My little one, Tommy is going through his first outbreak of the cat flu and has very inflamed and sore looking conjunctivitis and has the sniffles.
I took him to the vets this evening and she has put him on two different types of antibiotics, a cream for his poor painful eyes and a paste to eat! Thankfully his lungs are sounding strong and he is still eating/drinking.
I have never had experience with cat flu before and just want to make him as comfortable as possible to aid his recovery and get him back to his cheeky chap self.
Has anyone found certain types of palatable, 'strong smelling' foods that helps with rousing the appetite so I can be sure he is having his daily paste antibiotics?
And just some general little tips or advice others have found to help their kitties feel a little better or atleast help Tommy feel a little more comfortable and at ease... My poor little one just looks so sorry for himself and after the vet appointment is very upset at me!
(A random thought: do you think I should wash down his paws/arms which he uses to wipe his infected eyes to stop spreading further infection? Or maybe it's a little late for that...)
Thank you in advance, this site and these forums have really been a godsend for me lately and I adore all of you! Xx
