Yes, I think you may be right, for FELV (or FIV) positives, probably putting
them on the antibiotics immediately makes sense... just make sure it's a
very broad spectrum one with few resistant bacteria. Amoxicillin, IMO, is
pointless. But for healthy cats not at risk, I think waiting it out makes

I swear by zithro if they are really sick. Unless it is obvious they are
very sick though (not eating, etc) I would usually start with amoxycillin,
then go to clavamox, then go to zithro as a last resort. I don't have FELV+
cats though, so I don't know what that throws into the mix.

Hi Michelle,

Do you have the 62.5 mg tablets?
Pfizer recommends 6.25 mg per pound

but most vets prescribe within a range.
You can find dosage info on most any med via google. Just type in something
