Update: Six and counting, Spunky's much better.

Good about the vaporizer...is there any Vicks or tea tree oil you can put on it? Maybe have him and the vaporizer in the bathroom, so it's more concentrated...you could sit with him.

You COULD try dabbing a bit of the stuff under his nose (not on it), though it could be pretty strong. But- it might get through the gunk.

Prayers he gets better and that stuff breaks up quick!

Not tea tree oil! It's very dangerous for cats.

Have anyone else read and/or tried using apple cider vinegar with their cats?
Neither of my cats will "drink" water with acv but when I apply it to the scruff of their necks, top of their paws, they're just fine with it.

I have also tried it in the wet food one of my cat eats without problem.

Prayers and a candle (http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/message.cfm?l=eng&cid=9257187} that Mr. Spunky will soon be feeling better and back to normal.

I read about this twice here on the boards. I will try it, maybe with myself, too. It certainly won't hurt me.

My Pidge gets stuffy quite a bit and sneezes, too, most likely from allergies but because she has cardiomyopathy I can't give her any OTC meds or even prescribed ones now from my vet because it raises the heart rate. Be sure to ask your vet before administering any OTC meds. I sure hope that all is improving w/Spunky.

My vet is okay with it.

Spunky is as spunky as ever, but the eyes are still running. I've cleaned them twice this evening to the oddest sounding protest I've ever heard from a cat. He got the liquid meds and then his eyes got the teramyacin.

I am watching him for the next two days to see if the eyes dry up. I'm wondering what is causing them to keep reacting and running. The eyes are not as goopy as they were, so this is an improvement.

Even though he is digusted with me, he is sleeping at my feet on MY ottoman.

LJ decided I was cool again this evening and spent the last 90 minutes in my arms. She clawed her way up my back using my best shirt. goota love cats.

LJ is a perpetual purrer.
