VERY SICK CAT!

Question
I gave my cat and enema with a baby nose un-plugger. The blue nose sucker or what ever. I was wondering if the saline drops from the babies nose  could cause my cat to have tremors and maybe other neurological damage, and a fever. My cat is every sick and they say he may have rabies but he doesn't have the degenertive symptoms, rage, or shiness...

Answer
Mike,

NEVER, attempt things like enemas with products not provided to you by your vet. You also should not attempt enemas or anything similar unless they are specifically prescribed and you are shown by your vet the correct way to administer such treatment. Your cat needs to see a vet immediately. He is severely ill. If rabies is suspected he will be quaranteened for a predetermined time limit as set in your area. Your cat needs immediate medical help to deal with any possible damage that may have been done by using human products on him. I sincerely hope that your kitty doesn't have rabies, but if there is a strong suspiscion on the part of the treating vet they will suggest euthanasia because the only test for rabies that is available currently requires samples of brain tissue. If your cat is current on vaccines you shouldn't have to worry about rabies. I hope that this information is helpful. Please take kitty to the vet as soon as you can get to one as he is in medical crisis. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me again.
