I've been syringing her for a week.  She was on clindamycin and I switched her, with the dental vet's approval, to doxicycline for the URI, which is what I have found to work best. It's trye that dox can also cause nausea.  I am not sure what to do. If her URI clears up I will switch her back to the clindamycin.   The pain meds were something called Metacam, a liquid that they only get once every 48 hours. I decided not to give it to her today (she got it Wed am so this would be next dose) because of her URI, and because she did not really seem to be in a lot of pain right after the surgery-- was jumping better, playing, etc.  The dental vet agreed that I should not give it to her with her URI.  So she is not on any pain meds now.   The woman who runs the shelter where she came from is coming over later to give her an IV injection of Immuno-regulin to see if that helps.  I gave her the feline interferon last Friday-Tuesday and it did not seem to do anything.  I am hoping the Immuno-regulin will work.  I am starting to lose hope.   Michelle   In a message dated 5/13/05 10:31:14 AM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:     I guess just try to be as gentle as possible and try syringing some food into her.  Is she on antibiotics for the URI because many antibiotics will also make them loss their appetite?  Bailey on on antibiotics for about a week I think to make sure he didn't get any kind of infection.  Hopefully in a day or two her mouth will feel better and her URI will start clearing up and she will get her appetite back.  What kind of pain meds do you have.   I believe Bailey had the fenytol (sp?) patch.
