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

My night companion

Mom got a humidifier for me long time ago ( early of my illness on March 2023 ) but it freak me out.

Guys, look at it ! ... its like volcano eruptions ! .. No way I'm getting close to this stuff.

Since then, mom keeps it as useless item. She thought maybe it's suitable for people who live in dry weather not humid.

Then...one night I got very sticky nose...like it's so hard for me to breath through. I couldn't sleep. I sneezed I drank lots of water but it did nothing to my sticky mucus. Last thing I did, I went to stand in front of a bathroom. Asking mom to open a door for me. I remembered mom used to take me there when she have a shower. And I felt so much better to breath. 

Mom opened a door for me. She knew straight away humidity help me breathe better. That's why I asked to open a bathroom. She saw the wet floor starts to dry out because the weather is very hot. She knew a humidifier will works well in this situation but it freaked me out. 

So mom comes back in a bathroom and put a humidifier while I sleep deeply. To be sure she doesn't wake me up. She turns the back of humidifier to me so the light doesn't disturb my sleep.

Later I learned to live in the same room with humidifier... MOL

Since then, I sleep better ❤️

🐈‍⬛

 updated a roller-coaster 🐾.

Yesterday I was very very good. I can sit on my furry butt and ate mushy treats. I made beautiful products in my litter. Everything seems to head to a good direction.

then... Today I got bleeding nose again in the evening. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.

Detox

One week has passed, and I'm still alive 

🐈‍⬛ 

❤️

Last time. I stopped drinking and eating by myself. Less pee and no poop for 5 days.

After three days syringe feeding and a drug. I was chocked. 

Yep, I chocked right after mom did syringe feeding and dropped a pill in my mouth. Like I'm going to die. I scared mom to death. She stopped my medication (Carbocisteine : Expetan )

Normal side effects : headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gastric discomfort and bleeding

Rare side effects : wheezing, tightness in the chest or throat, trouble breathing or meowing and mouth, face, lips, tongue or throat start swelling.

 

Taking too much Carbocisteine is unlikely to harm ( from my records 3 days max.)

The forth day, she fed me recovery food from syringe, I barfed badly. 

Now no more syringe feeding. ( drug, food & water )

For mom, ' Kitty Barf ' is a good signal. It's detox. After that, I ate, and drink by myself. Not a normal level but it's a signal of hope. My weight slightly gain. Yesterday, it's 7.15 kg ( 15.76 lb ). I made my products for two days now ( few tiny little poop ). But my blocking noses still be a problem. But we have hope.

Me and mom is very appreciated all your kind words, good thought, purrs and prayers. Thanks to you all. We can't get back to you yet because mom and me are very exhausted. We will try our best to keep it up and stay with pawsitive vibes.

Lots of love  ❤️❤️

My mom's worst fear

( Image of Puddy, A week before he is getting worst )

Hello dear friends 🐈‍⬛

Me get to the point... to tell you all...

It's likely that my life will seep away... soon or not ?

Me and mom really don't know...

but my furry body starts to show many bad body signals.

🍂 

How it happens,

Last three weeks ago, My nose stopped bleeding. I was doing really well even I still have a leaking nose ( one nostril ) but I can eat, drink, make my products, clean myself, sharpen my claws and I have some energy to have my morning walk ( short patrol ).

From that point on, me and mom thought me can live .. like an old mancat for many years to come.

Then.. the weather turned bad .. a sudden and extreme change in temperature. It was really really hot for a couple days ( 38°C/ 100.4°F ) even we have AC.

After that my nasal discharge turns sticky...like really sticky. But this time, mom couldn't do anything to help me because its nasal cavity.

😿 

Not for long... 

My furry body denied everything. I stopped drinking, eating, peeing less and no more poop.

Mom took me to see a doctor ( his name is ' Bird ' ), Mom told him my history of a chronic cold. Showing him her daily notes about my symptoms. Asking for help desperately. 

" His discharge is very sticky.. any medication to ease?  "

" Anythings you can inject him to boost up his appetite or rehydrated ? "

🐾 🐾 

After we got home : mom just found out actually the VET can treat me by injecting the fluids under my loose skin but he didn't offer me at all. He knows I am dehydrated.

He gave me a medication to help my nasal discharge ' Carbocysteine 375 mg : Brand Flemmex )' , my booster  ( Mirtazapine 15 mg : Remeron ), and Viyo Recuperation ( the VET forgot to give mom at the end. Luckily, mom asked for it because this one is a game changer, it made me drink. )

Later, I slightly get better. I starts to drink by myself... not normal level but it's enough to make mom smile. I made my products after 5 days ( tiny little poop like made by a kitten ). I didn't eat by myself but mom can feed me by syringe.

We are looking forward with hope...

Today... my other nostril starts leaking. Now I have both . In the afternoon, I got bleeding nose. My mom starts to lose her hope. She starts to talk none sense to me...

' Puddy, I love you very very much. But if you are suffering, You can let's go. I only wish you peace and happiness. I understand if you must go, don't endure the pain. I will be very very sad but I will be okay. I love you my darling boy. and it's forever, remember that .. love you'

I didn't wait for mom to finish her sentence ...

My style... Puddy's style, I never coped with her being sooky la la. ( that's why mom always think I don't understand what she said ) I deal with a moment. I do my best. I walk to my glass. Mommy quickly follow me. ( She have to hold a glass for me, I need a special level to drink 

😹 MOL

I don't know what the future hold. I just want to thanks you all for being my friends for this long. Thanks for your supported even me was not making a regular visit.

Lots of love 💕

Hi, you 🐈‍⬛ 💕 .. How are ya ?

'A cat has nine lives ' 

.. me, Puddy is one of them 

🐈‍⬛

Me feel soooo good 💕 I am good as New Old ManCat. I haven't gone out in a long .. loooong time ( A month of chronic cold ). Me made myself stayed indoor. Mom didn't ask me to do but she was so glad that I did that. Simply, I just didn't go down stair. Mom actually surprised. She is soooper proud of me.

For me, it was not a best time to sneezes sneak around at all, wasn't it ? Cause kitty cold will go around in a domino effect. I don't do that to my next door kitties. Seriously, Me can't let them see me not handsome ( leaking nose ) 

Hello Summer 💕 Hello Sunshine 💕

A nice day like this.

Me, kitty has a big plan !

Sure, I do 

😸

Note to mom : 

March 19, 2023 - Puddy stopped to go down-stair by himself, he only spent time up-stair.

My Booster

Without my nutrients & nutrition, It's impawsible I could get better.

That's why me would love 💕to share with you guys.

if you, kitties do have other boosters to share with me & our furry friends,

Please feel free to make a comments, Thanks

'Egg is providing energy, antioxidants for immune support and more.

Eggs contain a surprising number of vitamins,

including Vitamins A, B12, D, E, Biotin, Riboflavin and Thiamine '

Raw Eggs yolk 🐈‍⬛ 

Warning : Actually it's not recommended for kitties or woffies to eat at all. Due to Salmonella poisoning so you guys must make your own decision. To be safe you can also eat cooked eggs.

Youtube : 'The truth about raw eggs for cats'

Me & mom believes a wild side of life. Mom did a lots of research before she offered me a raw egg yolk. She never force me to eat (excepted my pills and food syringe). Me, Puddy cat always have a final say. I often denied bad/ expired/ sh*t food. If it's not to my palate 😸. We kitties only eats great stuffs ..tee..heh

Recommended Portion & How often : One egg yolk a week, Max 

Puddy is 14 years old : weight 7 - 8 + kg. ( 16.7 + lb ) ~ I could only eat 3/4 of yolk a day

Not just an egg yolk boosted up my energy.

As you can see I got a nice collection here.

I only talk about the one you guy have to watch out.

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

All boosters seriously saved my life. It's a key role to help me get better. Mom believed it's better than some medicine. And she can see me enjoy even she did Food Syringe to me. 

Nowadays I don't need Food Syringe. I get much more better, I can eat food by myself. Me would love to share because me do love you guys. Mom loves to have a record as well she is forgetful 😸

Food Syringe 🐈‍⬛ 

Puddy age 14 years old : weight 7 - 8 + kg. ( 16.7 + lb )

🐈‍⬛ Recovery Food

- 6 cc. a meal ( Min. ) : 2 Meals a day.

It is a food to support cats and dogs recovering from surgery or illness. It can be any brand you like.

🐈‍⬛ Blood Booster ( Kitty Supplement )

Mom mixed it with my mushy treat.

2 big drops a meal : One or two Meals a day.

It can be any Cat Supplements you like. I tried several but I love this one. Please make sure your pawrents read all things in papers and box. Some supplements are dangerous for some conditions of kitties.

🐈‍⬛ Krill Oil

Mom give me 500 mg ( from a capsule ) mixed with my favorite mushy treats. 

Once a day : Every two-three days ( Max. )

If you prefer Fish Oil, you can go for it. It doesn't need to be Krill Oil. It's just a source of Omega 3 we kitties need. Many articles advised our human should get the one, specially formulated for cats and dogs only. Mine is a human krill oil. Mom read all ingredients on a bottle it doesn't lack of anything so she offered a drop first, if I denied or it won't show a sign of improvement, she planed to go get the special one for pets, but I did eager to eat and my conditions were improving so we stuck with this one.

🐈‍⬛ Love from our pawrents 💕💖

Unlimited love from our pawrents is a must !

Of course, They do love us .. LOTS 💕 but when we kitties were sick, most of them are too worried and too stressed. Sometime, they forgot to show love, or do it less than normal. 

Kiss, hug, pet your belly, rub your chin & head, brushing your fur, massage your shoulders or even tell you how handsome/beautiful you are, how much they love you ...anything... anything that can help you kitties feel relaxing and purrs 💕

Remember ? Stress can weaken your immune systems to you both human & kitties.

So pawsitive vibes & purrs is the best.

💕💖💕 🐈‍⬛ 💕💖💕

Long live the cat !

Long live the kitties !!!

Remedies for kitty cold

As you can see ...

My nose is improving 💕 ..95% I feel so much better 😸

Me as a handsome guinea pig would love to share..

Home Remedy for Kitty Cold to be your option to cure.

My mom would love to share her experiences with your pawrents as well.

Of course, she is not a VET, and not qualified any medications.

🐾🐾

Note : You can skip reading if you are not on it, 

Mom wants a record because of forgetful... lol 😹

🐾🐾

Pick up on conversation when I first see my VET at an Animal Hospital : March 9, 2023

" Actually, I am not agrees to offer an antibiotic for a sick pet. " ~ My first doctor said to my mom

" and why you give it to them ? " My mom is curious

" It's because they asked for it. Most people wants an instant results for their pet, they want to see a quick improvement. The truth is.. many of them are resistant to treatment with antibiotics. We have to keep changing a type of antibiotic, but it becomes harder to cure. ' ~ My first doctor explained

3 days later my nose was bleeding ( see first picture ) it's not because an antibiotic but a pill to stop my running nose ( Cetirizine: Quitex ), but I have a chronic cold so mom decided to stop all my medication. A pick up on conversation made her tried to find out more about my medication. then she found some articles said..

"Not every cat needs antibiotics,

and we're starting to see cats with antibiotic-resistant infections.

But if clinical signs recur or worsen " 

~ News release prepared by: Erinn Barcomb-Peterson : Kansas State University 

 

Mom thought this is what happened to me. An antibiotics cause me a prolong cold. Mom found a way to fix it, Probiotic is my cure. Natural probiotic for cats is yogurt and pumpkin. Roast pumpkin is my favorite food but it's mushy. Since I have a runny nose & wet cough. I don't touch mushy & jelly food. I only eat dried food to avoid irritation in throat ( phlegm ). And pumpkin is too thick to insert into syringe so mom gives me yogurt to fix my gut, fix my PH.

Yogurt for kitty 🐾🐾

Warning : make sure the yogurt doesn't contain any sugar substitutes like xylitol, because this can be toxic to cats. Plain Yogurt only

Portion & How often : Don't feed your cat more than three tablespoons per week.

Puddy weight 7 - 8 + kg. ( 16.7 + lb ) : I am a big boy. Mom thinks my body is high-sensitivity so she only gives 0. 5 cc. of yogurt a day. And she only give me every 2-3 days.

🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

Without VET medication, How my mom can fix me ?
I was weak, I have lots of runny nose, cough, unable to eat by myself, hardly sleep
plus super stressful.

🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

What mom learns in her old age. Most of her sickness come from weak immune system ( eating sh*t food, lack of some nutritious, lack of sleep and due to stressful ), inflammation & bad bugs.

How she cares herself, she will do the same to me.

so sicky Puddy cat will need..

1 ) Good nutritious food to help my body fight bad stuffs ( Syringe Feeding )

2 ) Somethings to reduce inflammation so my nose can stop bleeding & healing

3 ) Somethings to kill all bad guys inside my furry body ( bacteria, virus, fungal, parasites, whatever it is ... we want to kill it all ! Massacre !!!!  )

4 ) Some good sleep ( Mom must not wake me up to eat on time, I am a sick kitty for COD SAKE ! I need more napping )

5 ) Drink lots of water ( I'm brilliant at drinking )

6 ) Do not stress me MORE ! ( mom must not force me to eat too quick, too much. she have to remind herself I need time to swallow ( Syringe feeding ), Do not try to unblocked my nose too often )

7 ) Love me 💗💖 ( Hug me, pet me, brushing me, tell me she loves me as usual. Mom notices once I purrs, I actually breath normal and feel comfort )

🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

Reduce inflammation for kitty 🐾🐾

How can we stop a bleeding nose ? I need something reduce inflammation. So Krill Oil is my purrfect choice. Mom offered me Krill Oil and Fish Oil, Me picked Krill Oil ( a relative of prawns you know ?  🍤 😻)

Krill oil for kitty 🐾🐾

Puddy weight 7 - 8 + kg. ( 16.7 + lb ) :  Mom give me 500 mg ( from a capsule ) mixed with my favorite mushy treats. I actually eat it all.

🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

Massacre all bad bugs in my guts 🐾🐾

To my sickness, I need somethings to kill bad bugs inside my fury body, so Turmeric is my winner !  Anti-Oxidant, Anti-inflammatory, Anti-fungal, Anti-cancer effects.

Turmeric for kitty 🐾🐾

Portion & How often :  ¼ teaspoon for cats or small breeds, daily.

Puddy weight 7 - 8 + kg. ( 16.7 + lb ) :  I am a big boy. Mom thinks my body is high-sensitivity so she only gives very tiny amounts ( less than quantity for small kitty ). Mom gives me turmeric everyday. ( Breakfast & Dinner ). Turmeric is not normal food for kitty. To be safe she mix turmeric with oat and my favorite treat. I love Oat though. This magic powder really makes me get better... It's Obvious 💖

Now I get better, mom reduces turmeric to be once a day.

🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

Vitamin C for kitty 🐾🐾

Some says kitties and woffies can produce our own vitamin C. but we think I do need it. Blueberry, is my mom's choice because she has them for her smoothie and it works for her cold. It is safe for cats. It's highly anti-oxidant and vitamins ( including C ). So it may help me stop a runny nose.

Blueberry for kitty 🐾🐾

Warning : We kitties are Carnivore, remember ? Keep it as a treat. Keep in mind is sugar content. * Not safe for kitties who has kidney disease, allergic, diabetes *

Recommended Portion & How often : Two to three blueberries are an appropriate amount. One or two times a week, max.

Puddy weight 7 - 8 + kg. ( 16.7 + lb ) : I am a big boy. Mom thinks my body is high-sensitivity so she only gives me 1 blueberry (only juice). Sometime she mixed it with tiny amount of Manuka honey. Syringe feeding me about 0.5 cc. two times a week, max.

🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

Stay hydrated  🐾🐾  Drink a lots of water

My blood results showing I was dehydrated plus I have a cold. Everyone know water is good for us. I do well with drinking a lot of water. Mom placed a glass of water in several spots and put on different high so I can manage myself to drink when mommy goes to work or sleep. For occasional she will give me Coconut Water as well. She know I love coconut water so when a local fruit truck comes, she will buy for us ( we share 😊😽 )

Coconut Water 🐾🐾

Coconut water is safe for kitties, is a natural source of electrolytes and potassium, which can help kitties stay hydrated. It's a good alternative to plain water for cats with kidney disease or undergoing dialysis treatment. And it's anti-oxidant.

Warning : Keep in mind coconut water is high sugar content, large amount of phosphorus * Not safe for kitties who has allergic, diabetes. It could getting a risk of hyperphosphatemia

Puddy weight 7 - 8 + kg. ( 16.7 + lb ) : Mom only give me one cc. a day. Once in a blue moon.

Home Remedy for kitty cold 

🐾

*Please keep in mind my home remedy for kitty cold

*It could be dangerous for some kitties,

Ask your VET or learn more before you are using it *

As you all know...

I've been having a chronic cold for a month and two week now.

It's too long for kitty like me.

🐾 

🐾 

My symptoms is up & down.

At some point, my mom was not sure how I could have survived.

She sleep with one eye open. I often woke her up because I couldn't breath.

Mom stopped using the medication from the VET.

because it could not cure me, it gave me bad side effects, and prolong my symptoms.

( bleeding nose, not eating, not make my products, extremely fatigue )

🐾 

🐾 

🐾 

🐾 

My mom use natural home remedy to cure me.

It's a slow burn.... but it works !

Finally, I got no bleeding nose, no blocking nose, no sneezing whole day.

I can eat & drink by myself. No feeding syringe !

I goes to litter tray making my products as usual.

Me bath myself, sharpen my claws.

I still have a little bit running nose sometime, not all the time.

Finally, I can sleep tight. I can put my head down and breath easily.

I'm not yet 100% myself because I couldn't make myself eat prawns LOL

But I back to eat my jelly treat today. I couldn't eat it since I got a chronic cold.

Mom is so happy.

🐾 

🐾 

🐾 

🐾 

Yes, I am a survivor ! I am immortal !!!

Mom takes photos under my nose every morning to see where mucus blocking,

the way she unblocked it, tell you the truth, I absolutely hate it !

Once I get better... 

Who is going to let her touch my nose ever again ?

Talk to a paw mommy !

( Me put my paw closed her phone's camera .. MOL )
