What if my cat's nose is running with blood?
Your cat may have contracted the herpes virus, also known as feline rhinotracheitis. The pathogen of feline rhinotracheitis is the feline herpesvirus, which causes upper respiratory tract damage in cats infected with the virus. Symptoms include runny nose, sneezing, loss of appetite, increased body temperature, red conjunctiva, and increased eye secretions.
Treatment of rhinorrhea caused by feline herpesvirus
Feline rhinotracheitis is a viral infection. If conditions permit, the best treatment is to take your cat to a pet hospital for fluid administration, which tends to be more effective. If treatment at home is necessary for the time being, it is recommended to first use feline herpesvirus specific eye drops, which have a good effect on the inflammation caused by feline herpesvirus. Choose pet-specific eye drops containing antiviral cytokines, albumin, and other ingredients, applying them three times daily,每次2滴,for a total of 7 days. Combine this with oral administration of a pet-specific antiviral oral solution. It is recommended to choose an oral solution containing ingredients such as oligosaccharides and pyridoxine methionine, applying it twice daily for 14 days. You can also supplement your cat with pet-specific immune factors to assist in treatment. Choose immune factors containing ingredients such as lactose, propolis, avocado powder, and enzymatically hydrolyzed chicken powder, increasing your cat's resistance and immunity, applying twice daily for 7 days.
Prevention of rhinorrhea caused by viral infection
In your cat's daily care, it is recommended to vaccinate your cat in its youth to prevent infectious diseases.
Additionally, pay attention to providing your cat with nutritious food to enhance its resistance.
Avoid contact and play with cats infected with infectious diseases, and isolate them immediately if infected to prevent other cats from becoming infected.
