Since cats with upper respiratory infections can experience a variety of symptoms we designed the Breathe Easy cold remedy as a combination of select homeopathic formulas that each address some of the most common symptoms of cat cold and together can provide total respiratory support.

Cats can't tell us what is wrong and why they don't feel well, that is why our cat respiratory support treatment to help your feline feel frisky again no matter what type of respiratory infection they are fighting.

Cats will show similar symptoms to humans when sick with a cold or flu. Breathe Easy respiratory support addresses all these symptoms while supporting the body to heal the root cause of the infection. Below are what these symptoms look like in felines:

• Sore throat
• Cough
• Trouble breathing
• Asthma
• Fever
• Oral or nasal discharge
• Vomiting

Similar to people, cats can catch a variety of Feline Upper Respiratory Infections, usually caused by different bacteria or a virus. These infections can show themselves as coughing, runny nose, repeated cat sneezing, watery eyes and mild fever - similar to the symptoms experienced by people.

In cats, the feline herpes virus (FHV) is a common cause of cat colds. Usually affecting the upper respiratory symptom, FHV (feline herpesvirus type-1 - aka feline viral rhinotracheitis) and FCV (feline calicivirus) can even lead to mouth ulcers (stomatitis) and swelling of the eye membranes (conjunctivitis). In fact up to 97% of cats get exposed to FHV leading to lifelong infection in up to 80% of cats.

The most common bacterial upper respiratory infections are caused by Bordetella bronchiseptica and C. felis (Chlamydophila felis).

Respiratory infections are fairly common in cats, especially amongst feral cat colonies due to the highly contagious nature of the illness.

Typical symptoms of an upper respiratory infection are coughing and sneezing, clear and cloudy discharge from the nose and eyes, red and weeping eyes, lethargy, fever, lack of appetite, and possibly even wheezing or difficulty breathing. Other related symptoms you may notice are: mouth ulcers, enlarged lymph nodes, and excessive squinting. Your cat may be lethargic and may not be interested in eating. They may also develop a fever (higher than 102.5 degrees).

If any of these symptoms cause great discomfort or persist for a week even in mild cases, then it may be a good time to get your kitty checked by a vet.

Effective treatment depends on what type of infection your cat has, how long they have had the symptoms, and their overall health. If your cat has mouth ulcers (stomatitis) along with the cold this should be treated immediately as your cat will be in too much pain and may refuse to eat anything. 

If this occurs, take your cat to see a vet and also try our Oral Health for Cats remedy to help ease the pain and inflammation of mouth ulcers.

Kennel cough in cats is not as common as in dogs, but cats can also contract Bordetella bronchiseptica. Symptoms of kennel cough in cats includes coughing (possibly even dangerous whooping cough), fever, nasal discharge, and loss of appetite. This can quickly turn into pneumonia and requires supportive medical care.

Breathe Easy has been shown to help relieve symptoms in older kittens (over 8 weeks old) and senior cats (age 8 years and older) who are otherwise in good health. Follow dosing instructions carefully. For smaller kittens start off with half the regular dose.

Recovery from pneumonia is dependent on many factors, including how severe the infection is, how long your cat has been sick, and your cat’s overall health.
