing.

Poor Maizey! I would be concerned that she has a dental problem causing the sneezing, nasal discharge, drooling, and chewing motions that you are seeing. A dental problem such as a broken tooth or a tooth root abscess could be the cause of this, and it would lead to her drinking less water due to pain. I would have her seen by a vet for this today or tomorrow. The vet can examine her mouth, and discuss performing a dental cleaning, scaling, and polishing if needed. Good luck, I hope this helps!

It sounds like your vet diagnosed her with an upper respiratory infection. Depending on the virus that causes this, the signs can appear in the eyes, nose or mouth. There is a virus called calicivirus that can cause sneezing and ulcers in the mouth. These can be quite painful and make the cat not want to eat. I typically recommend feeding a canned diet so she can lap it up rather than chew it. A/D is a good diet for this. It is made by Hill's and is available by prescription through a veterinarian. I also will sometimes prescribe pain medication to keep them comfortable and eating while they have ulcers in their mouths. I would recommend calling your veterinarian in the morning to discuss these things. We don't want her to go too long without eating.

Hi, and thanks for your question. This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or possibly to a chronic rhinitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Yes, it does sound like Ginger is sick based on the symptoms you described. He could be suffering from allergies or a respiratory infection. I would have him seen by a vet today or tomorrow. The vet can diagnose what is causing his symptoms, and can prescribe treatment for him.

He could have an upper respiratory infection, dental problem, or other medical issue. It is impossible to know the cause without doing an examination. If he has an upper respiratory infection, it could be contagious to the other outside cats. Make sure you wash your hands and change clothing after handling him before touching your indoor cats. If possible, catch him and take him to a vet for an examine and treatment.
