Hello All! My cat Lance is having severe congestion and has fluid in the lungs. My regular vet is on medical leave. The other vet did Xrays and nebulizer treatments yesterday, today and plans to do so tomorrow. She sent Lance home with Cipro tablets and Clindamycin drops. Lance is semi-feral but inside only. He has chronic stomatitis so pilling him would be excruciating; I asked the vet to administer antibiotics via injection but she said she considered that but the one that is injected isnt good enough for this case. I tried a dissolved half tab with tuna juice but it made Lance scream & cry to have it syringed. Also, Lance takes the Clindamycin drops in his food at 1 ml every few months; this vet wants me to give him 2.5 ml twice a day.
Any suggestions? I have 12 hours before he goes back to the vet for another day of 3 sessions of nebulizer. Lance also seems dehydrated but that was not treated.
Do you know of any decongestants for cats? Lance's nasal discharge is clear but that could be a benefit from the nebulizer.
