Hi there,
May God bless you for adopting her!!
Is she a flat faced persian?
What does she eat?
Thanks,
Terri
No she isn't a flat face persian ... she is a Russian Black (?).
PAWS gave us a small bag of Science Diet dry cat food. My daughter has the cat with a 12 year old male who is also a Russian Black (?). She gave both cats some Tuna and they both yummed it up. When the Science Diet is almost gone, she will mix it with the special cat food that she gets from Flamingo Pet Clinic (for cats that are allergic to regular food).
Dear friend,
I am sorry the cat you were so kind to adopt has these issues. It is either allergic in nature or a low grade Herpes infection.

Add 100 mg of l-lycine to her daily water.
You can use little nose pediatric nose drops in her stuffed nostril.
Apply a damp teabag to the affected eye a few times a day.
Canned food is much better for her. PLEASE READ:

She can have an OTC called clortrimeton - a quarter tablet every 12 hours if she is congested. You can also take her in a steamy bathroom where you have run a hot shower to break it up.
