Oh my. Garnet is unfortunately beyond the help that a remedy can provide. She needs medical treatment which will likely consist of antibiotics and potentially other stabilizing medications depending on how bad her infection is. She needs to be seen by a vet asap for proper care. Here are some financial resources if needed. I hope you can get Garnet to a vet soon because respiratory problems are not very forgiving in cats and tend to get much worse very quickly. I wish you all the best. Carecredit.com Redrover.org
