Zithromax + cortisone (11years old)
I've been a lurker for a while, my persan has been treated with 3 different
antibiotics since last August (Cat has heavy sneezing and coughing for aprox 3 days and is well for about 2 days). All is blood work is great, last Thursday the Vet put him on zithromax for 20 days, and cortisone treament that should last until end of May.. For the last 2 days he has been very grumpy but is appetite is good, and of course the sneezing continues.....am pulling my hair out . I just love my boy but so far I have about $450 invested in him getting well, but today he looks so miserable....anyone have any suggestion..sure would appreciate any help...jo |

If so, I can only offer my personal experience: A while back my male cat Harry got a nasty URI (herpes variety) that caused him to be hospitalized for a week. The vet decided to put him on zithromax, which at the time was more of an experimental thing to give to cats, but had shown good results. A couple of days later his URI started to clear up and he could go home. It still took almost two weeks for him to really recover. Of course, my guy wasn't even eating and couldn't breathe without an oxygen tube. It was nasty. So, if you're asking if the zithromax will work to clear up an infection, I'd say give it another day or two and hopefully you'll see some good results. |
