Cats can get flu symptoms like sneezing and nasal discharge even if vaccinated, as stress and low immunity increase susceptibility. Homoeopathic remedies like Allium cepa, Kali mur, Arsenicum, and Natrum mur can help prevent and treat cat flu based on the symptoms, addressing any stressors contributing to vulnerability. The document recommends homoeopathic remedies as an alternative or addition to conventional vaccination and treatment for cat flu.

1. Cat Flu
Dogs rarely get flu symptoms with sneezing and runny eyes and nose like
humans do, but for cats this is a common problem. Cats can get flu even if
they have had the conventional vaccination from a vet
because low general immunity and stress are important causes, for
example the stress of going to a boarding cattery, moving house, being
old etc.
Homoeopathic cat flu nosode given every few
months and again just prior to boarding can help
prevent cat flu and is also useful as treatment for
an affected cat. As well as the nosode you can give a homoeopathic
remedy to fit the symptoms taking into account any stressors that
contributed to vulnerability to the virus in the first place.
Consider Allium cepa for copious running of nose and sore eyes, Kali
mur for thick white discharge and mouth ulcers, Arsenicum if restless
and cold or Nat mur if ‘egg white like’ discharges and unsociable and
seemingly depressed. In fact choose remedies to treat the symptoms just
as you would for a person.
