Lucy and Patches both have URI's. I am giving them both Lysine, I-R shots sub-q (which does not seem to be as effective as IV but I have not wanted to take them to the vet, and Patches passed out last time someone tried to do something IV to her), and have Lucy on amoxicillin (only abx she can take without irritating her IBD) and Patches on clavamox. So far they have had the URI's for about 4 days, and have been on abx for 3 days (Lucy) and 2 days (Patches). I am used to URI's clearing up faster than this. I used to use dox for URI's, but what I have is expired, my vet is out of town, doubt the other guy would give it to me, and am afraid to give it to Lucy at this point due to IBD. But with dox their symptoms used to clear up within a day or so. The only time i have seen a URI go on this long was with Ginger, who got a bad one after dental surgery and was sick for about 3 weeks despite doing a few abx, but once she got I-R (IV) twice it cleared up.

My question is this: when your positive cats get URI's, is it typical that the URI's would last this long (4 days) without getting a lot better? They both have stuffy noses and Patches has runny eyes. The discharge is all clear, though Patches seemed to have a tiny bit of yellow from one eye earlier today. They are both eating (Lucy wasn't for a day or so before I-R and abx), grooming, etc. Patches is also playing. But they can't seem to kick the URI. I have a vicks vaporizer running too, and have used nose drops every other day. They are functioning, and not very sick (knock on wood) but it worries me that they are not getting better. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Michelle
