Re: My poor little baby Coco

The antiBs should help keep the secretions from becoming thick, but if her nose gets blocked, she may go off her food as the smell of the food is part of the taste for them, if that makes sense. If she does start to go off her food, try extra smelly stuff like sardines, or mackerel - my lot LOVE the skinless boneless sardines from Sainsburys. Warming their food a little can also help increase the odour and make it more appetising if you need to tempt her.

Like kids with colds, warm steamy atmospheres can help if she gets a blocked nose, so either a bed in the bathroom whilst you have a hot bath, or put her in her carrier, close the door and put a large bowl of very hot water in front and cover with a towel. Karvol or sudafed plug ins can help too.

If she is eating and drinking thats a very good sign, if you can keep her happy and her energy up that will be a huge part of the battle, and the antibs can keep the worse affects of the virus under control, until it has run its course.
