We have a new cat and he has started sneezing and has a wet nose. Is this something that will get better on its own or do we need to see the vet. The cat is acting fine, no discharge from his eyes and eating and drinking well.

when our cat came home from a week long stay at the vets office he sneezed like crazy for about a week. the vet told us if theres no drainage from the eyes or nose not to be concerned. i would give the vet a call at the very least, they don't charge for over the phone advise! then you may be able to avoid that office visit cost, if the vet says he does not need to be seen.

Well, I would keep an eye on it. If you start spotting discharge from the eyes, or you notice that he isn't eating or drinking enough, then you need to get him to the vet. Sometimes cats are allegetic to something.

No, probably just a small cat cold. He will be fine. If it doesnt go away within 3 days then call the vet and ask.

watch him. if he starts sneezing and has discharge from nose/eyes then he needs to see a vet. ours sneezes at least 5 x a day, no discharge, he takes after me, i sneeze at least 10x a day. cats are like us,when we get dust up our noses we sneeze. congratulations on the new furry addition to your family

It could be a respitory infection. If you just got the cat and don't know much about him, then take him to the vet just to be safe.

I would take your cat in and have the vet put her/him on antibiotics. It's better to be safe than sorry with cats and upper respiratory infections. They are hard to get rid of once they have really set in. It's better to nip it in the bud.

You should take him to the vet so he can give your cat medicine to make him better.

I would suggest calling the vet's office and asking them over the phone if they feel it necessary to see him.
That way you have peace of mind that you have asked, and might save you a consult fee if they don't really need to see him.
Hope he gets better soon :-)

You can call your vet and ask them what you can give him to speed up the healing process, i know you can give something to them . My aunt said something about a vitamin or oil. She always gave it to hers.
