Re: Unresponsive URI

[wendy]

So the issues with URI started before the Recovery food was started, right?  I 
just wanted to rule out that he might have an allergy that is promoting the 
URI's.  Poor guy.  He sounds like he's really sick.  Have you heard of A/D 
canned food?  It's prescription food, and is high calorie.  GREAT for syringe 
feeding because it's so smooth.  I always mix it with a little water, and down 
it goes.  Keep us posted on how the doxy or b/c combo works for him.  Is he 
staying on the antibiotics long enough each round, do you think?  I just keep 
wondering why it keeps coming back.  It's almost like the URI might be knocked 
out, but something else is causing it (thus the question about the allergy), so 
it keeps coming back, and if that's the case, then we should try to brainstorm 
what is causing the URI.  Does any of that make sense?  lol.

Hi Wendy,
He hasn't always had the Recovery food. He prefers dry food but is not eating.  
His nose was stuck shut and his entire face was encrusted with pus when I 
pulled him from the shelter. He seems to get a bit better but then worse. I've 
been syringing him every few hours for the last two days to get supplements and 
some nutrition into him. I'm so very worried about him. I'll ask the vet in the 
morning about doxycycline or a baytril clavamox combo. I've read about these in 
the archives.
