Question by Mooshi: What is causing mucus discharge from cat’s nose, no appetite, weight loss?
13 yr old male Tabby housecat. End of May he sneezed – then his nasal passages got congested. He had a “crackling” sound when breathing and loud snorting/snoring noise. Vet put him on Amoxi drops – continued treatment until July. He had a senior wellness exam and geriatric panel run. Never ran fever and the blood panel results were very good for a cat his age He began having nasal mucus discharge from his nostrils and as he could not smell, his appetite greatly decreased. Vet prescribed Cyproheptadine (antihistamine) Amoxi drops had no good results, no appetite, mucus draining and clogging nostrals. Put him on Cefa drops- caused diarrhea.. Has anyone had similar problem?
What is diagnosis, is it curable or is this a chronic sinus condition in cats? I constantly clean the mucus from his nose with wet warm cloth to clear air passages so he can breathe and maybe smell enough to eat some food. Thank you for any response.

I want a remedy for the snoring. Just something temporarily while I am working on losing the weight.

I sleep on my side to try and prevent the snoring, but my boyfriend says it’s obviously not working. *lol* When I’m on my back, I actually seem to have sleep apnea. (I don’t have insurance at this time, that’s why I need something OTC)
