    I have sick cat and no vet
    I have sick street cat under 1 year old and no vet in our little town in turkey. He has labored breathing/cool to touch/eye and nose discharge/ lethargic and occasional coughing. I have brought cat into house to keep warm and cleaned dicharges from eyes and nose. Can I give him some of my antiboitics? He did eat this morning.

    Human antibiotics can harm a cat. I once gave my cat a liquid human antibiotic. At the time I couldn't go to a vet. The cat got better. If you have no other choice, do it. The cat may die anyway. When cats get a "cold" they get much sicker than humans.

    Neilreed lucky for you.. In America we can not get that otc. Make sure even if he starts to look better you make him finish it. For the record my vet gives my cat pills and I crush them up in his food.
