Seems Kitty has gotten a cold.
Its not the first time. However I feel so bad for him. He looks so sad.
Luckily he is still eating and drinking in a healthy manner. It has not effected his sugar numbers either. He is still reading in the 50-60's area.
His ears have gotten a little warm though the do go to cool as well.

Anybody have any suggestions??

We have read some pro's and cons about vitamin C.
 
My little civvie Trinket just had a cold and I used L-lysine which is an animo acid. I gave it to her and my other cat Merlin for about a week- 1/8 tsp on their food - and no more cold!!! It actually worked. My vet said they don't treat colds unless they are getting worse - more snotty, etc.
You can get it in Whole Foods for about $6. The ones I got came in capsules. I open a capsule and then close it again for later use. Easy!
 
I've used L-Lysine twice a day when Smokie has a cold.
Works every time.
I have the tablets and i crush them into a fine powder and stir it in tuna water
and she lapped it us.
I tried putting it in food and she refused it that way.
 
mine had one about 5 months ago, and by the time i had a chance to ask what i should do rather than taking her to the vet she got better
but i like the ideas here, will keep them in mind
 
L-lysine huh?
I used to take that when I was bodybuilding.
We'll give it a try.

Thank guys. Much appreciated.

Any other remedies out there are appreciated.

I'm curious what it did to help with body building? :?: It says it helps support the immune system.

I was taking it in conjunction with Arginine, Carnitine and Ornithine amongst other things. For breaking down fats and building lean muscle structure.

As I recall I rarely got ill during that time. Though I dont often catch colds in anycase.
