My cat is sneezing with mucus and diarrhea. Home remedies?

Question

My cat has been sneezing. Clear mucus. And has diarrhea. I can't afford going to the vet... Any thing I can do at home for him?

Yes, there are few things you can try at home for him, but keep in mind if they don't work, you will need to take him to 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. 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.
