Ugh, my poor Carl is still sick, after over a month of vet visits and antibiotics.
He started antibiotics over a month ago, and did two sets of treatments on two different meds (Clavamox and Doxycycline). When that seemed to work and the treatments were over, we thought he was better. A week later he was sick again (sneezing, congested, and snotting mucus).
We took him to the vet again and they did x-rays to rule out nuemonia (sp?) and asthma. His x-rays were clean and the vet decided that he had a sinus infection rather than a RI, and put him on heavier duty antibiotics and decongestant drops. He has been on those for 10 days. He was doing great, and then we went out of town for Thanksgiving (only for 2 days) and left him with a cat sitter who is also a vet tech. Bottom line, I trust this woman to give him his meds and she called me everyday with updates and such. She called Saturday to say that he had started sneezing again.
We came home to a congested kitty. He seems to feel great for about 6 hours after we give him his drops, then he gets congested again.
We have an apt with the vet this evening, so please give a little jingle for poor Carl that he finally gets better for good!
