On gut instinct, assuming it also can't do her any harm, I guess I'd be inclined to go with the dox again, despite what the vet's office says.... Sending out lots of positive vibes, for Grace's renewed perkiness, and for your very understandably stressed-out self, Nina. Maybe Grace is just in a quiet mood? Hope so...take care, Kerry
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nina Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2005 4:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Grace and doxycycline As I told you in my last update on Grace and Jazz (the feline interferon kitties), I had been cutting the dose of Grace's doxycycline down, (I was at a morning dose, every other day). She was doing phenomenally well. When I spoke to my vet's office they told me I might as well stop giving her dox, because at that protocol it wouldn't do her any good. Apparently it's effects are non-existent if it's not maintained in the body, I forget if it's suppose to be every 12 hours or 24. Well, I stopped giving it to her two days ago, and this morning she's not her perky self. Now, I know how hyper-vigilant I can be, and I may be imagining all this, but I swear, if she gets sick again, I'm going to scream, pull my hair out, and just possibly run away from home!
