My 5 month old kitten is sick.she's on antibiotics. And even Lysine. Her nose is stuffed. She refuses to eat unless force fed. Which is no buggy. I have the time. But she's snore,choking on snot all day and all night. She's absolutely miserable. The suction bulb the vet gave Me not only sucks at sucking it's a pain to clean. The nose Frida is renowned for clearing tiny baby noses. I was wondering if anyone thinks that might work for my Lil one. I just feel so bad for her

Have you tried steaming her in the bathroom?  Do you run a vaporizer for her to help loosen the snot?  If you want to try the NurseFrieda, go ahead, but I just don't know that a kitten would sit still long enough to have the tube put in their nose.

Humidifier no go. I'm not actually allowed to run one because of lease and house humidity levels are ridiculously high. But I did steam her in the bathroom. She hated it. We were in there a good hour sitting. And me wiping her nose when it ran. Didn't seem to do much. I called the vet who insisted I just wait for the antibiotics to run there course. But seriously it's been 3 days she looks worse and is painful to watch her mouth breath

Okay. Went to store bought a nose Frida just for the cats use only. Used it on cat whom hated it but was to weak to argue. It works! Just as difficult to get a cat to keep their head still as it is a baby. Would recommend a partner holding the cat. But I got quite a bit of icky puss like snot out of her nose. She's still stuffed. but she's not mouth breathing anymore!

So in conclusion to anyone reading. If you love your cats as much as me this thing is totally worth the $12. Again. I recommend a partner though.

Good to know!  There have been times when I wished there was something to help my stuffy kitty.
