My cat is continually sneezing, Does he have a respritory Infection ?

Question

I know I should take him to the vet, but I am currently in a situation with no money. I have penicillan from vets office can I give this to him to try and treat his condition ? Please only seriuos answers as I love my cat very much !

Answer 1

Sneezing could mean a lot of things from a URI (Upper Respiratory Infection) or a disease such as Feline leukemia. DO NOT give the penicillin. 1) because you dont know what is wrong with the cat 2) it could be outdated and make the cat worse 3) Pilling cats is no fun so I wouldnt do it unless you have too. I would take it to the vet as soon as you can. Another possibility is maybe it inhale carpet cleaner. My aunts cat got out of her bedroom when she was a kitten and sniffed up a whole noseful of carpet cleaner. She sneezes constantly now and always wheezes when she breathes and she is 7 years old now! Hopefully it is something like that and nothing more serious but I would still check with a vet. Good luck

Answer 2

Give him some vit. C mixed i with wet canned cat food. I give my cats 100mg of vit C every other day when they get the sneezes or when I think they may be coming down with a cold. Always seem to work... at least, they never actually developed a full blown cat flu or upper respiratory infection needing antibiotics. Vit. C boosts their immune system and builds strength. A vet prescribed it to my cat when he was recuperating from an illness some time ago and she told me about vit. C and the cat's immune system. It does no harm to the cat. Try it and see if your kitty's sneezing will stop. Of course, if it gets worse, you know that you need to go to the vet, right?

Answer 3

prolly just dust and such. I would first dust the house with a damp rag or something that will remove the dust (not just brush it back into the air). Then get an airfilter. Ionic breeze is expensive but you only have to buy it once then no filters ever. a cheaperbrand that uses filters would help in a pinch. You might also have mold. Mold is icky.

Answer 4

Its best not to give your cat penicillin as you are not sure of his condition. He/she is most probably suffering from an allergy. Try to make sure he is eating and drinking, if he begins to go off his food take him to a vet, because once they go off food or water they can go downhill very quick.

Answer 5

NEVER give meds not prescribed for the illness. they could be old or innapropriate for the particular illness. does he have congestion, runny nose, wattery eyes? these are signs of cold. since you have no $ for vet, does he have immunizations up to date. something called distemper can kill them if no shots for it.( kinda like pneumonia in cats and dogs) could just be allergies. any new pets in the home? or new carpet? i know we love animals but pls dont get any more animals until u can afford to care for them properly. nothing more cruel than to let them suffer because u cant afford them

Answer 6

It's probably a respiratory thing but don't treat it without knowing for sure. If there's no runny nose he'll be ok for a minute so get some money together. LOL

Answer 7

take him ot the vet he may have cat flue which is bad bad news! most of the time when cats keep sneezing it usually means cat flu, ive lost my baby kitty to cat flue and it can be prevented by getting shots etc.

goodluck :)

Answer 8

we have cats and once the sneezing started ,i vacuumed and dusted and continually keep their eating and play areas clean and the sneezing stopped.

Answer 9

maybe something you use is causing it.. deodorant, perfume, hairspray.. anything that is not a natural odor. or it could be dust in the air.. change what you can change and see if it stops the sneezing.
