i am personally not terribly thrilled with antech, either, as
they keep INSISTING that they have a reliable FIP test, which no one
else accepts....
baytril has definite side effects in young cats--don't have the
technical language at paw, but it basically can stunt their growth.
it's stated clearly in their literature, tho, so hopefully vets are
aware of it....
i know of numerous cases where two antibiotics are used at once;
again, one assumes that the vets know what and why they're doing it
when they do..... it makes sense to complete a course of one that's
already started if the second one is specific for different organisms,
tho, or else you get into the whole problem of helping to create
resistant strains.

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..
