Nina,
Aztithromycin (zithromax) is VERY similar to
Doxy.
BOTH are anti-bacteriels, habe NO effect on viral
infections, and BOTH can lead to a resistancy after prolonged
use....
We have used both for mainly URI's, but we did learn
from our veterinary opthamologist that zthromax is VERY effective in treating
chronic eye problems....
Perhaps your baby did NOT respond to the zithromax
after the recommended "time" allotted for dosing, and your vet decided to put
her back on the doxy before she built up the resistance to
zithro.
One of the "nicer" things about using zthro is NOT
having to follow each dose w/ H20 & there is less stomach upset w/
zithro....
I wish I could answer the question concerning
the "switch", I just know in the last few years the use of both doxy &
zithro has increased in rearing felines...'
I wish you the "best" of luck with your
baby...
Just sorry I could not answer more
questions. :(
