My approx 9 mo old female kitten has been off & on Clavamox since October because of temperature spikes temps over 106. The longest time she has been well is 27 days & that was after Clavamox *and* Doxycycline (after Clavamox *only* it was generally 8 days until last Clavamox *only* series - then she relapsed after 4).
Indoor cat. Has been tested for FLV etc twice - all negative & she's had 4 blood tests (always w/in normal but "better" each time). Also fancy-schmancy urine test ("normal"). She *is* gaining weight tho she's only 6 lb (her brother is twice her size & weight).
When on antibiotics, she's lively and eats. Vets -who are also very concerned- keep prescribing Clavamox which I think no longer works on its own (as above). ANY opinions about DOXYCYCLINE, BAYTRIL or CLINDAMYCIN?
I am completely frustrated and running out of money. Vets now saying that spaying will either cure (hormones) or allow them to look at her innards.
Eating was an issue when her health first went to heck but I've figured out how to get her to eat: *heated* Gerber2 turkey or ham baby food, EVO Chicken & Turkey dry food, California Natural Chicken & Rice dry food, Friskies wet and people food (all of our cats have developed an obsession for Von's Black Forest ham & Costco cooked chickens. They also like steak.).
