Hey guys so my cat has like a cold. He's sneezen like crazy. Its alittle nasty when he is next to your face and does it. Its like the dino out of jurassic park. There is tons of buggers all over your face... Anyone know how or what to give to a cat with a cold???

Thanks

    make sure he's getting plenty of water. you can pinch a fold of skin on his back -- if it stays up, he's dehydrated.

    if it doesn't go away or if he smells bad, he may have a respiratory infection, for which you'd want antibiotics.

    Give him 500mg of L-Lysine per day. Mix this in with his wet food. I would do this daily for a month. If this doesn't help then you may want to take him to the vet to get Clavamox antibiotic. I would try the L-Lysine first. Get the capsule form so that you don't have to crush the tablets. Also, be sure to feed him a good quality food. A good diet goes a long way.
