Sky Will Be Going To The Vet On Fri. Unless He Gets Worse

[Catty1]

Hugs and prayers for poor Sky!

Ask the vet if there is a small dose of antihistamine you can give him meanwhile. And my guess is that since he is sneezy and there is goop, that he is a bit drier than usual, so his drinking more water is a good thing.

If your bathroom is small, you could close the door and run the shower hot - 'steaming' might help him, or a vaporizer with Vicks where he usually sleeps.

Will be keeping my fingers crossed for Friday.

Thanks Candace. I forgot to add that I already tried putting him in my bathroom today while I was taking a shower. He became very stressed out and just wanted out of there. I think it may have helped him a little bit but it didn't last very long.
I've also given him Chlortimatron sp? allergy tablets in the past and they didn't do much good. He was also put on another type of allergy tablet in the past and it seemed to help a little bit. I hate to have to medicate him too. Storm and Starr are already on herbal meds and Starr's also still on pred.

Maybe there's an herbal remedy out there for allergies. I'd rather try this than something else. I'll have to ask my holistic vet about Sky's problem when I see her on Jan.3rd.

Hi Sky, take a wee rest, and let the white coats help you feel better quickly tomorrow! Prayers for Sky from RI.

Vita gets URIs almost constantly. We are lucky to go 6 weeks between bouts. No FIV /FeLV, just a herpes virus that likes residing in her body.

Until you can get Sky in to the vet, squirt some saline nasal spray in his nose. It's inexpensive and you can get it at any pharmacy or even a discount store. When my Pidge got that sneezing jag several months ago, she sneezed so hard and often that she got a nose bleed. After a vet visit, my dr. told me about saline nasal spray and it really helped. It will soothe the nasal passages and also decrease the amount of sneezing. Good luck and I hope you come home w/a good report.
