My cat is only 3 yrs but was diagnosed with pneumonia. She doesn't have eye or nose discharge it's just all shallow rapid breathing, and occasional gagging. She's on antibiotics and Corticosteroid. I don't know what virus causing it because I declined virus tests for extra cost. But she's eating and hopefully continues to recover

[@user-od5vg5jf6j]

Hi doc, My cat jimmy was diagnosed with cat flu just yesterday. Initially we took him to the vet cuz we saw worms in his potty and his 3rd eyelid came out halfway and he wasnt eating the whole day the day before so we thought it had something to do with his worms so we decided to take him to the vet the day after right away but the next day in the morning he vomited too. took him to the vet right away and he was diagnosed with cat flu and now they are treating him with Saline and gave him apparently some "vaccine" for the flu but u mentioned there isnt one accurately made for it. Idk what but help me doctor what should i do will my cat live?? they asked us to take him to the vet twice a day to treat him with saline and some other meds and asked us to stop feeding him anything to prevent vomiting, even water. Also he keeps drooling

[@sja5385]

My kitten is one week old and it’s sneezing like crazy what should I do?

[@johngalt6525]

[@BooksummaryfantasyImagineworld]

Today lost my kitten 4 किड्स wo bhut pyri thi allah jannat ata kre khusi ko

[@mimiyogini]

So sorry 😢

[@waniakhan9071]

Please help my kitten is about 8 weeks old and when we got her she was fine however now she’s had these symptoms: sneezing, wheezing, runny nose, very inflamed eyes, she has lost weight, she’s not as energetic, and she keeps sleeping. She refuses to eat solid food but we are feeding her kitten milk by a syringe several times a day. She still pees regularly and poos regularly however I’m very scared for her. We took her to the vet but the cat wasn’t too worried about her and they gave her antibiotics and we started the course 2 days ago but she only seems to be getting worse. Please can you give advice accordingly. Also is there anything we could do for her that won’t make us spend too much money. If not it’s fine we can do what we have too. But she is just a sweet little baby I don’t want anything to happen to her

[@barbaradeenussbaum920]

How long does cat flu last

[@tammimrahman8264]

4 of my 5 month Cats died due to flu. They died with in one day of showing symptoms. We gave each of them treatment (injection to stop vomiting, to increase temperature, IV fluid) and they were also fed chicken soup and saline water in a span of 1 hour, 30 minutes. May I know a reason y I they died so early after showing symptoms and how to prevent their health from getting worsen? They were not vaccinated.

[@maree88888]

doc., is it ok to give a multivitamins to a kitten age 2-3weeks old? because the mother has cough & colds. thank you.

[@TOMCONLEY-CCSE-NFPCCC-CHARITY]

[@user-sv4ql4tj1x]

[@hahem9921]

[@sofiamargarette1979]

[@AhmedHussain-uv8sj]

👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤

[@deeb.9250]

...also FIP or the mutated feline coronavirus is also a potential cause for pneumonia but less likely than calisi or herpe virus

[@alisonmarsh9325]

the one on blood vomiting he vomited so much he had like a dark red bloody look to it 😰 and its literally like 2 am so how we gonna find a dr right now so like. my mom gave him a Charcoal pill 🙈 i at least hope it works and hes oky we don't have any money to pay for more pet care its sooo expensive

[@TheScropiongirl]

Pls how is your cat now

[@weightlosstiaras8066]

I Have a kitten I have bottle fed since one day old. He is now 5 weeks old, runny eyes, nose and sneezing. My vet won't look at him due to his age what can I do? I have bottle fed this baby every 2 hours for 5 weeks, I can't lose him.

[@mimiyogini]

Same situation here 😢

[@patriotchick4420]

❤please look into colloidal silver for your kitty. It's an antibacterial, anti viral, anti fungal and cures many illnesses. It is safe for cats and humans and no, you or the kitty will not turn blue. It will get your kitty better within a day. It's like magic honestly, I use it for my illnesses as well and always have success. Research it and find some books on colloidal silver. After it works, spread the word.

[@sbtyfire8352]

Same here... I got one kitten from road side I treated her eye infection but now she has severe cold.. she left eating everything

[@Isaac-211]

[@caseye.9905]

No feline herpes does not infect humans

[@geetavnaik5444]

[@bill_lumbergh]

There’s a new study that shows lysine not really effective in cats

[@sunrae7680]

Who sponsored that ? Pharmaceutical, vets, look at the source of the study.
