Healing Purrs coming for your Beauregard.  Unfortunately, I don't have
any advice to offer.

Regards and Purrs,

I hope he feels better soon! It doesn't sound serious, but I can
understand why you're worried - I hate to see any of my bunch looking
under the weather.

You might try a little echinacea/goldenseal tincture. I think the stuff
tastes like dirt (literally), so he probably wouldn't like it very much,
either, but you might be able to disguise it in something more appetizing.
It stimulates the immune system and definitely helps fight off infections.

I also use colloidal silver for myself, and I think it's safe for cats,
too. (In fact, I found out the stuff existed on a cat health email list.)
It's extremely effective at getting rid of colds and flus.

I don't know where you live, but if you have a decent health food store
in your area, you should be able to find both of those things there.

I gave the echinacea/goldenseal tincture to Roxy when she had a major
respiratory infection during her kittenhood. It was so upsetting to me -
she couldn't breathe through her nose at all, and had to breathe through
her mouth, which looks so unnatural in a cat. I had her shut in the
bathroom, lying on a soft towel, with a humidifier going full blast, and
some peppermint oil in the humidifier's medication area. I don't know how
much it helped, but she's still with me, so it certainly didn't hurt.

Incidentally, in case you're worried that all of this sounds too off the
beaten track, I got these ideas from a vet (except the colloidal silver,
which, as I said, I got from a cat-health list).

Good luck, whatever you do, and many purrs for his quick recovery!

  Healing purrs for Beauregard.  Our Hobo gets sneezing fits too.
The vet gave him antibiotics which made Hobo barf up a storm every
time he took a pill.  So much for *that* idea!!  Now we just let it go
away on its own and in a day or two, the sneezing disappears.

Purrs for Beauregard coming your way.  You could try adding some L-Lysine to
his food, it helps boost the immune system.  He could even be sneezing from
pollen.  The pollen count here has been way high, and the ragweed is out
early.

Purrs on their way.  Sorry, I've never had experience with this illness.

Healing purrs for Beauregard.

You could take his temperature yourself to save a trip to TED in case
there's no fever. Just don't use a mercury thermometer, use one of those
flexible electronic ones. They're very cheap nowadays.

If he doesn't get over it pretty quick you might want to take him in. It
might still be some allergic reaction. Purrs for a quick improvement.

Purrs for Beauregard that he get rid of that URI quickly!

Many purrs coming. I think the best you can do for him right now is to
make sure that food and water are available, and watch to be sure that
he does keep eating and drinking.

Don't have any suggestions but "feel better" purrs are on the way.
