Hi Sohelia. Your cat is very cute. Unfortunately, I cannot answer this question because we are simply a consultation website and Cannot prescribe any medication to you because we do not have a valid client patient relationship. I urge you to contact two or three veterinary clinics in your area to get a feel for what appropriate examination and treatment would cost. I’m sorry I can’t do more but I hope I have been able to point you in the right direction.
