That should say "cannot use nasal", not can! Lol

Thanks so much again, everyone! She's doing so much better.

Oh! Forgot to add-- and she finally pooped this morning, too. that made mama sigh with relief, too! :)

Good news! Kitty is doing much better this morning. Yesterday was hard; she refused to eat all day except for a few greenies which made me even more worried because of the lack of water issue. I was really thinking the worst. However, last night we bought a warm steam vaporizer and used that...

Thank you for the responses. My other kitty and one doggie can sens in stressed to the max-- they both came downstairs to give me some love. Just got some biscuits on my lap. Hahaha. But anyway I (calmly) called the vet and asked about the breathing and they think it's probably just from the...

Another quick question- after giving her the antibiotic yesterday her breathing changed. This happened the last time she has an antibiotic when we took her in this summer. That antibiotic was a shot though. I can see her breathing hard and fast, meaning, her chest/body rises in and out quickly--...

Thanks for the helps-- I'll write more later but I haven't seen any poop in her letterbox yesterday and maybe even the day before yesterday. But to be fair she hasn't been eating. I try to watch her when I can to see if she's straining but can't catch her doing anything. She still wants to eat...

Oh, PS – my two cats are separated. They live on separate sides of the house because they don't get along. Ha ha Ha ha ha. So hopefully there never has or never will be a risk of the one I'll kitty infecting the other cat. I just wanted to mention that in case anybody was wondering if the other...

I checked her urine today a few hours ago in the litter box. It seemed normal sized and I know if they are small – meaning the clumps – it means possibly there is a urinary tract infection/issue. So I was relieved to see that it was normal sized. She wants to eat. She is still licking her lips...

I don't think he took a culture, which is why I'm wondering why he decided to say it was bacterial.  *sigh* I tried to give the pill to her 3x and wasted 3 pills in the process.  So I went back and got a liquid antibiotic-- Orbax.  He had suggested that first, so it's really my stupid mistake...

Just a quick update-- those steroid shots must work fast because I made some raw food with Call of the Wild and kitty ate some willingly-- no coaxing this time or anything!  Although... she didn't eat a lot of it, but boy is that progress!  It's probably the most I've seen her eat in one sitting...

Okay, went to the vet.  He kinda just looked her over and said she has a bacterial infection, not viral, and gave her a steroid shot and perscribed Zeniquin 25mg for 14 days. Now, I just have a few questions, because I'm utterly confused.  I asked my vet, but I'm still confused, so hopefully...

Yeah, I agree.  I would feel better if they at least hydrated her some and did some blood work.  Thanks. I'm assuming that it's pretty difficult to get them back to eating on their own without intervention then?  Like, if she's at the point she is now with the licking the lips and eating...

Thank you for your reply! I just cooked her an egg now and sprinkled a kitty yum on top. She ate some – and by some I mean very little – and she tried to go back again and eat more but decided not to. Yes, she has been licking her lips yesterday and today from what I've noticed. Break it to me...

Hi, everyone. First of all, I want to say that this site has been most helpful.  I've been searching through it since last year and finding out many tips/tricks.  However, today, I am posting for the first time because I think I need to ask more questions about my specific area of concern. We...
