Aw, poor thing. When she is sniffling I cringed, I know what it's like feeling stuffed up. And seeing her enjoying the treatment reminded me of the relief I feel when I hold my face over a steaming pot of water with a towel over my head.
Yeah
This is the same principle as the hot water, but those mucus breaking medications can be life savers (I got asthma, I know)
My mum used to sit me in the bathroom with a book and turn the shower on scalding hot.
for me, i use altoid mints when my nose is stuffed, it works great
@@doyoueverfeellikeaplasticb2703 me to
Thank you so much for making this video! As a licensed vet nurse, these videos are very helpful to my clients!
Thanks for all that you do! I'm glad that the videos are helpful for your clients!
I have to do a nebulizer too! It was so cool to know that Svetlana and I are in the same boat!
@My Name yes @Kitten Lady……I‘m also from Germany and heard people at my local shelter talking about you………I was so surprised…………you have such an impact on the cat world 👍🤩………thank you so much for all you do - also for all other animals 🥰❤️
She funny cat and cute LOL
Is it safe to nebulize a cat three times a day
I had to do this for a cat I rescued that the worst herpes I have ever seen a cat have. There were times when I would have to syringe feed her because she had so much mucous that she couldn't smell and wouldn't eat for days. She was older when I found her and I was able to have her for 2 years before cancer took her.She was a lot of work but I miss her.
I didn't know cats could even get herpes. Poor thing. Well, she's pain free now. Sorry for your loss
@Sonia zzstu ReganRoy same!
@@mysticdiamond8944 I’m pretty sure most do ( it’s a respiratory problem for cats instead of what humans get ) but some cats get flare ups aka they have bad symptoms
It was debate on other videos and people are misinformed or have misconception of '' herpes '' for cats. People should be aware bof coryza because it serious, can be contagious to other animals and deadly within a week or two if not treated. Herpesvirus
Feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) accounts for 40% of coryza cases. It is the causative agent of potentially severe infectious feline viral rhinotracheitis. In fact, its tropism for the upper respiratory tract (ocular and nasal conjunctiva, oropharynx, trachea), the bronchi, bronchioles and neurons makes it a potentially dangerous virus, since it can cause encephalitis and pneumonia.
Like many herpesviruses, it can remain in a latent state in neuronal ganglia, especially the trigeminal ganglion, in which case it is undetectable. All it takes to reactivate it is a drop in immunity, corticosteroid administration, stress or another disease, leading to infection and viral shedding. It is highly contagious and is transmitted through close direct contact, for example between a mother and her kitten.
If someone told me kitten lady was a registered kitten nurse I'd believe them
Same. Aw that would be a nice job
RN(K) XD
Would that not be a veterinarian nurse or something similar?
I wish my vet would have recommended something like this for my cat when she had a bad respiratory infection. I would bring her into my bathroom when showering which helped.
I did the shower thing too and it became a bonding thing so my cat would come running whenever I went in the bathroom, even if I was just peeing.
Yes! My vet recommended the shower thing when my cat Taques was a kitten, and now... six years later... He always comes to the bathroom with us whenever we shower.
It actually does very similar things to the straight saline nebulizer. It’s a good substitute in a pinch.
@@personneici2595 funnily enough, my cats even loved being nearby when I was in our hot tub growing up. We had a wine barrel spa, with about a 1” rim. Our cat, Fudge, would walk around that rim to get to folks on the other side for pets.
My cat loves being in the bathroom with me while showering. I think the warmth and the steam calms her down or something, lol.
aww that poor girl. My cat has to be stuffed into a cat carrier covered in a towel with the nebulizer humming away. cute little baby cat you got there
Why does your cat need this? I’m wondering if it’s what my girl needs.
@@bippy201 it all depends on the cat and what could be the issue. Personally I'd talk to a vet about it. Ot can be a number of reasons why you would need to do this. Could be anything from slight allergies to asthma to something else. I'd talk to a vet first though
Same! I have a feisty 1 year old cat that will not just sit in a box with a blanket on it haha. I have to fully zip her up in her cat carrier. I had to cut a small hole in the mesh part to put the mouth piece inside. Even then, she thrashes around like a feral cat. I feel so badly but she won't sit still outside a carrier for the 15 minute treatment. Cat carrier is a great idea for people with feisty cats!
I gave a nebulizer treatment to my rat when I had them. She had pneumonia twice and the treatment saved her life
hello, fellow rat owner here! my rats are constantly getting upper respiratory infections... so i’m curious, did you use medication prescribed by a vet plus saline or just the saline solution?
@@funkyshook would like to know the answer to this!
@@funkyshook
I have owned and medicated rats for years.
My go to nebulizing cocktail is 0.5 mg albuterol, 0.5 gentamicin, and 5.0 saline.
They will also need a round of oral antibiotics and I have found doxycycline and Baytril (enrofloxacin) or doxy and azithromycin (a z pack) if no improvement within 5 days to save many babies. Even one’s that doesn’t seem like they are going to make it. Consistency is key.
After all that being said I have worked very closely with my trusted exotic vet for years to get these meds/ and dosages.
Rats are the best ❤️❤️
Kitten: *snores*
My heart: *bursts*
Poor snarfly baby. Hannah will have you fixed up in no time.
Awwwwww so glad she’s getting the love and care she needs. Couldn’t have wound up in better hands.
My cat has feline herpes, and he also has a very poor immune system so he sneezes ALL THE TIME, and he has been like this since he was a newborn. We have tried dozens of medications (as prescribed by his vet) but I'm definitely going to suggest this to his vet to see if it is a viable option for him!
Have you tried Viralys? My cat with herpes improved with this! It’s a gel and she actually loves to get it
@@mynameisnonofyourconcern8685 I will ask the vet about it! Haven't tried it.
@@mynameisnonofyourconcern8685 I give my kitten viralys. Its L lysine he has calici virus. It helps his condition alot.
@@Jack-B0t yeah it’s an immune system supplement and my cat at least has gotten better. You’ll probably have to do something like what was done in the video too if your cat has bad flare ups but it helped curb my cats infections and her herpes
@@JCamilo1974 that’s cool! I figured that it would help other things than feline herpes since it helps with the immune system. Does your cat like to get it too or is mine weird lol we get the maple flavor gel
Oh my, This made my day. No word of a lie she looks like an exact replica of my current Cat Tiger. Down to the coloration of her right back paw. I never got to see her as a kitten, as I adopted her off the streets. But now I know...Thanks....
That’s cute lol
how sweet is that ! i adopted my cats when they were kittens but both of my dogs were fully grown when i adopted them.. i always wonder what they would have looked/been like a little puppies :)
Now you know what?
You’re a time traveler.
Awwwe, poor baby girl. Hearing her all sniffy like that reminded me of when my kids would get a cold.
Sick Kitten meets Kitten Lady = Luckiest Kitten in the World ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Me: So.. is it like an inhaler?
Hannah: (lightly)sprays kitten's face
Me: oh
Human nebulizers are kinda like inhalers, you can get things like albuterol to put in them and they can get the meds deeper into your lungs! Of course that's only for humans, I wouldn't think you would use human asthma meds for animals, always consult a vet, and for human stuff talk to your doctor!
She’s not actually spraying her; the vapor is floating out naturally. She’s just putting the nebulizer near her nose and mouth for better effectiveness.
@@timberwerewolf I have an asthmatic cat, and you actually do use the same meds as humans! The inhalers are given using a little mask, much like with human infants (look up Aerokat for pics). My old cat takes a daily inhaler and has a rescue inhaler for emergencies, just like humans do.
@@grace7807 This is what I was gonna say! I have an aerokat for my baby. She just has a rescue inhaler right now, and has finally gotten used to me giving it to her! lol. She uses the same exact inhaler I use.
Lol same

Kitten: *t a s t y a i r*
Awwwww she's soo cute she's a calico I love calicos yet sometimes there very moody
Man I wish I could learn and take care of cats, but my house is messy and My parents are allergic
Keep that love and passion going and as soon as you’re in a position to, try it! Continue learning and gathering information and someday it will come to very very good use
Nothing says you can't have a dedicated kitten nursery of your own at some point! Spend the interim time learning and building skills, you never know what's gonna happen in life :)
Hi •ScarlettLight•! When you get older I‘m sure you’ll have many cats and be so happy together! In the meantime, since your parents are allergic, you could ask your local animal shelter if they would teach you all about cats and let you volunteer there… depending on your age and on the size of your town, a veterinary clinic might also let you volunteer and learn! Best of luck in your pursuits - the world’s kitties thank you in advance!!
Thanks for the support everyone! Ya’ll are amazing! 😁
Try a Norwegian Forest cat, i heard they don't give people allergies
Awwww I love her I hope she gets better soon!!
As a good barbarian when I face stuck breezin and/or crusty nose I put few drop of pure glycerin in the nose. For super noisy breezing I first give 1 drop of eye wash to help liquefy. The the drop of glycerin. Hold the head up few seconds and prepare for the sneezy booger storm.
Sometimes the first booger drop down on its own. Usually there is 2-3 big sneeze with matching wetty booger. But the best result are when it turn into a sneeze storm and the half hard boogers get dumped out sometime half stuck in the nose and you have to help wipe them out with TP.
It's absolutely disgusting but the noise/weezing free breathing you get afterward is awesome.
I have more and more the feeling to be stuck with the feline equivalent of a leper colony...

@@G_de_Coligny what can I do to help this 2 feral cats they are like that because it’s so cold even I left the garage open but they don’t want to stay I made them a plastic box with blankets but they run to the rooftop across and the only come when I feed them but they leave only I try to close the garage door to keep them inside and they were crying but they sound they can’t breathe but maybe I can grab one of them sorry can’t taken them to the veterinarian thank you
Poor baby!! My cat had the same issue a while back and I could have used one of these.
Watching a sweet kitten get a nebulizer treatment while i'm doing my own nebulizer treatment😂
i feel you, sweet baby!
Right there with you, Abigail! On a couple of really bad asthma days, our asthmatic kitty and I shared some mist from my nebulizer. Fortunately, for our kitty, her asthma is much milder than mine so she doesn't need an inhaler.
@@abbynormal4740 one question,is the nebulizer supposed to be hot steam or just cold steam?
@@bigfrankentertainment My nebulizers generate a fine mist at room temperature from nebulizer solutions - levalbuterol (a stereo isomer of Albuterol) and Atrovent. I use an adult mask instead of a mouthpiece. 🙂
Update: I also recently got an AeroKat chamber, which is essentially like a spacer used with human inhalers, but with an adapter to fit over a cat's muzzle. It has a "Flow-Vu" vent to help ensure kitty is adequately taking in an appropriate number of breaths of meditation from the chamber. The AeroKat is easier and quicker to set up and use than a nebulizer, but it's a good idea to gradually accustom your cat to it before using it.
I love Svetlana! Her markings on her body are almost exactly the same as my Pipsi! Even the orange band on her back leg! I hope she feels better soon! 💖🐈🐾
I have to do a nebulizer 4 times a day! I have a medical condition called cystic fibrosis. In my Neb I do medicine called hypertonic Saline 7% and dornaise. I do hypersal (hypertonic saline) to break up the mucus in my lungs I can relate to her! I wonder if cats can get cf (that’s cystic fibrosis for short)
She looks like a baby version of my 9 month old 💜 I have her now for 3 months 🥰
those squinty eyes and swollen nosey 🥺😭
also, if you dont mind me asking, wear is your hoodie/sweatshirt from?
i don't know why seeing the kitten get blasted by mist makes me laugh
Smart move putting her into the box after she used the nebulizer for a bit so there was a barrier between you and the snot!
As someone with Asthma, I tried a nebulizer treatment for the first time a little while ago and ended up feeling kind of high. I made my dad laugh because I took a deep breath, that ended up feeling way deeper than my normal, and asked him if that is how people with full lung function feel. It was incredible.
Must be nice, my lungs are permanently hecked up so even this treatment doesnt let me take a nice deep breath :)) Im so happy it works for you tho!!
Omg I’m so early, what you do is so amazing you are such an inspiration to me, I just got accepted to foster kittens and I am so excited, and why did I sign up to foster kittens you might ask... because of you and how happy it makes me when you see a kitten you take care of go to it’s forever home 🥺
I had to have many nebulizer treatments as a child. Nice to know they can be used for kitties as well!
Here with my own nebulizer mask on due to chest congestion (not Corvid) empathizing with kitty. I feel you kitty.
Such a throwback to getting my asthma treatments as a kid...
How could you not go "Oooooh, awww bess you, bess you. That was a big sneeze❤" every single time she sneezed?
I feel bad for that poor kitten though it's soo cute!!
Dont worry kitten lady will do everything she can to make her better. ❤️
Yes! Great video! So helpful! I hope stevlana feels better!
First, I love this channel 😊 I foster kittens to with the help of your channel
I love that you strike the balance between 'info for professionals', 'info for public' and 'entertainment fo cat lovers'. I'm never going to nebulise a kitten but I still love watching how it's done! :)
aww this kitten looks a lot like my 6 month old calico🥺🥺
I give my kitty an inhaler almost every other day. She is seen by a vet. We use the kitty spacer.
i actually have a nebulizer- i have really bad asthma, and sometimes when i'm having really bad days use it for albuterol treatment
I used to do that as a kid
Wow I didn’t know they made nebs that small!! I’m Definitely going to go buy one! I have really bad asthma and have always had the giant Loud clunky neb with the Long tube and mask.👍
When you said acetylcysteine I went and checked my medication for Sinus Infection. I am also taking Acetylcysteine orally to get rid of mucus too. Feel better soon Svetlana!
I use a nebulizer for my own asthma, and this kitten's reaction to the mist reminds me of my cat's. I don't use my meds on my cat, but she likes to sniff my mouthpiece and the vial containing my liquid meds all the time! The water must smell nice to them somehow.
Aww, she's cute (the kitten)
Thank you for clarifying that the kitten was in fact cute, because if you didn’t clarify that the kitten was cute, everyone would think you were a simp / having a crush on Hannah.
hannah is cute too dustin!! wdym !!
This was very informative! Almost all of your videos give me so much information! I hope to foster when I get older 😊
Buying nebulizer is one of the best investment to my cats ☺ ofcourse I can nebulizing my cat in vet clinic, but it's much more easier to just do it at home! And more cheap!
I have a nebulizer for my asthma! It’s really big and clunky haha!
Same, I think I need to try that style!
The nine down votes are all the lives of one kitty who just WON'T take their medication!😼
I have COPD and my cat has asthma sometimes we both are taking our nebulizer treatments together.
Thank you for this video! I foster and they always seem to get uris :( i will definitely purchase one of these! I also love the name Svetlana/Sveta, my aunt has the same name. 🐱❤
OMG her little snores, I can't handle how cute she is ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is so helpful, thank you!
Also Svetlana is adorable 💜
This video is such great timing. My asthmatic cat also just finished a run of antibiotics for a URI but has a slight lingering sneeze. I might give a nebulizer a go to see if it helps her.
Lol, I never thought I’d have something in common with a small sneezy kitten (I have CF and asthma and have a nebulizer system for my medications 😊)
my cat sneeze sneeze*
Poor snuffly baby! As someone with allergies, I feel you baby cat.
How much of that bottle did you use in 96 hours?
She is so adorable!!! Thank you for everything you do!💜💜
Kitten Lady- yes!!!❤️
Love how she put her paw over it. Hope she gets better soon.
That is so weird, I had pneumonia when I was a pretty small child (like, 16 years ago at this point) and I can still _smell_ that nebulizer solution. It's wild how smells attach to our memories...
I’ve got quite severe asthma and can confirm that nebuliser treatment is awesome, as is acetylcysteine. I bet Svetlana feels a LOT better after her treatment. It feels like the breath of life when you’re having a hard time breathing.
I don't know how kitten sneezes can be both adorable and terrifying at the same time??
You can tell she knows it's helping her 💗
hahaha for someone who has bad asthma, this is a blast from the past 😂😂😂
Awww she so cute I hope she will get better and continue to ❤️
Poor little sweetheart! I have a nebulizer! It works when nothing else will. She’ll feel better soon. Sending virtual hugs and kisses!!
i use this thing ,'cause astma
Question: Your kitten with her mucus problems has mucus coming out of her eyes. Does wiping that mucus help? Or should I ask, do you wipe the mucus? Or is it something you shouldn't really mess with?
I can NOT get over her face!! She is too cute 😩 hope she’s feeling better soon!
I have a buster ICU cage for my cats. I bought it primarily for my cat that had severe heart disease in case we were in an emergency situation where he needed oxygen. Sadly, we lost him in November of 2020. :(
It can also be used for nebulizing treatments as well. It's pricey at about $300 for the medium sized ICU cage, but if you're caring for cats of any age that have any kind of chronic issues, it's a righteous investment.
Pls answer.... When I grow up I'm gonna be a kitten lady, so I hav these questions and suggestions that u should consider answering...... Thank u
*Questions*
1. if the kitten is not getting enough food when weaning, should you suppliment them with normal kitten formula or slurry?
2. Can I do all the categories of fostering?(mom and baby, neonatal, and weaning age). If yes? Will I get the stuff for all the categories from the animal shelter?
3. Can a kitten's mature eye colour be blue?
4. Should you dispose the toothbrush after each litter?
5. Should u dispose the sponges after each bath?
6. what are some advanced techniques that we should consider Learning for fostering?
7. Are the feeding bottles reusable after each litter or are you supposed to trash them after each litter
8. As you know I'm still in school, so I learnt how to distill water. So for the humidifier in the incubator, can I use what I learnt?
9. What is kitten season?
*Suggestions*
1: pls make a video for trimming kitten's claws safely
2: I loved ur webinars, you should consider more like that..... They are very helpful.
3. How about eyeball watch 2021?😋
Thank you for saving these kittens.....
Beautiful calico! She looks a lot like my girl Lilo💕
This is the earliest I've ever been
Question - can this help an asthmatic/nasally challenged older cat? I have a 10 year old who kicked nasal lymphoma's BUTT. He has pretty severe breathing issues in the winter months, however. I will ask my vet about this for sure!
So for 3 times a day super cute Svetlana becomes an 80s pop video supawstar 😻♥️🥰. Fantastic video Hannah thank you
My 9-year-old cat has had URIs practically since I adopted her almost 2 years ago. Pills and liquid medications are somewhat effective for a while but the congestion always returns. I tried humidifier but she doesn't like it. I wonder if nebulizer will help her.
what about adult cats? my cat sneezes constantly. he doesnt have an upper respiratory infection. he did when he was a wee kitten, 7 1/2 years ago.
I NEED SONE ADVICE PLEASE
For our holiday home in France in the house next door no one lives there and all the village feral cats go there so every summer when we go there’s always at least one litter of kittens in the garden but normally there around 5 week-8weeks so they hiss and run from us and when we are there we do contribute and feed them but what do you suggest we do because we did calll a reduce but they were full and she basically told us that if we did catch them because we only go for 2 weeks they would just be put to sleep and I don’t want that to happen. Any advice ?
That is one of the saddest, most "Help me" thumbnails I've ever seen....you are a cruel mistress to tug at my heart strings like that Kitten Lady....
I LOVE YOUR VIDEO'S ABOUT KITTENS YOU MAKE THE BEST VIDS! IM A CAT LOVER I CRY WHEN MY CAT IS NOT HERE HE'S MISSING. NICE MEETING YOU KITTEN LADY!😸😸😸😸❤🐈🐱🐱🐱🐈
I grew up with asthma and had to use a nebulizer every time I had a cold because I would get abnormally congested. Idk man but this kitten getting nebulizer treatment makes me emotional
Hotbox your kittens for their health
Is the P.O. Box address on your website updated since you moved ❤️ I would like to send you something 😊
I have a year and a half old cat who has been diagnosed with upper respiratory disease and/or rhinitis. He’s been checked for polyps in his airways and has none. He goes on/off antibiotics and low dose of steroids when he gets worse with sneezing and mucous buildup... which is every few months it seems. I steam him in the shower when he gets bad too. But I wonder if something like this might help him during sick times, I’m surprised my vets haven’t recommended it before.
kitten: *sneezes*
kitten lady: NEBULISER HOTBOX TIME!
Where did you find that nebulizer? I have COPD and would love something less bulky them the box one.
I love kittens i have a kiten of my own😻
I have had this problem before and I would have a cup of tea and put the kittens face over the steam coming from the cup. I didn’t drink it cause they usually started to sneeze but it did the trick. That machine is must safer then boiled water!
As someone who was born with asthma I can just taste the mist from the nebulizer as soon as I see it ^^; even though nowadays I mostly use inhalers unless I'm sick that experience is still ingrained in me
I don't know anything about the first thing you put in the saline ? Saline for head colds that humans use????
Get well soon little one🤗😊 Those tiny toe beans....too cute!
Never used a nebulizer on kittens! Such a smart way to give them medication for upper respiratory infection 😍
A stray kitten had pneumonia 3 years ago. We saved a kitten life because you mentioned about nebulizer in one of your vid. She's a very healthy cat now. Thank you so much Hannah!
Poor thing. I always hated having to use my nebulizer as a kid. Even watching this back makes my nose feel funny, hopefully she gets better soon and doesn't have to deal with that anymore.
I love the orange spot on her forehead. 💕
On a Spoonful of Ragdolls, Audrey, as a cat, got to use full nose and mouth mask but held away so the sides were open. The vet recommended it. After her first treatment, she sneezed about 6 times and felt better. Her cold was gone in a couple of days.
Wow! That's the ideal situation. I had a noisy nebulizer and an adult street cat ... 10 minutes of desperate meows and scratching of the pet carrier ... Fortunately, the second he was out he was all purring and cuddles.
A neighbor of mine lost her wife so she started taking in even more cats than normal, she had one named sneezers and he had cancer in his sinuses. He was so sweet, I would come over to see him and he would wrap around my neck. Sadly that nieghbor has passed but the one right next to her old house also rescues cats and well I do my best to help them.
My two adopted boys were abandoned at my door step at only 4 weeks old, they are 8 months old now and I just love them. The smaller and more shy of the twins is Tsuki and the larger more loving cat is souka (sokka/soka is how it is actually spelled but we miss spell it so others find it easier to pronounce.) We often call them Chunky and tiny. However I have another cat I can't find a home for and 2 that come visit, I'm hoping to go under the nose of my friend and sterilize the two females. The reason is because the family of the females doesn't care about them, they roam around for days at a time and have constant litters of kittens infact one is the mother of my kittens and she left the due to being overwhelmed by the constant births.
My cat is Like the queen of the house
Like she goes on anything high and I think she thinks it’s like her throne 🤔
Such a cutie ! Hows she doing?
