Numo Care & Numo Care-C (for cats) are natural organic herbal combinations formulated to help promote normalization of lung and upper respiratory functions in pets.
What is Pneumonia? It is an inflammatory illness of the lungs. Many things can cause this condition such as:
Fluid build up
An infection
Aspiration of liquid into the lungs
An irritation such as smoke
Secondary to another system failure, especially the heart
Infections of the lungs can be caused by bacteria, viruses, parasitical or fungi.
Neuromuscular disorders that cause difficulty swallowing or paralysis of the esophagus can also lead to aspiration pneumonia. This condition is common in cats.
Allergic pneumonia (the result of extreme infiltration of the lung by inflammatory cells in the absence of infection.)

Coughing is a hallmark symptom, though certainly not all coughing pets (or even most coughing animals) have pneumonia. Bacterial pneumonia does not just happen; it is virtually always caused by something else so some kind of diagnostics will likely be needed to determine what led to the bacterial pneumonia if it is not readily apparent.
TREATMENT
If one suspects a lung disorder, a veterinarian should be contacted at once. The pneumonia patient may be in one of three states:
- Stable (in other words, eating well and active despite a nasty cough. These patients can often be treated at home.)
- Unstable (poor appetite, inactive, in need of hospitalization.)
- Critical (unable to get enough oxygen into their systems. These patients require oxygen therapy and possibly 24 hour care).
When the pet is stable then home treatment is available for several weeks. When the pet is eating well, he or she may be discharged from the veterinary hospital with oral antibiotics, a regimen of physical therapy, and a schedule for re-check radiographs (usually weekly). The hospitalized pet will have the following needs:
- Intravenous fluid therapy
- Antibiotic therapy
- Nebulization
- Physical Therapy
- Oxygen Therapy
- HOME CARE
Once the pet has a good appetite, he or she may be discharged for home care. The following tips are recommended as long as the pet is coughing:
- Do not allow prolonged exposure to extreme cold or wet weather. Keep your pet primarily indoors.
- Consider use of a vaporizer for 15-20 minute intervals a couple of times daily. If you do not have a vaporizer, leave the pet in the bathroom with the shower on to create a misty vapor.
- Perform coupage at least 4 times daily and allow light exercise to promote the cough.
- Do not try to suppress the cough with over-the-counter cough suppressants. We want the infected material in the chest to be coughed up.
- Use the antibiotics as directed. Expect several weeks to be required.
Know when you should return for re-check radiographs.
Numo-CARE & Numo-CARE-C are natural products that have been created to help pets fight the battle of pneumonia. Keep in mind the coughing can be difficult to listen to but it is productive. Try not to give any cough suppressant. Veterinarian health care may be necessary if pet continues to worsen.
Numo-CARE & Numo-CARE-C have been known to help treat pet asthma. Be sure to seek immediate veterinarian health care assistance if your pet continues to worsen or cannot breathe.
