Cats with Colds

Anyone know what to do about this. All five of my cats apparently have head colds. Each of them have been sneezing, a few have been coughing, one even seems to have watery eyes. So far all five appear to still be eating and still seem a playful as before. Yes, these are outdoor cats and no doubt the cold isn't helping matters. Also, the air quality in my area isn't that good either. It seems like a whole lot of people are having sinus issues. Anyway, should I be concerned about this, and what should I look out for. Thank you for any advice you can give me.

 

If you notice a bump start to form on any of their noses, talk to a vet as this could be a sign of a sinus infection. Also if they sneeze any green or yellow snot.

 

Agree with Cassie, sinus infections in cats are something really serious that a vet need to treat. So stay alert and try to see if their condition worsens.

The information above might be useful. I don't remember Twinkle ever having a cold but it obviously happens. The topics raised in these forums help to really prepare us to cope with issues we never really gave serious thought to sometimes.

 

Also check their noses if they are wet and not pale. They should be able to get better on their own, or maybe they just need some heat

 

If you have a cat that is coughing, you need to take it to the vet. If discharge coming from the nose or eyes is not perfectly clear, infection could be present. Your cats might need an antibiotic to be on the safe side. If any of these cats stops drinking or eating, go to the vet right away. Cats health can deteriorate rapidly.
