I see you are from AZ so I'm guessing you are not heating your house much...however dry air can be hard on noses when the nose-owner has a cold....
hope you all feel better soon.
Thanks for the suggestion. The vet did suggest this very thing by secluding him to the bathroom and having some steam in there. Gable does seem a bit better and I haven't seen as much blood or sneezing.
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers
