just wanted to say also, maybe you could call the front desk at your
vet, and find out EXACTLY what meds were giving to your kitty... it's
good to know that.

I'd also like to put in a plug for Zithromax and Convenia.
Zithromax - I buy it dry, divide it into 3rds, and mix a 3rd at a
time. Sometimes 1 day 1 dose will do the trick, especially for
kittens.
We've also had miraculous results with Convenia too, but you get the
vet to give an injection of that. Some vets aren't into these
antibiotics - they just use the same old stuff - Amoxi, Clavamox,
Clindamycin, which are good - but the newer ones can be extremely
helpful.
You can also use Little Noses 4 hour drops (the nose drops, not the
saline) - I'm trying to remember the name of the other drops I've
used, can't recall it. But only the 4 hour ones. I've put on a q-
tip and squished against the nose, and can be helpful. Anybody else
know about nose drops? Maybe some of the messages I haven't read yet.
If the cause of the congestion is related to Herpes, of course,
you'd want to use Lysine orally, which is otc.
Not sure what the homeopathic remedy would be...hmmm.
I've been using a humidifier in my house on cold nights, because of
the dryness to noses.
Best of luck,
Gloria

Little Noses brand saline....But it sounds like you may need a
heavier duty antibiotic. What antibiotic was already given? I
swear by zithromax but have also seen good results from the
Convenia antibiotic injection.

As I wrote in my previous post on
mixing, my little kitty is extremely congested. The
vet has given him antibiotics and anti-inflammatory
medicine, but since he isn't too interested in eating, I am
having trouble getting them into him. I have very
limited access to medications or natural remedies unless
they are homemade using easily accessible ingredients.
I read something about saline drops or using children's
Afrin. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you,
Melinda and VooDoo
