I tried to get her to drink water with ACV with mother as suggested here, but no go. For three days I have applied the ACV 1/2 water/vinegar solution to her paws and her neck—twice a day.
Unfortunately, I am unable to take her to a vet. How can I get her nasal passages cleared? I have been washing her face with warm water using a face cloth to remove the eye gunk and around her nostrils several times a day. I don’t have a bulb syringe to extract the nasal mucus but I don’t think it would work well because the mucus is dry. This is the first time I have encountered this type of illness with a feline and I have had 7 kitties over the years.
Every day, I think will be her last as she sleeps most of the time, but wags her tail at the sound of my voice or touch. She still manages to get up and get to the litter box but tonight she was unable to get inside and emptied her bladder on the mat. My poor sweet girl. I’m worried that this illness has created more internal damage.
Any suggestions for what I can do to clear some of the nasal blockage and get her to eat are greatly appreciated."

With clearing eye gunk in kitties, I have had very good results from colloidal silver. Just rub it in full strength.
There is a great product called Snoot (amazon) that clears nasal passages really well. I have not tried it on cats, but it's not toxic in any way. Squirting in some diluted 3% peroxide could help too (cut it with water, half and half). Good luck with your furry friend!

I also wanted to ask how you know it's a Respiratory Infection? The reason I ask is this: One of my rescue dogs nearly died last year. She had eye gunk and a clogged nose too. In fact, I had to pick that dogs nose so she could breathe easier, for weeks. After noting her losing alot of weight and sleeping 20hrs a day, that she in fact had a parasite. I administered Colloidal Silver 3x a day, as well as 1 Tsp of Diamotaceous Earth at the same time. I'd put them on a spoon together and down the gullet they went. When she no longer had the eye snot, I knew she was clear. She gained the weight back very quickly.
Your fur baby is very sick right now and needs the Colloidal Silver right away! It's good for parasites too. Give your cat 1 or 2 tsps and you should see improvement within a day or two.
Fyi: for that very sick dog, within 1/2 hr of giving her the D.E. & Colloidal Silver combo, she ate!!! 1/2 hr!! Amazing.
Please update us if you can!
