My cat has a cold, eye infection, and drools. What can I give?

Question

Over the past 36 hours Hera has contracted conjivitis in one eye and now has an extreme cold and is dripping saliva. She is eating, drinking and sleeping as usual but her activity levels have decreased. We are currently unable to take her to the vet, what do you recommend we do or administer? We have been using sterile eye drops. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 10 months and 18 days old

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. I am sorry to hear that Hera is not feeling well. Hopefully she can fight this infection and make a speedy recovery! I would recommend using a Lysine supplement for Hera. You can find Lysine for cats online or at a local pet store. One product we use at our clinic is called Duralactin with Lysine paste. I use this in conjunction with an antibiotic but if you are unable to get her to a vet, then starting Lysine is better than nothing. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
