Apple Cider Vinegar for Upper Respiratory Infection

Posted By Carrie (Orange, California) on 11/30/2010

"Every year my Kittie gets a terrible upper respiratory infection that sometimes leads to bronchitis. The vet is always giving Antibiotics, benadryl, and Steroids. This year my baby did not get better he continued to stay sick, so the vet said keep him on the antibiotics for 21 days. Still sick, sneezing, and now he has developed candida yeast all over his mouth, chin, and lips. Again I took my baby to the vets and he said put Vaseline on it and give him lysine to build his immunity. He now has been sick for 5 solid weeks and has a painful sore on his face.

I found this site tonight and ran out and got the ACV for him. I have great expectations. The ACV should kill this candida on the spot and build his immunity system. He didn't seem to mind when I put it on his sores, in fact, he seemed to be o. K. With it. Then I added it to his paws and on the back of his neck. On the sore area I did not dilute the ACV but I did apply with a cotton pad, it is really infected and needs to be seriously dried out. After a few minutes I applied pure water and soaked a cold compress on the area to help dilute and mellow the area out. On his paws and back of neck I did half/half of Spring Water and ACV and I used a cotton pad to wipe on his fur. My cat is grooming himself and really not caring at all. I also treated my other baby because he is fighting the same sickness but does not have the depressed immunity from the antibiotics. He has Weeping eye, sneezing, and an occasional cough. I am super excited about this working and will absolutely keep you updated on his health. I should see an improvement hopefully within days and will update on this post with his response to ACV. He is a strong beautiful healthy Kittie that gets a horrible sickness every year in October."

"Kittie seems to be a little better today after 13 hours. He only sneezed once, is playing, and candida sore area looks better in some areas. He is eating and seems relieved and is no longer scratching from the pain. Black yeast fungus is almost gone after two wipe downs. He does have raw patch from were he has been scratching but the open sore on his lip is now dry. He woke-up and ate breakfast and seems like he likes the ACV. No runny nose - yah! Will keep you posted. Other Kittie did not sneeze all night."

"I am so happy that your kitty is doing much better. People don't understand how important these kitties are to us and what great lengths we go to to keep them healthy and happy. This stuff saved my cat. He was vomiting and had diarrhea for 6 weeks after I changed his food. I was trying to help him but I didn't do it slow enough, and I think his body just rejected it. So after weeks of racking my brain, getting him to fast, and then giving him baby food and some bowel care for cats from the health food store, I stumbled on this site as well as another one. I swear by this stuff. Just don't give him too much and dilute, dilute, dilute. He likes it now. It's up to us not to overmedicate our animals. All of that stuff has side effects, but this ACV does not. "

"You saved my 🐈 kitten's life. He is three months old. He hadn't eated in five days because of a severe respiratory infection. This was AFTER I spent 300.00 at the vet to treat it in the early stages. I put Apple Cider Vinegar on his back paws and inner ear last night at 6pm. I periodically applied it throughout the night and early morning. Just now at 8:42 am he walked over to his dry food dish and ate quite a bit. Thank you for what you do!!!!"

"I've worked in feline rescue for many many years I'm certified as an animal behaviorist and I'm certified and trained for feline emergency health and wellness I'm not a vet but seeing it all and seeing how it had been treated I myself personally try to go the holistic route first I don't like putting drugs into my body so why would I put them into my pets always try holistic first. Some cases cannot be treated holistic and you need to use medication do not be afraid to ask questions and ask you about to explain things a little bit more if you do not understand you are paying for their service do not be afraid to call and ask questions also FYI when I was doing my schooling we were trained on how to make you spend more money at your vet's office a little FYI into the animal world so please do not be afraid to ask questions"
