Stop Snoring Remedies

Question by femsidhe: Can cats have a cold?
I just took a kitten from my sister and I think it has a cold. It’s a young female cat, I think about 4 months old. She was covered in old flea wounds and then rolled in flea powder, she puffed powder when petted. She was also not fixed, forced to live outside in cold and rainy Washington, and my sister lives on a busy intersection. So I told her I was taking it because she obviously can’t care properly for a cat. My sister and I disagree on proper pet care because she’s an unlicensed dog breeder, she’s already bred her Toy Poodle twice and she isn’t even a year old yet. She keeps her breeders in a plastic kennel with very limited freedom and uses piddle pads instead of letting them outside. Now that I have the kitten she’s an indoor only cat with access to an attached greenhouse/ indoor pool/ conservatory, I got her an appointment to get spayed, spotted her with a monthly flea treatment, and got her tags. The only issue I still have with her is she keeps lightly wheezing and she sneezes boogers all over. My sister claims she has allergies, I’m thinking she either has a cold or the flea powder messed up her respiratory system. I first noticed it because she snores horribly, she only wheezes when she’s resting, otherwise she’s purring or pouncing on and wrestling with my daughter’s Chihuahua. She will be seeing the vet next week, I was just wondering if there was something I could do for her now to help her breath better.

Yes, cats get cold and upper respiratory infections. It can be fatal in very young kittens. It sounds like yours is maintaining fine, as long as she’s eating and drinking and has a good energy level. Unless you can get her appt move to a sooner date, there’s not much you can do in the meantime.

I only snore when it is cold outside and I wake up all congested as if I have a cold the entire time during autumn and winter. When I wake up, my mouth tastes like it is full of mucus (I know… very disgusting). I have tried some other decongestants (store brands and Tylenol) but I have not tried Sudafed because I am fearful that it could be habit forming. I have tried breathe right strips and their throat sprays but those do not work at all. I believe my snoring is caused by my being congested during these times but I am no expert. Once I am awake and start moving around for the day, my congestion leaves me completely until during the night while I’m sleeping.

I would love to find a remedy because I miss sleeping next to my wife. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ok, how about someone who isn’t trying to sell me something answer?
Or better yet, other than the three idiots who have already answered, the first person to say Sudafed works with nasal congestion will get the points.

As for the other products/answers… your products DON’T DO ANYTHING for nasal congestion so not only do you deserve to not get any points, you deserve to get slapped.

Okay, I realize the only way to actually get rid of a pesky little cold virus is to rest, drink fluids, and wait it out. What I want to know are the best techniques, medications, herbal remedies, etc. for temporary relief of my symptoms.

My symptoms are a stuffed up/running nose, fatigue, and a minor sore throat. Tomorrow, I have a date! Not only that, but it is the first time I am spending the night at his place! I do not want to cancel, because that has already happened once before and I don’t want him to think I am making excuses!

So what I need is to get rid of my symptoms to have an enjoyable evening, and I would also like to know if there is a way to get rid of my congestion for the entire night so that I do not snore or breath through my mouth and drool, as I tend to do when I am sick. How embarrassing would that be?!

Please help! Let me know your quick fixes, no matter how obvious or bizarre they may be! If it works for you, I wanna know! Thanks!

Normal?
She had a cold at 8 weeks, shes now 1 year and 1 week old.
Shes in perfect health apart from having a stuffy nose again.
Anything i can do to help her? I think i can just about remember what the vet told me to do last time but i’d like a re-cap :]
