Well we made an appt with our vet clinic for Callie, not that I don't trust what the Humane Society says but I feel safer with ours so we went. They did agree that the wound on her side & up her back a strip was probably fr a car fan belt. Sounds scary poor thing.
The only thing is, OK we took her to our vet on Monday & they agreed that her cold was not bad at all. They said we shd keep her quarantined till Friday. Now todays Thursday & her cold is worse today. I wonder if it could be like a human cold, work up to a peak then go away. Her appetite is super good & all she wants is to purr & wrap herself around me.
I'd appreciate hearing anyones thoughts or experience on this.

I had a vet tell me not to worry about my babies cold and within a week it turned into pnemonia!!! This was 2 yrs ago and he's fine (after a month of running back and forth to the vet several times!) Our newest that we got in Mar. also had a cold, but we had changed vets and our new vet put this baby on antibiotics immediately. Even with that, he's had to have more meds because it just doesn't want to leave his system.

The difference between getting meds and not getting meds is that one got really sick and had to be nursed a lot longer. The other never stopped playing and eating and being a happy little guy.

Long story short (too late!) gets meds! Change vets if you have to! Just my opinion and experience.

Poor baby cat. Pepper's never had a cold so I don't know how to treat them, but if it were me I'd ask my vet for some meds anyway. Even if she's eating well and playing normally she could still feel miserable with congestion.

I hope your little cat feels better soon.

Get a second opinion maybe. It's good that she's eating well and sometimes it could get worse than better. Hope she gets better quick.

    Is anyone here allergic to Sulfa that is currently taking Diamox? I have been diagnosed with IH now for almost 2 years. I am allergic to Sulfa drugs meaning that my throat will swell up so my Neurologist put me on Topamax. I was suffering from major loud whoosing noises and the topamax helped that but everyday I still hear those mainly between 6 - 12 pm. I am at my wits end and have not went...
