The flu infection is an upper respiratory infection. The age groups which seem most likely to be infected are the very young or the elderly or those with weak immune systems.

Symptoms of the flu are:

Eye inflammation also known as conjunctivitis may occur.  Your pet will experience a water discharge from their nostrils and you may hear them sneezing or coughing.

Fever usually occurs with flu infection. Use a rectal thermometer to measure the amount of fever. If the thermometer reds more than 101 degrees, see your cat  veterinarian.

Your cat may experience loss of appetite. When your cat cannot eat it is usually because they cannot smell their food. Feed your cat strong odor producing sardines. As a preventative measure you may wish to learn about cat flu care using home remedies for cats.

Mouth ulcers may also be making it painful for your cat to eat. If your cat is not eating or drinking see your cat veterinarian immediately.

One severe complication of a flu infection is pneumonia.

How can you diminish the side effects of flu or prevent a flu infection?

Keep self and other family members healthy by washing hands and clothing after handling an ill cat or kitten.

After a cat has been cured of the flu some cats may continue to infect other animals. Contaminated cats are known as carriers. It is my understanding once a cat is a carrier it will continue to do so for its lifetime. If your cat is a carrier you will need to separate it from other pets in the home.

Feline Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the eye. It’s more commonly known as “Cat Pink Eye” and is probably the most common eye problem cats have. Actually to provide a more precise definition, conjunctivitis is an inflamed conjunctiva, which is the thin, delicate membrane that covers the eyeball and lines the eyelid.

The conjunctiva also creates a seal with the nictitating membrane “the third eye.” (The nictitating membrane is a transparent or translucent third eyelid present in some animals like the cat that can be drawn across the eye for protection and to moisten the eye while also allowing visibility.)

A healthy conjunctiva is a slightly pale pink. When infected it swells and becomes much darker. This is why cats with conjunctivitis are often referred to as “pink-eyed.”

What are the Signs of Cat Pink Eye?

1. Frequent squinting – your kitty looks sort of like one of the “Lolipop Kids” from the Wizard of Oz.

2. Watery or mucous-like discharge that’s clear, yellow, and gray with pus.

3. The pink membrane lining, or conjunctiva, that surrounds kitty’s eye is a much darker pink almost red and swollen.

4. Third eye protrusion. The nictitating membrane actually begins to protrude a bit because of the swollen conjunctiva.

5. The part of the eye called the iris, the beautiful colored part of kitty’s eye will probably appear duller than usual or in some cases be an entirely different color.

6. Kitty is pawing or rubbing the eye.

7. Sometimes cat eye infections are accompanied by frequent sneezing and possibly an upper respiratory tract infection.

It is important to note that conjunctivitis should be treated as soon as possible. Although conjunctivitis is not life threatening, if it isn’t treated in time, can spread from the conjunctiva to other parts of the eye eventually causing severe damage to the cat’s eyesight.

Besides, all you have to do is take one look to know that the infectious condition is red, raw and sore. And you can tell immediately by paying attention to kitty’s behavior that Feline Conjunctivitis is a very upsetting condition. The sooner you get relief for kitty the better!
