Have you tried using a nebulizer? And, there is a prescription the doc could 
write to use in the nebulizer - I don't know what the name of it might be 
though - I use a mixture of sterilizer water (3 cc) , Tylan (1 cc)  and 
Neomycin (2 cc) 
I use this for URI

Less likely to be cancer if it started with both nostrils.  In November I 
thought my Noelle had a respiratory infection.  She had bloody mucous coming 
from only 1 nostril.  We went through several antibiotics which didn't help, 
until finally she had a full oral exam under anesthesia.  Needle aspirations 
were taken of a lump that was found, plus of her enlarged lymph nodes.  All 
three samples came back showing cancer.  

Clindamycin is supposed to be the best antibiotic for sinus infections, but it 
is also the absolutely most nasty tasting.  Flavorings or sweeteners barely 
make a dent in the bitter taste of liquid clindamycin.  If you have some, put a 
tiny drop on your tongue, and you'll find out fast why your cat fights it!  The 
only thing that helps with the bitter taste is to eat or drink something 
immediately afterwards.  I think we went through at least 4 different 
antibiotics with Noelle.  Might have been 5.  If antibiotics don't seem to do 
anything, then a full oral exam under anesthesia, or CT scan if you can afford 
it and kitty doesn't have other health issues.  Or maybe an endoscopic sinus 
exam if there is someone in your area that can do that and has the equipment.  

As others mentioned, humidifying the air might help no matter what the ultimate 
cause of the bloody discharge.

Hey folks 

Coco went through a bad time last year where she would not eat, dropped a lot 
of weight.  We got her started eating again and she has gained 1/2 pound - from 
6.0 to 6.5 (she is a small cat, but I'd rather see her at 7). 

Anyway, she is now sneezing blood.  I took her in to the vet Saturday and he 
tried one antibiotic, took her back on Wed and he gave her another antibiotic, 
which I am probably going to have to go rebuy tomorrow as I've managed to lose 
the bottle. 

Anyway - she is now sneezing blood and has a very little bit of dried matter in 
the corners of her eyes.  She is eating, drinking, pottying, playing fine.  But 
she is still sneezing blood - sometimes a fine spray and sometimes hunks of 
bloody mucus which is very unnerving. 

Has anyone had to deal with this? 

Kelley and Coco

Re: [Felvtalk] Coco sneezing blood

[Lee Evans]

If you are living in a cold and dry area with central heating, sneezing blood, 
especially red, fresh looking blood in no great quantity, would not be unusual. 
That type of heat really dries out the mucous membrane on animals and humans.I 
always get blood when I blow my nose. This is a Winter thing even in relatively 
warm South Texas. If she is eating, drinking, pooping and all the rest of the 
things that healthy cats do, then it's probably a result of the heat, 
especially if she does not have a fever or any signs of other distress.I would 
get a vaporizer to add moisture to the air and see if that helps. The eye 
crusts are most likely oxidized tears. Some cats get that more than others, 
especially white cats who show it more. I usually wet a cotton ball and wipe it 
off gently.  

Also, sneezing is a good sign. You don't want a cat stuffed up and wheezing, 
unable to smell her food. Better out than in. However, if the vet thinks it's 
something more serious than dry air, you should follow whatever instructions he 
gives. Antibiotics are hard on the liver of a health compromised cat.
