Methods to prevent cat colds:

1. Avoid catching cold. When the weather is cold and humid, do not let your cat outdoors for a long time. If you bathe your cat in daily life, you must use a hair dryer to dry the cat's wet hair thoroughly to prevent colds.

2. Maintain environmental hygiene. The cat’s living environment must be disinfected and cleaned in a timely manner, especially sleeping mats that must be aired and cleaned regularly.

3. Maintain a suitable room temperature. Cat owners should pay attention to the temperature of the cat’s living environment. It is best to control the temperature at around 25 degrees.

4. Balanced nutrition. Enhance your cat’s dietary nutrition to improve your cat’s immunity.

5. Open windows for ventilation. Open the windows appropriately for ventilation, otherwise bacteria will accumulate indoors and affect the cat's health.

How to solve a cat’s cold:

1. Keep warm and take more care. Increase nutrition to improve the cat's own resistance until it recovers naturally. Cats with high body temperatures and not eating will need intravenous fluids.

2. Take the cat to the pet hospital and intramuscularly inject antipyretic and analgesic drugs such as 0.1ml of 5% metapyrine or 0.5ml of compound aminopyrine solution.

3. To control upper respiratory tract inflammation, go to the hospital for intramuscular injection of antibiotics or sulfonamides; or take oral cotrimoxazole, 15 to 30 mg/kg, twice a day. Be careful not to feed the patient in human amounts.
