Nebulizer Treatment for a Sneezy Kitten 

Yeah

This is the same principle as the hot water, but those mucus breaking medications can be life savers (I got asthma, I know)

My mum used to sit me in the bathroom with a book and turn the shower on scalding hot.

for me, i use altoid mints when my nose is stuffed, it works great

@@doyoueverfeellikeaplasticb2703 me to

Same. Aw that would be a nice job

RN(K) XD

Would that not be a veterinarian nurse or something similar?

Thanks for all that you do! I'm glad that the videos are helpful for your clients!

I have to do a nebulizer too! It was so cool to know that Svetlana and I are in the same boat!

@My Name yes @Kitten Lady……I‘m also from Germany and heard people at my local shelter talking about you………I was so surprised…………you have such an impact on the cat world 👍🤩………thank you so much for all you do - also for all other animals 🥰❤️

She funny cat and cute LOL

Is it safe to nebulize a cat three times a day

I didn't know cats could even get herpes. Poor thing. Well, she's pain free now. Sorry for your loss

@Sonia zzstu ReganRoy same!

@@mysticdiamond8944 I’m pretty sure most do ( it’s a respiratory problem for cats instead of what humans get ) but some cats get flare ups aka they have bad symptoms

It was debate on other videos and people are misinformed or have misconception of '' herpes '' for cats. People should be aware bof coryza because it serious, can be contagious to other animals and deadly within a week or two if not treated. Herpesvirus Feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) accounts for 40% of coryza cases. It is the causative agent of potentially severe infectious feline viral rhinotracheitis. In fact, its tropism for the upper respiratory tract (ocular and nasal conjunctiva, oropharynx, trachea), the bronchi, bronchioles and neurons makes it a potentially dangerous virus, since it can cause encephalitis and pneumonia. Like many herpesviruses, it can remain in a latent state in neuronal ganglia, especially the trigeminal ganglion, in which case it is undetectable. All it takes to reactivate it is a drop in immunity, corticosteroid administration, stress or another disease, leading to infection and viral shedding. It is highly contagious and is transmitted through close direct contact, for example between a mother and her kitten.

hello, fellow rat owner here! my rats are constantly getting upper respiratory infections... so i’m curious, did you use medication prescribed by a vet plus saline or just the saline solution?

@@funkyshook would like to know the answer to this!

@@funkyshook I have owned and medicated rats for years. My go to nebulizing cocktail is 0.5 mg albuterol, 0.5 gentamicin, and 5.0 saline. They will also need a round of oral antibiotics and I have found doxycycline and Baytril (enrofloxacin) or doxy and azithromycin (a z pack) if no improvement within 5 days to save many babies. Even one’s that doesn’t seem like they are going to make it. Consistency is key. After all that being said I have worked very closely with my trusted exotic vet for years to get these meds/ and dosages. Rats are the best ❤️❤️

I did the shower thing too and it became a bonding thing so my cat would come running whenever I went in the bathroom, even if I was just peeing.

Yes! My vet recommended the shower thing when my cat Taques was a kitten, and now... six years later... He always comes to the bathroom with us whenever we shower.

It actually does very similar things to the straight saline nebulizer. It’s a good substitute in a pinch.

@@personneici2595 funnily enough, my cats even loved being nearby when I was in our hot tub growing up. We had a wine barrel spa, with about a 1” rim. Our cat, Fudge, would walk around that rim to get to folks on the other side for pets.

My cat loves being in the bathroom with me while showering. I think the warmth and the steam calms her down or something, lol.

Right there with you, Abigail! On a couple of really bad asthma days, our asthmatic kitty and I shared some mist from my nebulizer. Fortunately, for our kitty, her asthma is much milder than mine so she doesn't need an inhaler.

@@abbynormal4740 one question,is the nebulizer supposed to be hot steam or just cold steam?

@@bigfrankentertainment My nebulizers generate a fine mist at room temperature from nebulizer solutions - levalbuterol (a stereo isomer of Albuterol) and Atrovent. I use an adult mask instead of a mouthpiece. 🙂

Update: I also recently got an AeroKat chamber, which is essentially like a spacer used with human inhalers, but with an adapter to fit over a cat's muzzle. It has a "Flow-Vu" vent to help ensure kitty is adequately taking in an appropriate number of breaths of meditation from the chamber. The AeroKat is easier and quicker to set up and use than a nebulizer, but it's a good idea to gradually accustom your cat to it before using it.

Why does your cat need this? I’m wondering if it’s what my girl needs.

@@bippy201 it all depends on the cat and what could be the issue. Personally I'd talk to a vet about it. Ot can be a number of reasons why you would need to do this. Could be anything from slight allergies to asthma to something else. I'd talk to a vet first though

As a good barbarian when I face stuck breezin and/or crusty nose I put few drop of pure glycerin in the nose. For super noisy breezing I first give 1 drop of eye wash to help liquefy. The the drop of glycerin. Hold the head up few seconds and prepare for the sneezy booger storm. Sometimes the first booger drop down on its own. Usually there is 2-3 big sneeze with matching wetty booger. But the best result are when it turn into a sneeze storm and the half hard boogers get dumped out sometime half stuck in the nose and you have to help wipe them out with TP. It's absolutely disgusting but the noise/weezing free breathing you get afterward is awesome. I have more and more the feeling to be stuck with the feline equivalent of a leper colony...

Me to

@@G_de_Coligny what can I do to help this 2 feral cats they are like that because it’s so cold even I left the garage open but they don’t want to stay I made them a plastic box with blankets but they run to the rooftop across and the only come when I feed them but they leave only I try to close the garage door to keep them inside and they were crying but they sound they can’t breathe but maybe I can grab one of them sorry can’t taken them to the veterinarian thank you

That’s cute lol

how sweet is that ! i adopted my cats when they were kittens but both of my dogs were fully grown when i adopted them.. i always wonder what they would have looked/been like a little puppies :)

Now you know what?

You’re a time traveler.

Must be nice, my lungs are permanently hecked up so even this treatment doesnt let me take a nice deep breath :)) Im so happy it works for you tho!!

Human nebulizers are kinda like inhalers, you can get things like albuterol to put in them and they can get the meds deeper into your lungs! Of course that's only for humans, I wouldn't think you would use human asthma meds for animals, always consult a vet, and for human stuff talk to your doctor!

She’s not actually spraying her; the vapor is floating out naturally. She’s just putting the nebulizer near her nose and mouth for better effectiveness.

@@timberwerewolf I have an asthmatic cat, and you actually do use the same meds as humans! The inhalers are given using a little mask, much like with human infants (look up Aerokat for pics). My old cat takes a daily inhaler and has a rescue inhaler for emergencies, just like humans do.

@@grace7807 This is what I was gonna say! I have an aerokat for my baby. She just has a rescue inhaler right now, and has finally gotten used to me giving it to her! lol. She uses the same exact inhaler I use.

Lol same

Have you tried Viralys? My cat with herpes improved with this! It’s a gel and she actually loves to get it

@@mynameisnonofyourconcern8685 I will ask the vet about it! Haven't tried it.

@@mynameisnonofyourconcern8685 I give my kitten viralys. Its L lysine he has calici virus. It helps his condition alot.

@@Jack-B0t yeah it’s an immune system supplement and my cat at least has gotten better. You’ll probably have to do something like what was done in the video too if your cat has bad flare ups but it helped curb my cats infections and her herpes

@@mr.scoggins that’s cool! I figured that it would help other things than feline herpes since it helps with the immune system. Does your cat like to get it too or is mine weird lol we get the maple flavor gel
