how to get rid of cat's flu or prevent it?
hye everyone,
i have 7 cats, 2 big male Mr Bunny and Mr Snowy, 1 queen, 2 growing cats, and 2 kittens (2 months old) Only Mr. Snowy is vaccinated.
Mr Bunny always stays outdoor. Last week he came home with a bad breath, sneezing, and clear nasal discharge. I brought him to the vet. He was given Doxy and medication to unblock the nose.
Since then, all cats start to sneeze. However, they play and eat as usual.
Last night, the queen had fever so I brought her to the clinic. Kittens are actively playing, and still on medication. Previously the had diarrohea.My vet gave them Amox and Metro antibiotics.
I am clueless about how to deal with this. Can I vaccinate my cat when they still seem to have this symptoms? Is it going to worsen the condition?Or should I go with treatment first?
Any idea how I can prevent this from continuing. Is there any changes I can make? Can I put the kittens with their mother? Queen still nursing. I love my cats so much but medication is costly

they need to be well to get vaccinated. treat the symptoms and keep them breathing ok. my vet suggested a little vicks on the tip of the nose to open nasal passages. antihistimines are needed for severe cases.
try your local humane society to see if they can help with vet costs.
the cats were all together to begin with so keeping them from nursing will not keep them any healthier.
Upper respiratory infections spread like wildfire. I would call the vet and ask, but they may all need medication.
try teramycin powder in the water. Its a mild antibiotic. Local feedstores have it. 1/8 teaspoon per gallon. When it turns organge it has gone bad. It should be yellow. Keep powder in the fridge. Keep the cats indoors from now on.
