My pregnant cat is sick with a URI. How can I help her and her babies?

Question

What should I do if a mom cat (her babies are unborn) has a URI..? Her babies are expected soon.

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

I would have her seen by a vet tomorrow. She may benefit from some medications to help with her symptoms, and the vet can prescribe them for her. Tonight, if she's congested, you can try using a humidifier or bringing her into the bathroom with the door closed while you take a hot shower - the steam and humidity help to break up congestion and temporarily relieve symptoms associated with respiratory infections.
