Animals, like humans, are prone to various diseases. Even the slightest draft can cause rhinitis in a cat, which is manifested by profuse nasal discharge, or, conversely, dryness and scabs. Treat pets under the supervision of an experienced veterinarian.
Instructions
Step 1
Contact your veterinarian if you notice any abnormalities in your cat's health. The discharge of mucus from the nose may indicate not only a banal runny nose, but also more serious diseases.
Step 2
The doctor will examine your pet and take tests. After that, he will prescribe a treatment, which will include not only taking medications, but also rinsing the nose if the cat has difficulty breathing. All medicines can be purchased at a veterinary pharmacy. Follow the general guidelines. But if everything is more or less clear with tablets and suspensions, then rinsing the nose is somewhat more difficult.
Step 3
Prepare saline solution for rinsing, it should be at room temperature. Saline solution cannot be used, as it contains iodine, which can provoke the development of allergies and swelling of the mucous membrane.
Step 4
Remove the needle from the syringe or use a regular pipette to flush. Pick up the solution in advance and only after that take the animal in your hands.
Step 5
If you have a calm cat, then place it on your lap and, holding it slightly, drip its nose. Enough about 0.5 mg of solution per nostril. If the animal becomes very anxious, then ask someone to hold him. Try not to scare your pet, so as not to traumatize his psyche.
Step 6
Rinse our cat about 3 times a day. When there are improvements, carry out the procedure only in the evening. On average, an animal's runny nose will go away in 4-6 days. If there is no improvement, visit your veterinarian again and consult your doctor.
Step 7
Remove any moisture from the animal's nose by blotting it with a clean handkerchief.
