HELP MY CAT!!!
Hello,
I have a cat and his name is Hendrix. He is about 10 months old. We recently left him with our neighbors and upon our return we discovered he has a strange discharge coming from his nose which is like a brown color. The membranes in his eyes are protruding upward almost making him look cross-eyed. He is very lethargic and is sleeping a lot. His eyes are very runny. Our neighbors that we had cat sit, have a cat and a pet rat. Their house smells really bad (like kitty crap and urine) so it probably wasn't the best place for him to stay. At any rate, we don't know what he may have or what to do because we are broke from the holidays and our cat needs some kind of assistance. Thanks |

He needs medicine. If youhave any leftover antibiotics in your house, from your own doctor, divide the dose you took in about 4 and give him the 1/4 dose once a day until you can get him to the Vet. Also smear some Neosporin up his nose couple times a day. Use cotton ball or tip of wascloth dipped in Bactine and wash his outer eyes (donot put it IN his eyes). If he werenot so sick for so long, this treatment would probably work within 24/48 hours. There is a disease called something like Rihno bla bla for which you couldhave gotten shots for him. When you take him to the Vet. you should maybe consider still getting him that shot, because i doubt hewill ever get over this (soon to become) chronic condition. Some kitties are like babies, they need their shots, while others seem to never get any illness. Your kitty, as you now know, is very human- like, so from now on you will do much better with his care . . . I think the breed and breeding has a lot to do with it a kitty's health. Truly Truth will set you free, said Jesus, in John 8:32. So does this mean weare in slavery? Yup. |

HELP MY CAT!!!
I had one of my male cats neutered at the local Humane Society in
Redding, CA and they sent him home with a terrible Respiratory Illness that spread over night to my other two cats. Haven Humane Society refused to treat my cat[s] and I panicked when they went into dark places to [die, I thought]. I ended up getting a pound of Tetracycline for farm animals for something like $5-6 bucks that was water soluble. A little bit goes a long way. In 3 days all my cats were back to normal. To play it safe I treated the water for ten (10) days. After the fifth (5th) day I cut the dose in half. I think a gram of tetracycline treats 1 gallon of water. I eventually just poured half the original dose into an empty gallon jug and topped-off each jug. Tetracycline is a broad spectrum antibiotic. Kind of what that other guy suggested. Change the water every day whether its treated or not. I clean or scoop my litter boxes twice daily also. If you can't get the meds in the nose like the other post suggested; just apply a little on their front paws. They'll lick it off and at the least ... get it into their system. I apply vitamin paste in this fashion since they fight me otherwise or ignore it on their bowls. |
