Re: Antibiotic Hell..

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

A common question asked lately is about the Cat flu.

It's going around and more often than not a visit to your veterinarian will result in antibiotics.

But little else.

And its a virus..antibiotics are NOT effective.

In fact this approach can cause problems.

Reactions to the antibiotics..vomiting, diarrhea and severe allergic reactions..

Liver disease, immune mediated disease..

Resistance can develop to the antibiotic so it may NOT be effective when your pet needs it.

Does this Sound a little CRAZY to you?

But there is a better way..

Here are some BETTER options.

And it is going up.

The Flu..

SIGNS

The most obvious sign is a cat with a runny nose, often accompanied by swollen and runny eyes. Most cats will also be sneezing.

CAUSES

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.

SOLUTIONS

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 and Lemon Balm are the most important.

SUPPLEMENTS. Vitamin C has antiviral activity.

The more you read, the more you can see how CRAZY our pet health care system has become.

If your pet has a virus that won't respond to antibiotics, then DON'T give them.

But you've go to be aware of ALL the options.
