I would ask about the zythromax. My vet gave it to my cats who had bartonella. They said the bartonella could cause the mouth problems they were having. Also, she put my cat with a urinary infection on it for 14 days as well. It only has to be given once a day. 2 of my cats will take it in a pill with a pill pocket. But she compounded it into a tuna flavored (supposedly, didn't smell like it!) liquid for Popeye because I can't pill him. I just put it on wet food for him.
With my 2 with mouth problems it worked very well (haven't rechecked yet on the urinary). They had very stinky breath and inflamed/infected gums even though they had dentals within the last year. They had a course of 10 days of it. Within about 4 days their breath started to improve. By 10 days their breath had NO odor at all! I was impressed.
Now that they're off of it their breath is back to 'regular' cat breath. If it gets worse I guess we'll try another bout of it.
