Cat Sneezing And Coughing
Some of my cats get colds in the winter months. It generally starts with my cat sneezing a lot, and they are very lazy. Most of my cats get over their cat colds in about four days with no treatment. Suppose your cat does not want to eat with his cold; feed him canned tuna in water. He will be able to smell the tuna. Run a humidifier in your home for a little extra moisture in your air will help your cat’s congestion. Let your cat in the bathroom while you shower, as the steam, will help open up his plugged sinuses. Ensure your sick cat has plenty of fresh water to drink, which will help with their congestion and dry throat. My cat Garfunkel caught a cold and started coughing and wheezing. I gave him some antibiotics from my Vet, and he is no longer sleepy now and is back to his old self again. Keep an eye on your cat for trouble breathing if his lungs are expanding up and down too quickly; Your cat may need an inhaler to help him live. Take him to your Vet ASAP. Cats’ colds can be viral but can soon turn into bacterial illnesses. If left untreated, your cat could die.
Respiratory Problems In Cats
A cat can get so congested that he has to breathe through his mouth. My cat Kohl was born with respiratory problems and had to get an antibiotic shot about once every five weeks. If he did not get his shots, he would be sleeping constantly and unable to walk far without lying started his antibiotic attempts when he was 11.5 years old. Kohl is thirteen years old now. When Kohls’s nose gets crusted over, and he sneezes constantly, I know it is time for another antibiotic shot.
Cat Colds With Several Cats In Your Home
If one cat gets a cold in your home, some other cats will also get a cold. My cat Maggie next door is 13 years old, and she caught a cold she was not getting over; I took her to my Vet, and he gave her an antibiotic shot, and she was over her cold in about four days. Cali caught a cold later but recovered in only four days without treatment.
Keep Your Sick Cat Warm
Keep your cat out of any drafty areas in your home. If you have a heated cat bed, let your cat sleep in it. Lay out some thick terry towels for your cat to curl up in. If you have a little heater, plug it in, and your cat will enjoy the extra warmth. Let your cat lay on your nice warm lap. Cats like lying beside fireplaces and curling up in a tight little ball. Lay out some cat blankets, and your cat can make a lovely little nest. I hope your feline friends quickly get over their colds and are healthy and happy again soon.
