My vet recently told me that they (I guess vet association) is reviewing the protocol of dosage of using baytrill (it sounded like there were some side effect issues..) so I am a bit cautious using batyrill anyway..
Also, if the test was ran by antech, I would recommend that you run western blot to see if he is really positive for FIV --- I have 40% false positive when the test was done by antech..and I really don't trust them..

Subject: Re: Head shake symptom - Spencer - 2 different abx at same time
They did run the felv twice, both times of course on ELISA. When I bring him in for another cbc, I'll have them retest using IFA. I'm not sure when I should be thinking of bringing him back in. The vet wants to do another test, but she didn't give me a specific time frame, (she wants to check on his anemia and see if the abx are helping). I think my using the feline interferon is throwing her. I'm hoping that Spence continues to improve and I won't feel the need to monitor his blood work as closely. Hiedeyo had expressed concerns about using two different abx at the same time. Has anyone else ever been advised to do this? I'm trying to remember, but I think this is the first time I've ever had anyone on more than one type at the same time. I think my vet suggested it because she doesn't want to stop the Clav before the course is over. Hmm... I wonder why she isn't having me stop at 7 days instead of going the 14. I guess I'll be calling the vet's office again.

Nina, Patches, who is FeLV+, tested positive for FIV also on the in-house test when last tested. At the shelter, she had tested negative for FIV, I think. Unless you got IFA done, it might not be true.
Poor Spence has the double whammy of felv and fiv.
