Cat with pseudomona aeruginosa -- any insight?
Hello everyone,
After almost 3 years of searching, finding, and stumbling my cat's chronic coughing has been diagnosed as a pseudomona aeruginosa organism. Gypsy is 10 years old. She's on 3/4 of a 22.7 mg of Orbax and had been since mid-Jan and it's somewhat helping. Her coughing bouts (loose, nonproductive) have decreased, almost a throat clearing, and her x-rays show no deterioration and POSSIBLY some improvement (she won't hold still for the x-ray, I don't know why!). That said, I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with this organism. Gypsy is eating, drinking, and using the litter box fine but as expected her activity has decreased because she's sick and tired of being sick and tired. She has maintained her weight (5lbs 8oz -- she's petite!). She's also taken to hiding under the bed because every time she sees me I'm stuffing a pill down her throat (can't blame her). I've posted to the Yahoo feline asthma group and have gotten some wonderful responses and support but if anyone can give me any insight into this thing, I would appreciate it. I haven't (and won't) give up hope but any and all stories would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your support Paula |
