PENNY WISE IS
POUND FOOLISH WHEN
CARING FOR PETS

I have a kitty that sneezes, coughs, vomits and has one infected eye. The sneezing started when I found him, his coughing had just occurred  yesterday and vomiting followed after his cough this morning. His right eye was infected when I found him, my sister told me to use Terramycin to clear it up. However the ointment made it very cloudy and tears starts to run down to his little nose. Please help, I need to know what I can do for my kitty without the expense of taking him to the vet. If there are any home remedies I can treat him, please do tell me. What do you suggest?
