Thread: Marbles' Cold

    Aw, poor little kittle. If you can manage it, you can squirt some poor saline solution in her nose. I did this for Pidge once per my vet's instructions and it does help but they become squirmy worms when anything is squirted in their little noses.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    She's a squirmer! Sneezing a lot, eyes are a teeny bit better. Wish I didn't have to go to work so I could stay home and nurse her

    If you have any chlorpheniramine tablets (JUST chlorpheniramine, not mixed with anything else) you can grind up a little piece of one (say 1/6 of a 4 mg tab), dissolve in water, mush into a bit of stinky wet food, and offer her that. It's been proven safe for cats.

    Poor widdle wiggly Marbles. Get better little one.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Gold seal nose drops(you have to make them yourself)open up the sinuses and reduce the swelling of the membranes. Also, if Marbles cannot smell her food, chicken baby food may entice her to eat. I used the vaporizer, too, and found it helpful. Poor little girl!!! GET WELL SOON!!!!

    She did nibble at the chicken baby food the other night. I can't say she was wild about it, but she did lick it from the spoon.

    Just a thought ... what if you microwave it for a few seconds? Cassie looooooves chicken baby food as a treat and she is such a diva that she won't eat it unless I zonk it for about 5-7 seconds (a tablespoon of baby food).

    I am so glad to read that her cold is better today!
