Hello New Normal

So far , So gooooood  😺

A week has passed...  

The evil running nose is NOT coming back for real.

Only sneezing a few time a day... Nothing more.

It's my new normal. It's absolutely fine for me.

A Question from A Friend

Me and mom really love to share what kills my nose bug. But we did not know for sure. My mom couldn't pinpoint even she has records. What we can tell is.. my 2-week timeline before I get better. 

You guys might see something, we don't.

Two weeks ago...

Mom took me to see a VET because I stopped eating, drink less, no poo, less pee. I felt fatigue. I was struggling to breath. A doctor gave me three things:

1) Carborcycteine , a pill to made my mucus less sticky

2) Mirtazapine: Remeron to boost up my appetite ( Every 3 days )

3) Viyo recuperation fluid for a very sick kitties who couldn't eat by themselves.

She gave me those for 3 days then my nose started to bleeding, Mom stopped my pills.

The next day I was choked by food syringe and vomited all. Mom stopped Mirtazapine and recuperation fluid

💔 .... That day.... she didn't want to force me anymore

Mom began to ask and answer to herself ( yes, she is crazy pawson)

' When I was sick ... Did I really want to eat ? '

' No, I didn't feel like eating.'

' Do it really matter if I skip meals ? '

' It did not matter at all, actually I felt good because my guts works less. What I need is sleeping. ... Many times Puddy knows what it's best for himself...Great !.. Let's him be then. '

So she let me be ..

Eat when I feel like it. No more food syringe. No more forced ... I did eat few dried kibbles by myself after vomiting. I did drink. I did nap a lots. Mom still did brushing for me because I couldn't do it myself ( due to sticky nose )..., a massage, a gentle petting....then I slightly got better in a few days.

Breath Easy is a pill for kitties who has cold. It made from all natural ingredients. It used to get rid of my cold. Later on.. during my sickness, it seems my body has rejected all kind of cold medication even Lysine treats. All makes my nose bleed that's why mom haven't given me in a while.

When I slightly got better, mom's gut tells her..

'What da hell. .. His nose is bleeding anyway. Juts give him Breath Easy only for 3 days and let's see. It might stop his running nose. It used to work !  If not the rest can go in a bin '

My nose was still running ... Nothing changed.

The forth day of a pill, my nose was bleeding again as she expected ( A hypersensitivity reactions ). Then she gave me krill oil to reduce inflammation, and yogurt to fix my guts.

Next day she shared me coconut water. 

Everyday I only ate dried food/treats

A few days later the weather is extremely hot, mom used a damp clothes to wipe me ( make sure my body temperature is normal ( head, chin, body but belly ).

In some points my nose was bleeding a lots till my mom secretly cried and searched for an urn. Next day, a miracle happens before she is making a purchase. All my sickness is GONE ! POOF !

Till now, me and mom still not sure what to make of this.


From my daily records. My symptoms turns whose one of those days :
1) The Extreme Weather or Barometric pressure changes
2) The Lunar Cycle (worse on the day before moon's phase )
3) The Fourth Day of Medication


I always feel better when ..
1) mom is brushing my fur
2) mom is doing massage my head & my body
3) mom is wiping me with damp cloth (cool down my body temperature), especially the back area near my tail.
4) night time sleeping with humidifier. ( on a very hot day : mom will add ice )
5) long nap


Mom can tell my temperature is not normal by
1) the heat from my forehead /chest /tongue : Mom will wipe me with damp cloth ( not too much )
2) the color of my tongue ( deep red means too hot / no poop ) : I will drink a lots , mom will wipe my butt with damp cloth.


Mom often counts my breathing rate while I sleep ( normal is 15 -30 per a minute ) If it's a bit fast ( but still normal ) , She will know I try to grab air so she will check my nose making sure nothing blocked. If nothing blocked it might be AC or Not AC. or I feel stressful. She will brush my fur. Once I purrs, everything will be fine.


I'm not sure you find the answer but I really hope it might be useful in some point... Purrs

Stay healthy & Have a great weekend

Lots of love
