These are my two babies with cat flu.

The vet has prescribed antibiotics (synulox) and fucithalmic, which they are already on, but I m wondering if you have any further advice as to what I can do to ease their discomfort.
Any advice will be welcome  :thanks:.

If they are having difficulty breathing you might be able to rent one of those humidifiers from the chemist, which, with a bit of eucalyptus or vicks in it will help free up their breathing a bit. Otherwise, warm, minimal stress and interference and keep up the meds religiously. Best of luck to these wee babes ...

Vicks can be put on a hankie and hung up out the way to help them breathe. The meds they have should help lots soon  ;D

It takes a couple of days for the meds to kick in so hope that they are starting to improve  :hug:
