Cat Flu
24 hours after picking up our Charlie from the cattery (we'd been on a week's hols) he started sneezing and snorting, shaking his head and being generally miserable.
We took him to the vet yesterday and she confirmed cat flu. A course of antibiotic tablets (great fun!) and advice to make sure he is eating plenty of wet food. That seems to be it.
Looking at the symptoms online, it sounds like there may be worse to come. Poor fella is already suffering long bouts of sneezing and coughing.
I've informed the cattery and they told me they've just seen two cats come down with it.

I'd recommend you keep her in whilst she's ill, preventing the spread of it further.
His eyes and nose are very runny with clear mucus and we bathe this away with warm salt water every few hours. I hate seeing him like this.
He's a big, healthy cat, so hopefully he will get through it OK.
Our one had this after his first vaccs, still dont understand why he got it when he was meant to have just been vacc against it.
Dose of anti biotics and he was ok.
Wishing you the best
A tip our vet gave us when our cat had a bad case of flu, olbas oil on a tissue, so it clears their airways, and we used small syringe to get water into her, and give them really smelly food to eat, like sardines or mackerel, hope he'll be ok.
Many thanks for all the advice and kind wishes.
