Cat's often succumb to upper respiratory infections causing them to have cold-like symptoms: runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, lack of appetite. A cat that has nasal congestion also cannot smell and that can make them not want to eat. Here's a few easy things you can do to help them feel better!

Thank you so much for calming me and my kitty cat. He had a little cold right now he’s been sneezing and sniffling all day for the past few days and he so sleepy. I was worried bc I thought his condition was fatal and I can’t afford to take him to the vet just yet. But he’s doing a little better and I’m comforting him through this crappy time

Hi there, I am so happy to hear your kitten is doing better and that these tips were helpful. If he's still congested try putting him in a steamy bathroom for a while, too. That can really help and the kitties find it soothing!

My cat has the worst sinus issues. When we adopted him from the humane society they said he’d been there 2 years bc nobody wanted a sneezing and wheezing cat. But he’s just the sweetest baby I’ve ever had. He lays in my arms like a baby every night. Prob is, nothing works for him that the vet has given him. I started using a humidifier with eucalyptus and that gives him more comfort. I’m going to get some saline and try that. He hates his face touched so good luck to me in this one. Thanks so much for the video!

With sick cats, 250 milligrams lysine 2x per day seems to help quite a bit... adding 200 milligrams daily to their food seems to help prevent URI and even UTI to some extent. It tastes pretty salty, so you might have to add it to a strong flavor (a little beef gravy for example) for your cat to want to eat it. It's a very affordable and easy to find supplement

Hey, thanks for making this video. I've never had a cat as a pet before but my landlord preferred if I did not get a large dog. Went to the shelter and adopted an old cat that had been there for a while. It worked out nicely because he wanted a home and he helps me out with my PTSD. Anyways, when I got him he was overweight and I had to put him on a diet plan from the vet. He is always vocal about food and when I noticed he wasn't finishing his food I started to worry. He became reclusive and then very quiet. I'm still going to take him into the vet tomorrow but this video got me thinking about his lack of sense of smell. I bought some canned soft food that has a potent smell and once I opened the can he meowed. Made me happy to hear his meow again and now he's eating. Anyways, thanks for posting this. Its given me ideas to helps him eat and maybe comfort him.

My cat has same thing. A chronic virus. Many rounds of antibiotics. He also does a l-lysine chew daily of 500mg. Best price is online. I break it into pieces and he gets in morning. Stress is a huge factor. I don’t leave him home alone anymore. He always has someone to come and visit or check on him. Great friends so he only goes a day alone if I need to travel. He gets a lot of love as the only pet. Last year was very hard when I fostered two dogs. Never again. That really triggered him and it’s been steady with symptoms ever since. Keep house clean. Diet is key he is on a limited Ingredient diet reduced allergies and he has IBS. He hates taking antibiotics and vomits after so he never quite gets over it.

Thank you this is very helpful. I also put my cat in the carrier case, place a hot bowl of water in front of the cage door, throw a towel over the whole thing and make a tent, like e little steam room for them. I let them stay there for about 15 mins to let them breathe, warm humidified air. They always calm down when I do this and they choose to stay in the cage even after I've opened the door for them.

Kitten School Hi! my cat has a pretty bad URI right now and we can't give him any medicine because he is going to have his heart tested in two weeks. Is the saline safe for him? I have three of my cats that have it right now and only one is antibiotics. I would just like to help them breathe a little better. I think the steam showers are helping but not enough. Thanks!
@KittenSchool
@KittenSchool 7 жыл бұрын
DISCLAIMER: I am not a vet. However, I believe that the plain saline should be fine to use on your kitty for his stuffy nose. Just be sure to go slow - especially if he has heart issues - so as not to stress him too much during the process. Steam showers are good, but the saline helps a lot and can get them to sneeze, which forces out any clogged passages. You can safely use saline drops a few times a day. They hate it when the drops are being put in but it seems to help them in the long run. Good luck to you and your kitty!!!

I have a four week old kitten group that was brought to my rescue at birth with mommy. They said mommy became very angry and dangerous around their young children, which tends to happen with young kids and cute kitties. Now it is spreading around my rescue like wild fire and only two of the kittens are considered really sick. One of them just started having breathing issues today and is struggling to sneeze cause she is so stuffy and her poor ribs hurt and are tender from having issues trying to breathe. So I am very grateful for your videos you have on here. They are very helpful right now. I have had one of my kittens who is four weeks older pass away from refusing to allow help he attacked us frequently and caused damage more to us than his self, but he did not pull through in the end due to fear. This is very helpful. You should do a video on hot to treat kitties with fevers and how to handle those types of situations.

Also, used saline in her nose, she hated it at first, but it seems to be working. also gave her a little brushing today she was covered in grass and twigs and didn't seems to be grooming herself. i got her some L-lysine treats for immune support but she refuses to take them -___-. but at least shes back to eating and i think she will be totally fine it just takes some time :)) glad i watched this video to confirm i was doing everything right! yes!!

Great video! Thank you for sharing. We asked the vet to flush it out, but he is still a little runny on one side of nostril. He is better, but still a little bit congested. He is on anti-biotics as well. It is scary though.

Hello, my Persian cat seems to have a persistent cold that just won't go away. We have been to the vet numerous times and are now on the 3rd round of antibiotics to no avail. She has a great appetite and grooms, so I know she's still able to smell and doesn't feel terrible. I use a few drops of eucalyptus in our diffuser in the room she likes as it's supposed to help breathing. She's a Persian so gets eye and nose wipes multiple times daily, I don't know if her cold is a result of the flat nose or what else I can do to get rid of the bacteria. Any advice?

@@KittenSchool thank you and you’re not gonna believe what happened to cause this in March I witnessed him throwing up I don’t know if it was a hairball or ? Seems he got a piece of dry food stuck in his back nasal/sinus? . He only gets a couple tablespoons of Young Again zero carb dry food as a treat throughout the day. But when he threw up he was kind of aspirating trying to clear his nose and clear his lungs it was so scary for him & me. Well three days later he started sneezing and draining from his right nasal passages. So I took him to the vet she said well he’s an indoor cat so it can’t be an obstruction. And I said well it might be some dry food got stuck in his nasal passages. And I told her what I had witnessed. So she put him on some anabiotic that started with a V and that did zero. So I opted for a nasal flush which seemed so brutal to heal from. She was telling me he may sneeze blood I was like freaking out thankfully he never sneezed blood but he did have some dried blood on the end of his nose for three days and I kept removing softly with a warm wet soft Kleenex But after the third day he was doing really well. But by the sixth day he was back with bubbling right nasal passage and at least it’s clear. But it’s only on the right side and so the vet put him on Doxy for 10 days by the seventh day I noticed a little bit of improvement so on the 10th day I emailed her if we should do another round so she put him on another half a round of Doxy. Seems he’ll have a good day & he’ll have runny bubbly days and oh I forgot to mention taking him to the vet about his nasal passage they found out he has a heart murmur. He’s a rescue Maine coon mix. Anyway they wanted to do a heart scan and they found out that at this point it’s not hurting him which is good news. When he came home from the vet which was his second time in a few days he really wanted me to hold him I was holding him and loving him and a piece of dry food came out of his nose! Now it was by now soft and it was scary but I did get it out and I just wonder how much is left up there. I’m wondering if his body is trying to encapsulate whatever is up there and making some kind of tumor or something it’s just got my mind blown I don’t know what to do. So that’s an ongoing struggle and I thought by doing little remedies saline infant formula would be mild enough. And the vet approved that I didn’t know you could use full strength. Just want to get him well.

My cat has had to take Doxycycline for long periods of time. It smells & tastes horrible. One thing I have discovered is that it can actually be hidden when mixed in Fancy Feast Salmon Pate. I wouldn’t feed my cat this food all the time but it works really well to hide medicine in. Makes it much less traumatizing for kitty. Keeps everyone calmer ☺️

I also used a nasal aspiration to suction out excess mucus, it works well. I. Remove excess mucus around the nose, and then apply a thin layer of baseline prior to the suctioning.

Another suggestion is to try an all natural cat vitamin. Balanced Breed is a great company. They make all natural vitamins for cats and they contain good ingredients (not extra fillers) with lysine included. Lysine is great for cat cold prevention and help!! Highly recommend. Let me know if you try it

Thank you that was helpful info. I collect strays and besides getting rabies and fixing them it's hard to afford. My poor sweet Penny Love has a cold an it's heartbreaking because she's the only nice furbaby that I have at the moment. One question. I'm aware that it's not really a cat cold but an upper respiratory issue. Can my other cat and dog catch anything from Penny Love.

Hi there, thanks for advices you are giving.I’ve got three months old kitten, little rescue who’s been sneezing on and off. He is very active healthy boy he eats properly without any issues. Up to date with this vaccines. Could it be the fact that he is getting used to the smell in the new house and we also have a ten months old puppy she is up to date with the all her vaccines. What can I use for him, his nose is not blocked it’s just sneezing. Should I be concerned? Thanks

My 18yo cat is susceptible to URI... I've found l-Lysine is helpful for him when he gets these every other year. Now if I could just cure arthritis.... his little bag legs don't work so good anymore.... he must be in some pain. Breaks my heart.

Hi, I have a cat who I brought home that I really have any history of, but last week she became very lethargic, wouldn't eat, and was coughing and making a lot of that racket, and the vet said URTI, and gave her an antibiotic shot, as well as tested her for feline leukemia, which was negative. This was almost 5 days ago, and since I got her home, have had her isolated in the front bedroom, because I have another cat I didn't want sick too. He has been very unhappy he can't see her, and she is much better, eating , drinking, using the litter box, and I was wondering if I should continue to keep them apart, since she is only occasionally coughing. She never did show signs of her eyes or nose being affected, I saw no discharge or anything. Thank you.

OMG!! I wish I had this a week ago!! I have 4 cats and they have been getting sick in sequence. The first 2 are nearly fully recovered. Now the hard part!! A Norwegian Forest cat with a hole in his heart & heart failure. I’ve been up since yesterday working on him. He’s got a long way to go and I’m trying to avoid a drive to the vet an hour away. Dr is preserving antibiotics since he’s her heart patient. These along with a humidifier should help a whole bunch. 🤞🤞

doxycycline made one of my cats so ill she wouldn't eat. i had to force feed her each time I gave her a dose to protect her stomach. She had Hemobartonella and had high fever but the doxycyline made her worse in that it messed up her stomach so bad she wouldn't eat. She eventually got better.

Hi Zara! Here's a video I did a while back about caring for a kitty with an eye infection. Antibiotics is the best treatment for eye infections, but there are things you can do at home to help curb an infection. Keeping the eyes clean is one, and here's where I show how to do that. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qqp3rceGubvIfn0.html

We APPRECIATE IT! Because, everything on the internet says take your cat to the Vet; and a visit would put us in the homeless shelter costing $1500 for a complete panel to diagnose and more on top for treatment: little mounts of 'how to' add up to 'know how' and we're gratefullll...

Hi Noel, you are welcome! I appreciate your comment because one of the things I try to do through my videos is help people (when possible) to treat their cats at home. I know how prohibitive vet visits can be from experience, and I also know that many people simply cannot afford a vet. And many of my viewers live in places where there are no vets at all! So I am glad that my advice can help. How is your kitty doing now?
