Sneezing and diarrhea?

18 14:50:39

Question
My grandmothers cat who is probably 7yrs(?) has been sneezing alot lately. She has also had diarrhea every few days for a few weeks with no change in food. Could this be serious? Or is it a common problem?

Answer
No, it's not a common problem unless the cat is sick with a virus. If the cat isn't vaccinated or current on her vaccinations she could have picked up an airborne virus from a cat in the neighborhood.

Your grandmother needs to take her to the vet for a check up so she doesn't get worse and get pneumonia.

I hope she gets well soon.
