Buddy is prone to frequent upper respiratory infections, and I was wondering if there's anything I can do to help him sneeze the mucous out a little faster so he can feel better faster. Well, besides turning the bathroom into a sauna for him 24/7.
It usually takes a few days for any meds to kick in, and my heart always breaks into a million little pieces in the meantime when I can hear the snot rattling around in his nose, and I can't help him to sneeze it out. Sorta like when my son was two years old, and didn't understand the concept of 'blow'. ;-)
The vaporizer and humidifier don't put out enough steam to help, and I've tried putting saline drops in Buddy's nose (as well as using a bulb syringe to try to suction out the mucous). But so far, the only thing that seems to trigger a good sneeze is when he poops in the litter box, which really seems to open up this sinuses. Hee!
Any suggestions?
