How can I make my cat more comfortable?
Hi,
My cat had a corneal ulcer (now healed) and has a sequestrum (becoming thinner) this year. Last week he started sneezing and, although the vet hasn't committed herself to a diagnosis, I'm assuming that the most likely reason for this is FHV. He's on a short course of antibiotics and we are already giving him lysine and interferon for his eye problems. His was last vaccinated in October 2003. At the moment he's looking a bit pathetic. Sneezing, snuffly and his eyes look sore. He's still eating and drinking fortunately. I'd really like to know what else I can do to make this and future episodes more comfortable. He has a comfy warm place to lie and I use a humidifer. What about herbal remedies? Saline drops? I've read a little about these things online but I'm not sure what to do. I feel helpless just letting this run its course. thanks for reading, D |

I would definitely not vaccinate him any further. At the moment he's looking a bit pathetic. Sneezing, snuffly and his eyes look sore. He's still eating and drinking fortunately.

If you're in the U.S., there is a state by state listing of holistic vets at www.altvetmed.com. They would be able to help you with natural remedies.

Thanks for the reply. I'm in the UK and I've managed to find a
local(ish) holistic vet who I may consult in the future. My cat is now feeling and looking a lot better. Denise |
