How to Treat Cat Rhinotracheitis? These Aspects Need Attention
If the cat is not troubled by any disease, it is basically hard to see the cat, because it is either climbing walls or going up and down high places, and even if it is resting, it would not obediently stay by us like a dog. However, once the cat gets cat rhinotracheitis or similar diseases, the cat will become completely docile due to severe physical discomfort. As pet owners, we would rather have the cat ignore us than have it suffer from cat rhinotracheitis. That said, some cats are indeed prone to this disease. So how should cat rhinotracheitis be treated? Let's take a look today.

First, when we find that the cat shows symptoms of cat rhinotracheitis, we must immediately isolate the sick cat, especially if there are multiple cats in the household. In addition, timely disinfection of the indoor environment is needed, with a focus on thoroughly disinfecting the sick cat’s small nest and the items it has used.

Secondly, we should give the cat lysine supplements, because lysine can inhibit the cat rhinotracheitis virus and reduce its harm. At the same time, specific treatment should be given according to the cat’s condition. For example, if the cat has nasal congestion, we should promptly use cotton swabs to clear the cat’s nose. If the cat is coughing, we should administer cough medicine.
Moreover, during the treatment of cat rhinotracheitis, we should provide nutritional supplements by feeding the cat foods with higher nutritional value. This helps strengthen the cat’s physical resistance so it can get rid of the virus as soon as possible.

Generally, if we follow the above methods to "deal with" cat rhinotracheitis, it will not cause further damage to the cat’s health. However, it is important to note that the virus is highly aggressive towards cats with poor physical condition. Therefore, whether or not our cats have suffered from cat rhinotracheitis before, we need to enhance their constitution and improve their disease resistance during daily care.
