Keep your cat in a warm but well ventilated room, feed favorite soft foods and keep the cats eyes and nose clean. It may help to use a humidifier. Watch the cat carefully for symptoms of pneumonia. Antiviral medications have not been shown to be helpful, but eye ointment for discharge or pain medication for arthritis may help.

Calicivirus is very easily spread, so it is important to keep up on vaccinations to protect your pet from the latest variant. Keep cat warm, and offer fragrant canned foods to tempt pet to eat. Symptoms are like flu or an upper respiratory infection and are usually mild, but if you cat seems distressed, take it to the vet.
