Can I give a cat Sudafed or Neo-Synephrine drops in nostrils? She is not responding to any other URI treatment
BoyGrammar asked:
She has been to two vets and been sick since April. She has had two steroid shots in two months. She sits in a bathroom with a Vicks steam vaporizer for part of each day. She is getting steroid nasal drops. She takes Clavamox pills. She takes 500mg l-lysine tablets twice a day. Help! My vets say they “don’t know” if Sudafed tablets or Neo-Synephrine drops are OK in cats, but some Web sites say they are. I also want vet to prescribe Famvir antiviral tablets but so far he’s “checking on it.”
P.S. Yes, the cat had X-rays. No problem in sinuses found other than feline herpes rhinitis. She is on her second vet. She is a black-and-white fat cat but getting thinner as she doesn’t want to eat much except a little Fancy Feast. She won’t eat the dry food she loved for years.
