Respiratory Infections in Cats
"My cat has a problem that reoccurs every 4 to 6 weeks. It starts out with sneezing. The sneezes become more frequent followed by mucous which is sometimes white or slightly colored and wheezing.He has difficulty breathing, but no cough. He goes on clindamycin hydrachloride for about 10 days. It seems to clear it up, but it returns in 4 to 6 weeks.What can I do? I hate giving him the antibiotics. JD"
My recommendation for your cat would be Respiratory Aid. I have listed below the write up for the product.
Cat coughs are usually associated with colds, but can occur with other conditions such as tracheobronchitis (a common cat breathing infection which is defined as an inflammation of the windpipe or its branches) and lung parasites. Cat coughing is natural reflex to an irritation, which helps rid the lungs of disease-causing secretions. Secretions vary depending on the cause; viral secretions are generally clear or white whereas bacterial secretions are usually yellow or green. The duration of the feline cough varies according to the cause, usually lasting 7-10 days when caused by colds or acute infections, up to three weeks when the cat is affected by tracheobronchitis.
Respiratory Aid contains herbs that directly focus on controlling bacterial infection and inflammation, and have expectorant and antihistamine properties. Defiantly touch base with your vet and let them see the ingredient list from the website.
