my kittys sick

[iwantFUEGO]

ok so it seems like the infection has toned down a bit.... he is still stuffy tho...

hes still eating and using the litter box normally... actually i had to wake up with him at 4am last night so i could watch him play and make sure he doesnt have another sneeze attack....lol.

now hes just laying next to me prolly wondering wth i'm doing with this silvery box with all these buttons...

my g/f works at an animal conservatory and her boss gave her a shot of penicillin that shes gonna give him in about an hour...

Thankyou everyone for your help and conern.

Fuego, didn't you say you'd already been giving him antibiotics? If he's on one type of antibiotics, he probably doesn't need any penicillin, which is another antibiotic. Also, animals can be allergic to penicillin just like people are, so be very careful with that one especially.

I would not change the program,,,don't give it the penicillin... just run the antibiotics out that you are already giving... some antibiotics may have an adverse effect and you already know the cat is good with the ones he is taking and they seem to be working...

[Skink]

Ha Same advise BG,,,you must be smart like me......

[birdgirl73]

Yeah, we think alike. To some, that's probably very scary news!

no i was going to give him some penicillin by injection but i just cant do it so its sitting in my fridge...

the antibiotics i was feeding him orally (clavamox) is just amoxicillin trihydrate and three days later...hes not getting any better...

so ive just been opening some human amox capsules and just feeding it with some milk or mixing it into some tuna water...

hes really healthy...running around and playing all the time... he just needs to kick this respiratory infection cuz these meds have got him sleeping all day and night...

[iwantFUEGO]

oh yeah... and ive been trying to steam up my bathroom but it just doesnt get that steamy and its not really doing anything, even after 10-15 min in there...

[go toke up]

if u kick him in the balls it will clear up its sinuses. jp what if u gave it a small amount of robotussin? thats a crazy idea but hey, who knows?

[Skink]

don't over do it,,,relax... I didn't saty to give it a sauna,,,LOLz... just keep the humidity level up... IDK where you live but,,,if you got heat on that dries the air in the home... Just keep some water simmering in an open pot to raise the humidity level in the house... Fluids are good,,,is it drinking??? you might in this case give it something it will like,,,Soup,Milk,,,fluids do a few things like it will piss toxins and break up junk...
