I just adopted a beautiful gray persian cat from the humane society. He was brought in as a stray, so had to stay one week in the shelter before I could take him home.
I brought him home yesterday, and other than some bad eye crustys he seemed fine. This morning I noted he was drooling -- A LOT. So I took him to my vet and it turns out he has a cold. We have anti-biotics now and I was wondering- for any one with persian experience-- what is the best stuff for cleaning his eyes and nose? He gets rather fidgity and sneezy when I try to wipe it clean, but I don't want it to crust up or get painful.
He's also not interested much in food. I bought some wet food and even tried heating it in the microwave-- he has to eat!
I am pretty hopefull, because even since this afternoon when he got his first dose of antibiotics he's stopped drooling, but now his eyes, nose and mouth are pretty crusty. I don't want to give him a bath while he's sick- just all around tips on getting Chairman Meow healthy now that he's a member of this nutty house are so welcome and appreciated!
Thanks again, glad to have found this forum!
