Caution Cat Owners - Do Not Use Plugin Fragrance Wall Diffusers

CAUTION CAT OWNERS
This was shared on facebook, by someone who doesn;t want to see
anyone else injure their cats or dogs; or other pets...
The horrors we went through for the past 3 weeks

We first noticed drainage coming out of her right nostril.
It was mostly clear in nature and she was sneezing quite a bit.
We took her to our vet and they thought
she had an upper respiratory infection.
We gave her antibiotics and went on our way.

One week later, the drainage had increased
and turned bloody and her appetite was starting to decrease.

We called the vet again and they had us come in
and pickup another antibiotic/immune boost to add to her food.

That Sunday, she stopped eating, stopped drinking,
was isolating herself and I noticed she wasn’t going
to the bathroom as much.

At this point, nothing was helping.

She was dying and we knew it.

All day Friday I cried and kept thinking
about what we had done differently around the house
and that’s when it hit me.

About a month ago Adam found these really good smelling plugin fragrance wall diffusers.

I immediately unplugged them, opened windows
and turned on the fans.

By Friday evening Mit Meow was able to walk to us.
Saturday morning she woke me up at 4:45 am meowing
and hungry.

Her nasal drainage had stopped, she was eating,
her balance was improved and she wanted attention.

After further investigation we learned that several
of these diffusers are toxic to animals
and that they have more severe reactions to cats
because they are at nose level to them.
