Kittens with Head Colds
Dear Friends,
Three months ago I took in two homeless kittens (a brother and a sister). They were doing fine --- eating their Kitty Chow, getting de-flea-ed and de-wormed, etc. They are now venturing outside and the female contracted a nasty head cold (much sneezing, nasal congestion --- all the uncomfortable symptoms we humans get with colds). Since they have completely different body chemistry than us I know that it could be dangerous to give them aspirin, sudaphedrin, or anything else that we can take. The only thing I've done is see to it that they have available a little bowl of Swanson's chicken broth available with their regular food and water. Question: Do any of you know of something I can do to help them? (The first one sick is about 50% better but her brother is still very uncomfortable.) I would be very grateful to anyone who can share with me the results of his or her experiences of a similar kind. Thank you for your attention, John Lamb, in California. |
