Hi !

So my cat, Cosmo, is very sick right now. It started about a week ago when he was just sneezing a lot ... after 2-3 days of that we took him to the vet and he got a shot of antibiotics and we've been giving him amoxicillin twice a day.

After we got back from the vet he actually seems worse. For about 3 days he has been struggling to breathe through his nose, not eating, has very very watery eyes, and just looks miserable.

He's a very active cat and it is killing me to see him like this. I think we're going to take him back to the vet this weekend. Right now I have him down in the basement in his bed next to a dehumidifier, and it might be helping a little.

Has anyone ever gone through this or have any advice?!?!?!

Get your bathroom nice and steamy, then take him in there and sit with him until the steam dissipates. You need to put him next to a vaporizer, not a dehumidifier. The humidity and steam will help him breathe easier.
