Question by Tiffany: Any suggestions for a cat with swollen lips?
One of my cats has developed swollen lips. He also has a cold like symptom- his nose is sometimes stuffy. Other then that he is fine. I am keeping him separate from my others. I believe it might be a form of herpes. I have given him Clavomox and now I am trying Bytril. I have given him L-Lysine, but perhaps I didn’t give him enough because nothing seems to work. I work with a rescue group and know a lot about vet medicine. I have succefully treated many cat ailments. I have seen this symptom before, but I don’t recall how I have treated it. I have not had a chance to discuss this with other members of the group I volunteer with, and thought someone out there can also give me some insite. If anyone out there can tell me what has been prescribed for their cat or any veterinarians out there with some free advise for someone who has spayed/nuetered 1000’s of cats, I would greatly appreciate it.
Newsflash Wisk- Allthough many vet meds and human meds are simalar, I E Clavomax is a lower dosage of the human form of Augmentant, which is a very low dose antibiotic, vet medicine and human medicine are quite different. Although I don’t know a lot about human meds, I have done a lot of research on vet meds.I thought I could find, and still hope to find, someone more knowlwdgable then someone who has done research on “cat food” on this website. By the way, I have never had a cat die because I didn’t know what to feed it, based on your previouse answere, you at one time needed help in that area. Can you explain the causes, symptoms and treatment for say-Feline Infectious Peritonitis–I can, and my vet of several years can attest to that.

Can you explain the causes, symptoms and treatment for say-Feline Infectious Peritonitis, or Panleukopenia, I can, and my vet of several years can attest to that. Because of my background of working on the other side of the table from a vet doing spays/nueteres and discussing everything in detail with my vet, I would also know the differance between “free advise” that was ligitamate or not.

If you are using plastic bowls they can harbor bacteria. Change to ceramic or stainless steel that are better cleaned. Have you had the cat tested for leukemia and aids? It may be an immune issue also.
