1. Ophelia, 2 y/o, female 2. Spayed 3. Siamese mixed with Domestic Shorthair 4. 3.8 kg

5. BEAM: sleeps more - lower energy especially noticeable during dawn & dusk: stays asleep or doesn't move much, no zoomies, no playtime - less energetic when playing, won't jump/run as usual, slightly lighter appetite, good mood- as usual.

6. Diet: The Honest Kitchen Whole Food Clusters Grain Free Chicken Recipe Dry Food with 10% of her previous food Kirkland Signature Maintenance Cat Chicken & Rice that she needs in order to eat the new food; TREATS: The Honest Kitchen Dehydrated White Fish Filets Treats & Raw Tuna (we tried 3 types of wet food & raw beef & salmon- she won't eat it- She consumes lots of fresh water)

7. Vaccination: 08/2024: FVRV-FCV-FPV Vaccine, MLV; Exposure to toxins: possible pesticides from plants/grass in the yard.

8. Ophelia has been coughing/gagging & sneezing for the last 3-4 days. There is some mucus coming out of her nose and some foam from her mouth + higher amount of eye discharge. See videos attached. Yesterday she snored for the first time. She also threw up for the first time 4-5 days ago.

9. The condition seems to be equal through the day. She'll be coughing 3-5 x / day for 5-60 seconds same for sneezing. It also happens during the night.

10. No diagnostic 11. No treatment. 12. No other health concerns. 13. @Dr. Jeff

At first we suspected a hairball, but now a few days later and with the regular sneezing plus the low energy, it looks like a virus or allergies? I would like to know if I can try to give her supplements, if so which ones or if I should get her examinated. Ophelia has been living with us for 3 months so I don't know her previous health history. Thank you for your help!

Bonjour Allie!

Welcome to HA and thanks for making your first post about Ophelia.

Yes, allergies are an outstanding possibility based on the videos.

I would like to know if I can try to give her supplements


There are many, many supplements that can help the energetic immune balance. It sounds like it is lowering her BEAM in addition to producing the physical symptoms of seeing and coughing.

Here's a few:




Even more important than any supplement is balancing her immune system, inner terrain, and internal energy flow.

Have you taken the HA! 101 course yet? That's a great place to start.

Here's a few more resources to help inform your decision-making:




If you have further questions after reviewing the resources, you can always schedule a 15-minute Holistic Medical Decision Making (HMDM) call with Dr. Christina or me.

And tonight 8pm ET is the member tour and HA! questions with Aruna.
 
Bonjour Dr.Jeff,

I appreciate your rapid response. I will take a look at the ressources you provided and contact you if I need more help.

Thank you again!
 
Good Advice, Dr. Jeff.
and it is so great to see Ophelia out in the grass - so important for the immune system.
Now may be time to get a great holistic vet on board - some trained in homeopathy can work virtually.
read this article carefully and head to all the websites.

INMO, no need for exam yet.

DR. Christina
