I think my cat has the flu. I don't know, but she is sneezing alot. I want to know how I can help her. She started sneezing two days ago. Can you tell me what to do?

 

Gloria, you could be right -- your cat may be exposed to dust or other irritating subtances or more likely to a viral upper respiratory infection that could be caught from another cat or from a person who spent time with another sneezing cat somewhere and brought home the infection! The concern when cats get upper respiratory infections is that they can often get very stuffed up and feverish and not want to eat or drink. If this is the case, you should seek veterinary attention so your cat does not become dehydrated or develop complications from not eating. Upper respiratory infections can also result in secondary bacterial infections and those will require antibiotic therapy to resolve. So, if your cat does not improve on her own in the next few days, please seek veterinary attention and try to isolate her from other cats, ok? Let us know how things work out!
