There is no safe over-the-counter cold medicine for cats, and most cat colds do not need medicine at all. What people call a cat cold is a feline upper respiratory infection. Around 80 to 90 percent of these are viral, caused by feline herpesvirus or feline calicivirus. Antibiotics do nothing against a virus. Most mild cases clear on their own in 7 to 10 days with warmth, hydration, food your cat can smell, and steam to loosen a blocked nose. Medicine becomes necessary when the cause is bacterial, when a secondary bacterial infection develops on top of the virus, or when the cat is a kitten, elderly, or already unwell. Only a vet can tell which of these you are dealing with, and that is the whole reason there is no shelf product for it. What you can do today, safely, is in the home care section further down this page. What you must not do is in the next section, and it is the most important thing here. Never Give a Cat Human Cold Medicine Paracetamol kills cats. Cats lack the liver enzyme that breaks it down, and a single 500mg tablet can kill an average adult cat. There is no safe dose. Almost every human cold and flu product sold in India contains paracetamol, including Crocin, Sinarest, D-Cold, Vicks Action 500 and Coldarin. Also unsafe: Decongestants such as pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine. These cause dangerously high blood pressure, racing heart and seizures in cats. Aspirin.
