Yes. It's the simplest of the formulas, with the fewest ingredients, I think. It's bright orange. The different formulas are diffferent colors. Michelle   In a message dated 6/19/2006 9:12:50 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Thanks for that, Michelle!  I'm willing to t

Triaminic, the orange version, is a children's cold remedy that really helps clear congestion. A vet told me to give .2 ml (that's point 2, not 2) to Ginger when she was too stuffed up to eat, and it really seemed to make her feel better and help her start eating. Michelle   In a message dated 6

Thanks Kelley, I've archived the info! Nina What my vet told me is that the Albuterol works to make them feel better - it breaks up the chest/nasal congestion they have when they have a URI. This is good because when they feel better and can smell their food they start eating. I had a k

I wish I could be of more help with Chatty's impersonation of Darth Vadar. Starman, (my hulking FIV guy), was congested and breathing the same way when he showed up. I wasn't thrilled about doing it, but I took my vet's advice and put him on Baytril. It did clear it up and so far, it hasn't

Hello Jen, I'm sorry to hear that Chatty isn't doing well right now. I hope he feels better very soon. Roxane and I were just posting about Little Noses. I did go out and buy it, so I know it was a positive recommendation from someone on the list at the time. Here's a paste from the email

I think this topic may have been covered recently...but was there any consensus on a good decongestant for cats? Long story short, we think the herpes virus is wreaking havoc on poor Chatty (FIV+)...he was given a steriod to help reduce the inflammation in his gums due to stomatitis, and that was
