I took Tuffy to the vet today because he started to sneeze up the yellow/green stuff with a little blood also. He has a temp so the vet gave me a prescription for Azithiomycin I think it is spelled for the 6 week treatment again.
She said it is the same stuff as he was on the last time but I think the bottle said zithromax last time. Are these different names for the same stuff?
We really thought we had him all cleaned out of this junk so I don't know why its started up again. The vet said to hit him with the good stuff right away since this is the stuff that worked so well last time. He was doing great since about Christmas time till the sneezing started up the last couple days. So far he has not coughed that I have heard since he finished the zithromax last time. He used to get these bad coughing attacks before the zithromax treatment.
I told the vet about the thing I got out of his right eye and that the watering eye has pretty much stopped now. She checked both eyes real close with one of those magnifying things and said they both look fine to her. I asked about the eye worm deal and she said she has seen it in the past. She told me when she has seen it in other cats the eye does more than just tear up. She was real sure he didn't have eye worms.
When I put him on the scale he took off and had to go and see everyone in the back of the clinic. He hasn't been there in about 2 months so everyone had to hold and pet him. They have a big pail of cat toys on the counter so the vet tech held him up to it and he took one of the toys so she gives it to me and said Tuffy picked it out himself. They have a good sized pet dog in the office and when Tuffy was looking around he wasn't even scared of the dog. He also gained another 1/2 lb from the last time he was weighed, he is up to a full 11 lbs now. The first time he was weighed he was down to 5.4 lbs when he was so sick.
I made a appoitment to get him fixed on the 21st of this month. They have a deal that for every 10lbs of new cat litter I bring in they take 10% off the bill, then the litter they collect goes to shelters in the area. I was worried about him being there all day on his own but after the way he acted today and the way everyone was so happy to see him again I think he will do fine. I hope he isn't the one in a million that has problems with surgery.
