You can find vets open in your area here. If you don’t need the links now, it may be beneficial to keep them for the future and for other pets in the household. I also want to mention that many of the companies listed below work primarily with cats and dogs but will also consider helping exotics and pocket pets, as well, depending on need. With financing, you pay the amount back to the financing company BUT with financial aid the bill is paid for and you are NOT expected to pay the amount back. Organizations like these make it possible for owners to fund an expensive procedure even if they cannot personally afford it at that time. If finances are tight, I would highly recommend looking into both financial aid and financing options. Wait 2 hours and then offer your companion appetizing food like boiled chicken breast, pureed human baby food in flavors like chicken or turkey, a few bites of canned food or some warm kitten milk replacer (NOT cow's milk).

To help with closed or crusty eyes or nostrils that develop, apply a warm compress for 20 minutes every few hours.įor appetite loss that may accompany this suspect infection, you can give regular pepcid (famotidine) every 12-24 hours if no other medications are being given that we haven’t discussed. Be sure that your companion is with an adult that is observing at all times. To help with chest congestion, try steam therapy in a shower 2 times daily. To help with any congestion in the nose, try pediatric saline nose drops. 2-4mg can be given orally every 12 hours to help address the symptoms.

This one works particularly well on URI symptoms. Failing this:įor respiratory symptoms (wheezing, coughing, sneezing, runny eyes, runny nose, etc) you can use an OTC human antihistamine called Chlorpheniramine. I would strongly suggest a vet visit, I can help you find one. It sounds like they may have a developing respiratory tract infection based on the symptoms that you have shared. I am very sorry to hear that your Baby Boy is not well.
