How is Upper Respitory Infection treated in cats?

Question

I think my cat has URI, how will the vet treat it when I take it today? I wanted to know in advance, thanks.

Answer 1

The URI is a virus like a cold......it must run its course. Vets prescribe antibiotics not for the URI but in case during the healing process the kitty sneezes and aspirates some of that substance into the lungs which may result in pneumonia. That is why the antibiotics are dispensed to prevent the pneumonia.........not to cure the cold.

Usually, a URI isn't treated at all. Like a human cold, there isn't a cure. It just runs its course. Should a secondary infectiion develop, the vet will prescribe an antibiotic.
