You I’ve had jake for 4 yrs-shelter cat- he’s always been one to sneeze here and there but last night and into today he is sneezing more than normal. No discharge from nose or eyes. Sometimes he paws at his mouth while he’s sneezing. Not his nose but his mouth. He is eating and drinking fine. Playing a little less than normal. Should I wait it out for a few days? Leave work and go to vet now lol? Give him fish mox that I give the feral cats? I just don’t know what to do or what to look for.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Jake. He may have an upper respiratory tract infection based on his increased sneezing recently. As long as he is eating, drinking and acting normally, then it should be fine to monitor him for another 24-48 hours. If his symptoms are not resolving or he brings acting ill, then he will need to see his veterinarian. Good luck!
