Cat congestion

ok:

Get out the Vicks and a vaporiser, if you have one. If you don't, set her in a small bathroom in a carrier and run the shower very hot, or use a kettle. Get some steam happening.

You mentioned respiratory meds...does this include antihistamines? Many cats can benefit from a small amount of human Benadryl or etc, but check the dosage with your vet! (Someone here might know the correct dose!)

Get an ionizing air filter. They help allergies in humans, and might help the air for Cassie.

If you have a diffuser, use it with Tea Tree oil in it...great antiseptic in the air.

I hope she is better soon!

In the past I've created a steam bath environment in the bathroom. I basically have both the shower and sink run hot water so it creates a warm steam. I lock the door and sit there with my cats for awhile. That has helped in the past.

Have you tried any holistic things like Bachs or there is that other brand that comes in a blue tube...I forget the name but I know Whole Foods sells it.

cassiemarie - just in case, go to www.imom.org and see if you would qualify for any help. I don't know about testing - but they help with surgeries.

I am NOT saying Cassie will need this - I am just saying have a look in case you need it one day, you will know it's there.
