My parents cat is sneezing or coughing, and when she does she has large amounts of bright red blood coming out of her nose. She is an older cat who is probably in her mid teens. Her appetite is still good. Can you help?

She probably has a nasal polyp causing the sneezing and coughing. This baby really needs to go into the vet in the morning to be evaluated. It may be a simple upper respiratory infection, but she will need antibiotics to clear that up also. Please let me know what the vet finds.
