Treatment principles for cat colds
If a cat has a cold, you need to take it to the pet hospital as soon as possible. You cannot delay it, and you cannot feed it human cold medicine. Human cold medicine contains a drug called acetaminophen, which cats take. It can easily lead to poisoning, liver and kidney failure, and thus affect life and health. The principles of cold treatment are anti-inflammation, anti-infection, cough relieving, etc., and atomization can be used when necessary.
What to do if a cat has a cold:
1. There are many causes of cold symptoms in cats, such as herpes virus, calicivirus, and Bordetella bronchiseptica etc., you need to take the cat to a professional hospital for treatment to prevent lower respiratory tract infections from occurring due to delay.
2. At the same time, you cannot take a bath before the cold is cured. Pay attention to keeping warm, and the eye and nose secretions that appear when you have a cold must be cleaned up in time. This way the cat can recover as quickly as possible.
3. Increase nutrition to improve the cat’s own resistance until it recovers naturally. Cats with high body temperatures and not eating will need intravenous fluids.
