Happy Cats

Re: The Natural Cure for Cat Flu.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This condition is one of the MOST frequently asked about questions on my Blog at www.veterinarypetcare.com/askavetblog.html

The most obvious sign is a cat with a runny nose, often accompanied by swollen and runny eyes.

Most cats will also be sneezing.


SO What causes it??

Two feline viruses are responsible for most cases of cat flu. Some cats can be infected as kittens and constantly harbor the virus, making them prone to repeated infections. In most cases, the virus will run its course in 7-10 days, so supportive care is needed.

What Can I do At Home??

KEEP HER EATING. One of the best ways to help your cat's immune system is by ensuring adequate food intake. Warm up her favorite canned food, or add a small amount (1/8 teaspoon) of garlic. If her regular food isn't appetizing, then switch to canned tuna.

ORDER UP FLORIDA. Humidity is fabulous for easing congestion and improving breathing. Use a humidifier or put your cat in the bathroom and turn up the shower.

WIPE AWAY. Use a damp cloth to wipe crusted discharge around the nose and eyes.

OPEN THE AIRWAYS. For some cats with severe nasal congestion I have used Pediatric Otrivin. Use one drop in each nostril 3 times daily for 3-5 days.

HERBAL. Boosting the immune system is what is most important in recovering from the flu. ECHINACEA is the most important. Lemon Balm has antiviral activity and is also very effective.
