My cat has been sneezing frequently, and occasionally rubbing his nose. There's a small amount of discharge coming from his left eye, but not more than normal. He's shown symptoms for about 4 days, but it's only started to be alarming to me today; he's been sleeping a lot, and generally lethargic. I gave him some treats, which he ate, but not before sneezing a few times, and he was a lot slower to eat them up than normal.
I'm wondering if I should treat this as an emergency, or wait a few days to see if his symptoms reside. I read that vets suggest L-Lysine for cats that have upper respiratory infections, I have that on hand (haven't given it to him yet). If I were to put a small amount (250 mg?) in some wet food would that harm him? He's a very big Maine Coon.
Sorry if this post is redundant to any other posts around, I just figured I'd seek out some more personal advice before taking any further actions.
Thank you, and Happy New Year!
