My black cat, Bear, is about 2 years old and was an orphan that I adopted from a cat rescue as a kitten. He’s an indoor cat, never been outside. He has had all of his shots. He might be a carrier for FHV from his mother, but he was never tested. Maybe I didn’t wash my hands thoroughly enough after coming back from the shelter. I’m not 100% sure how he got sick.
Bear began to sneeze, a clear, bubbly mucus coming out of his nose last night. He would also shake his head and lick his nose a lot. I immediately isolated him from my other cat, knowing the symptoms of an upper respiratory infection from seeing the cats at the shelter I volunteer at.
The question is... is there any way that I can get away with not taking him to the vet? Anyone had experience with treating a URI with home remedies? How long do I isolate him? The vet is so expensive, as many of you know. I will take him if needed, but just wondering if it’s really necessary...
