There's a greenish bluish discharge around my kittens nose?

Question

Is that normal, I just noticed it today. I switched his cat food to indoor food, I am not sure if it's from that or when my little brother picked him up and through him over a little balcony and he scratched up his nose and it bleed. But that was about two to three weeks ago. He is acting normal but I am scared it could be worse?

Answer 1

I suspect that your cat has a viral upper respiratory infection with a secondary bacterial infection.  Antibiotics usually help control the bacterial infection, and the cat’s immune system usually defeats the viral infection on its own. Some cats, however, have trouble defeating the viral infection and may require medication for this. Lysine is an amino acid that helps treat herpes virus infections, and is available as a veterinary preparation. Famciclovir is a relatively new antiviral drug that has shown excellent efficacy at treating herpes viral infections. You should use it. Better is to show kitty to a doctor.
