Well, here's the update. On day 5 of taking Clavamox, Jean-Luc vomitted three
times, twice within a couple hours of eating and taking his pill. At this
point I decided that I wasn't going to put him through that anymore, so I
stopped giving him his meds. He hasn't vomitted since. I also noticed that
he's having bowel movements, so that's good. The day after stopping his pills
I took his temperature and he was at 40.4, exactly the same as when we
visited the vet a few days earlier. I felt really sad about this, mainly
because the vet was pretty pessimistic about Jean-Luc's chances if this were
the case.

The funny thing is, while he was getting his meds Jean-Luc did seem a little
bit better, at least a little more alert, and less lethargic. And since I
took him off the anitbiotics he's doing MUCH better. I mean, he's not a hyper
little guy like he used to be, but he's definitely interested in what's going
on around him, purrs on occasion, doesn't sleep all day, and has even played
(albeit very briefly). He's also more interested in his food.

Right now his symptoms like loss of appettite and lethargy are noticeably
improved. The only thing that has remained the same or worsened are his eyes.
They are always runny, and his third eyelids can sometimes be very apparent.
Also, he has developed a little line under each eye, like his eyes are
sinking into his head. He looks old.

I don't get it. So I think I'm just going to take his temperature again in
the next couple of days, and see if his fever has gone down.
