Feline Respiratory Infection Treatment Should Look at the Whole

When looking for the treatment of feline respiratory infection, it's best to look at the whole picture, rather then just the local problem.
Why? Because the respiratory infection is merely an expression that all is not well on a deep level.
The immune system, in fact.
The infection only indicates that this is your cat's weak link.
One of the most common causes of feline respiratory infections is the diet.
Most people believe that processed cat food is the most nutritious cat food.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Apart from the fact it's cooked, it also contains very low grade meat (mostly meat by-products), cheap filler and highly toxic preservatives, whatever the label claims.
Even those recommended and sold by your vet will be the same.
I know of one vet who told his neighbour ((in private) that processed cat food was detrimental to their health.
Yet he sells it in his clinic.
Probably even promotes it.
So by addressing your cat's diet as a matter of priority, you will undoubtedly make an enormous difference to their health in the long term.
But how about now, the short term? Homeopathy works by bringing the immune system up quickly, so the patient is suddenly able to cure themselves.
Consulting a professional homeopath who treats animals may be your best option.
But if you don't mind doing some work, you may be able to do some successful home prescribing for your cat.
To do that, you need to match your cat's symptoms with the symptoms of the homeopathic medicine.
Only by doing this will you get good results.
One homeopathic medicine that has a great reputation of resolving feline respiratory infections (but by no means all) is Phosphorus.
The strong keynote symptoms of this medicine are:
  • recurring respiratory infections
  • coughs which linger and are caused by a tickle, are worse in the cold, in the evening, by strong odours or by a change in the weather
  • pneumonia, bronchitis or any lung disease which is in the left lung more than the right
  • generally won't lie on the left side as it's uncomfortable
On a deeper level, your cat may be very thirsty for cold drinks - indicated by drinking out of the toilet or ceramic plant saucers, both of which evaporate the water, cooling it.
Lungs and liver are connected at a deep level, meaning that if you have a problem with one organ, you're likely to have it with the other.
So your can may also have a problem such as hepatitis, jaundice or any other weakness.
