Re: [Felvtalk] charlie has a uri
hAVE YOU TRIED HOLDING HIM WITH HIS HEAD ON YOUR SHOULDER? DID THAT WITH ONE OF MY BABIES . I DON'T KINOW IF IT WAS KEEPING HER HEAD UP SO THINGS COULD DRAIN OR JUST BEING HELD AND COMFORTED, BUT IT SEEMED TO HELP. OF COURSE YOU WON'T GET MUCH DONE. I SAT UP WITH HER ALL NIGHT FOR 2 OR 3 NIGHTS. YOU WON'T GET MUCH SLEEP, BUT IF IT WORKS, WOULD BE WORTH IT. THERE IS USUALLY A BIT OF DUST UNDER BEDS, THAT COULD CAUSE SNEEZING. I LIKE HE COVENIA TOO,MUCH EASIER ON THEM AND YOU THAN TRYING TO CATCH THEM, HOLD THEM AND GET THE PILL IN THEIR MOUTH AND KEEPING IT THERE. BY THE TIME YOU GET THROUGH, BOTH OF YOU ARE EXHAUSTED. HOPE THIS WORKS AND HE GETS BETTER SO BOTH OF YOU CAN GET SOME REST. michael devitt wrote: > hi margo i gave him convenia it is suppose to last up to 14 days it was > easier than pilling him he seems to be improving out from underneath bed not > gagging sneezing much still not eating sleeping alot he hasnt slept much the > last few days i got my other cats on L-Lysine thanks for responding From: Margo To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 12:28 PM Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] charlie has a uri Hi Mike, > > What antibiotic?

Otherwise you would not post to this group. Please tell us what you gave him so we can help you. One of our cats had a chronic URI for years. We tried everything and the poor cat was losing weight and green snot was always coming from her nose. She too was semi-feral. Finally we found something that worked. Doxycycline compounded into a chicken flavored liquid. She took it readily and was on it for a month. I know this sounds like a long time, but there is very little blood flow to the nasal region and it takes this long to totally destroy the bacteria. Two weeks of several different antibiotics just didn't do it. Lorrie and 30 rescued cats.

Re: [Felvtalk] charlie has a uri
Hi Mike, What antibiotic? How much? What does he weigh? Most URIs are viral, so may not respond to Abx. Is Charlie getting L-Lysine? You could try 500mgs twice a day in food, if you can get him interested. Can you get liquids into him? It will dissolve in water and can be syringed. Try putting him in a small bathroom with a ht shower runnung, sometimes the steam will help clear the enough to get them to eat. Try strong smelling foods, or sardines, tuna, or try meat baby food.
