Can I give my cat with heart murmur and cough natural home remedies?

There is not much to be done for a heart murmur in a cat. Regular checkups with a vet will hopefully be able to catch early heart failure when medications can be started. You can also talk to your vet about the cause of the heart murmur and talk to them about possible medications that can be started now in hopes of delaying heart failure. It sounds like the medications that Susie is on are a good start for IBD. Other things that can commonly help are probiotics, immune stimulants like antioxidants and acupuncture, hypoallergenic food diet, Feliway, and steroids. Without intestinal biopsies, IBD is nearly identical to intestinal lymphoma.

I have attached a link below that provides some general information on HCM. Your cardiologist may have given you much of this and i am sure has ruled out things like high thyroid (hyperthyroidism) and high blood pressure. The most important things are to rule out other diseases that can cause thickening, monitor at home for any changes, and follow up with your cardiologist to see if the disease is progressing. For cats that are diagnosed when asymptomatic (such as evaluation for a heart murmur) the disease may or may not advance. Many cats can live a long life if the disease does not advance.

Poor kitties. Coughing and sneezing in cats usually is caused by a viral infection which often is coupled with a secondary bacterial infection. You can start them on Lysine powder/gel over the counter at your local pet store to help with the cough. However most cats need oral antibiotics as well from the vet to treat this properly. You can also try to break up any mucous congestion by placing the kitties in the bathroom with a hot shower running for 5-10 minutes. This allows the steam to enter their airways and helps alleviate congestion. Perhaps one of these financial resources is able to assist you with your kitties and get them further care. carecredit.com redrover.org I wish you all the best.

Unfortunately no, there are not. Many human medications, especially OTC ones, can be toxic to cats and fatal if given. It's true that Buddha could be coughing because of a respiratory infection, but it could also be due to allergies or something more serious such as heart disease. I would have him seen by a vet. The vet can diagnose what is causing his cough, and can prescribe safe medications for him. I can also give you some things at home that may help him, and are safe to use in conjunction with medications from the vet. First, you can try starting him on an L-lysine supplement - this is an amino acid that has been shown to help the immune system fight off respiratory infections more effectively. Enisyl and Viralys are both good brands, and can be purchased over the counter without a prescription - just follow the dosing instructions on the label based on your cat's weight. If he's congested, you can also try using a humidifier or bringing him into the bathroom with the door closed while you take a hot shower - the steam and humidity help to break up congestion and temporarily relieve symptoms associated with respiratory infections. Good luck, I hope this helps!

No, I cannot recommend doing that. For one, I cannot legally say it's safe, and two I cannot say it's the correct treatment. Boo Boo could be coughing due to heart disease or respiratory disease. You need to have him seen by a vet tomorrow for this.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Coughing can be a sign of many conditions such as pneumonia, bronchitis, heart disease, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Mylo evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Likely diagnostics to be performed include thoracic radiographs and bloodwork. Treatment would be dependent on findings. Good luck and have a good day!

Colds are viral in nature, so supportive care is recommended. Occasionally, antibiotics may be prescribed to treat secondary infections. Coughs have many causes, so you would need to have Luna physically examined by your veterinarian to diagnose the underlying cause so that the appropriate treatment can be administered. Potential causes include infection (bacterial, fungal or viral), allergies, inflammatory conditions such as asthma, heart disease, trauma or foreign body.
