I use nebulizers (not vaporizers) with medicine in them..not water...I have heard some people take cats into the bathroom with them when they shower, too.
Here's the nebulizer I made (well, I didn't make the one in the pic, but one very similar). http://catnipkids.homestead.com/nebulizer.html On 5/8/07, Susan Hoffman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I would go with zikthromax. Clavamox and amoxicillin are just not strong enough alone for stubborn problems. And the only time I use a vaporizer is when there is a lot of congestion and the cat is having a lot of problems breathing. Never heard of the vinegar before and it sounds pretty foul to me. (I hate the smell of vinegar.) I have used Vick's for vaporizers but just for a little bit at a time. I have heard it is not good for cats but in an emergency when you want to get nasal passages opened up, I go for it. But if he's eating well, it sounds like he can smell and breath so I think I would just do zithromax in this case.

He is on Clavimox/Amoxicilin I think that is what it is called...it is a liquid...I am also running a vaporizer for him 24 hours around the clock. I did have vinegar in the water but my boyfriend thought that was too much for him so last night I put just plain water. I can't tell if he is sounding any better. He has this awful cough that keeps lingering on. He has only been on medicine since Sat. night. I know some cats it takes longer to break the URI, but should I be worried that this cough is still lingering? He is eating like a piggy and is purring and appears to be acting well. He does not have any discharge anymore, but again, that cough just won't go away...any ideas? Have you ever heard of using vinegar with a vaporizer? Should I put it back in? He is negative so far for FeLV by the way... Thanks, Sheryl --- Susan Hoffman wrote: > Lost to uri? What age, and what symptoms.
