What can I do to treat my cat's stuffed up nose and congestion?

There are a few things you can try at home for Juju, but if he's had this stuff nose for longer than a couple of days, it's better to take him into the vet. That would be my recommendation, and you can do the things at home I'm going to tell you in conjunction with medications from the vet. First, you can try starting him on an L-lysine supplement - this is an amino acid that has been shown to help the immune system fight off respiratory infections more effectively (if that is what's causing his stuffy nose). Enisyl and Viralys are both good brands, and can be purchased over the counter without a prescription - just follow the dosing instructions on the label based on your cat's weight. If he's congested, you can also try using a humidifier or bringing him 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. I would have him seen by a vet tomorr

You can try a humidifier for Jude. That may help him with the stuffy nose. You can also try bringing him into the bathroom when you take a shower, as the steam from that can help his congestion. Finally, you can try starting him on an L-lysine supplement - this is an amino acid that has been shown to help the immune system fight off respiratory infections more effectively. Enisyl and Viralys are both good brands, and can be purchased over the counter without a prescription - just follow the dosing instructions on the label based on your cat's weight. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

Considering that most of these upper respiratory tract/nasal inflammations are due to viral/infectious diseases, antibiotics should be enough to resolve clinical signs and no other action or treatment is usually is required.I would recommend just to keep the nares externally cleaned with water, wiping gently dry discharge. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

If she is just a bit sniffy I would just use the nasal decongestant which I assume is drops? Also, you could just nebulize her by putting her in the bathroom with the hot water running to create steam. Leave her in there about 10 minutes. You can do this 2-3 times per day. That should help clear out her nasal passages. Hope this helps. If you have more questions you can always opt for a private consultation where we can chat back and forth. That way you can ask as many questions as you'd like. Best wishes.

You can use a humidifier or have Ariel in the bathroom when you take a hot shower. That will help clear her up a little. Also using a warm wet cloth to wipe the discharge from her nose may improve the nasal air flow. I like to add some tuna juice to the food for increased odor if she isn't eating normally as cats often don't eat well when conjested. Be patient she will improve daily.

Poor Jiji, this sounds like an upper respiratory tract infection, most of these are viral and resolve uneventfully over 5-10days. Placing her in a steamy shower room for 3-5mins can help to loosen any mucus. If her appetite decreases or any yellow/green discharge develops she should be checked by your vet as she may need additional treatment

It could be Sheela has an upper respiratory infection. She will need to see a vet for this issue, and I can give you some things you can do at home for her. Please know these things at home cannot take the place of a vet visit. First, you can try starting her on an L-lysine supplement - this is an amino acid that has been shown to help the immune system fight off respiratory infections more effectively. Enisyl and Viralys are both good brands, and can be purchased over the counter without a prescription - just follow the dosing instructions on the label based on your cat's weight. If she's congested, you can also 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. I'd take her into the vet in the morning. I hope this helps!

I suggest you do a few things. 1. Start her on an immune booster supplement like one of these: https://www.chewy.com/vetriscience-vetri-dmg-immune-health/dp/42657 https://www.chewy.com/vetriscience-vetri-lysine-plus-immune/dp/42647 2. Use a vaporizer as steam therapy. Put her in a bathroom or other small space with the vaporizer and run it for 15- 30 minutes twice a day. You can also use a nebulizer. Either one. 3. Hopefully she is eating well. If not, used canned food and warm it in the microwave to increase the smell. If cats have nasal discharge and the nose is clogged they can't smell well and therefore won't eat. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
