Chandra~
When we have outbreaks of severe URI's at the shelter, we do use
humidifiers/vaporizers in our Felv rooms. And it does seem to help.
With one of my boys, who was prone to URI's, I would put him in my half
bath with the steam vaporizer on. It really worked wonders for him, and having
Immuno-regulin helped two of my cats with URI-- one of them had pneumonia.
It is an immune booster, you can get it through Revival online, and there are
articles about it on the felineleukemia.org web page.
Chemo is often very helpful to cats with lymphoma, though they say that

I haven't tried a vaporizer yet. I did try taking him
into the bathroom and letting it fill up with steam,
but it didn't seem to help much.
The vet gave me Euphorbium, which I have never heard
of, but it seems to be a homeopathic nasal spray for
humans. I was told to give him one squirt up
Are you sure that it is a cold and not lymphoma in his nasal passage? That
is one of the places that they get lymphoma. One of my cats who died of lymphoma
(I think, it was never definitively diagnosed) had a stuffy nose the whole time
he was sick and nothing helped and I feel pretty sure at
It could be. My husband actually suggested that it
might be caused by the cancer and not an infection,
but I don't think our vet ever said for sure. Maybe
that is why she said that it would either respond to
the meds or not.
I was a little out of it when we took him in
yesterday. Between me
I am, unfortunately, very familiar with the feeling of only sleeping an
hour or so due to checking constantly on a cat with cancer. I am sorry. It is
horrible.
Yes, I would think it would respond to the steroids too, but the steroids
kept Buddy going for about 3 months and generally
with persians, stuffy noses are very often a problem--sometimes it's
nothing more than their anatomy--if there was a tumor by his eyes, i'd
almost expect sinus/nasal impingement that even with the tumor
shrinking might persist. i'd go with the vaporizer, and nasal drops
if, as michelle said, it
Chandra,
I have a bottle of ImmunoRegulin that I ordered online
in November. Cricket only had two doses of it before
he passed and you are welcome to it if you want it.
Let me know.

Wendy,
Wow, that is so generous of you. You are so sweet.
You know, I was just telling my husband last night
that if Buddha has any meds left over when he passes,
I would like to see if it is possible to donate them
to someone else who is going through the same thing we
are but who might not be
i always ask them if they're ready to go, and try really hard to
listen to THEM, and not my own need to keep trying to help. i tell
them to tell me when it's time; i pay great attention to whether they
accept or fight treatment (fluids, force-feeding) i let them be by
themselves if that's
Hello Chandra,
As I was reading your post about Buddha's behavior, (responding to your
husband better), I was thinking that he may be preparing himself for the
transition, then when you said how uncharacteristic it is of him, and
how his personality seems to have changed... My Grace did the
Chandra,
What you and Buddha are going through is very common,
unfortunately, with cancer. All my babies who had cancer got that way when
they did not feel well. Sometimes they even hid. They went up and down,
though. Simon got so he did not want to be touched at all, would not touch
nina, i know what you mean about them disconnecting--i've often felt
that their spirits were gone before their bodies quite let go; i've
also seen them go into what looks like a meditative state, as if they
were making all their own preparations, regardless of their humans or
other companions.
Hey Chandra,
I am sorry that Buddha isn't doing well this
afternoon. That really stinks. Yes, the
ImmunoRegulin has to be injected into a vein. I was
totally opposed to that at first, because Cricket was
what they call fractious, which means he could really
act crazy at the vet. lol. But
I so hope it's true that their spirits leave before
their bodies give out. The thought of that makes me
feel better about Cricket's passing.
