Long term antibiotics. My own cat had this problem when I adopted him. I kept him on (clindamycin) for 6 weeks. Here is more about this antibiotic: http://www.petplace.com/drug-library/clindamycin-antirobe/page1.aspx I am not suggesting that the antibiotics your vet has chosen are not appropriate… the truth is that unless we do a culture (take a sample of the nasal discharge from the back of the throat and send it to a lab for analysis) we are just guessing what might be growing in there and what antibiotic might kill it. A culture and sensitivity test gives us answers! More about this test here: http://www.petplace.com/cats/culture-and-sensitivity-in-cats/page1.aspx 3. Antibiotic nasal drops are quite effective. I use gentocin ophthalmic instilled intranasally like a nasal spray twice daily. 4. If you want to try something without going back to your vet, go to the pharmacy and ask for ophthalmic saline, or have a look in the contact lens section. What you want it just sterile saline drops to relieve dry eyes - NO medication in it. The pharmacist should be able to point it out to you. Put one drop in each nostril twice daily. The idea is that you are helping to moisten the area so your cat can sneeze out any congestion in there. Continue for a week. 5. You can also try steaming him in the bathroom 2 or 3 times a day. Basically, you take him in, close the door and turn on a hot shower. The steam will also help to loosen any congestion in his nasal sinuses so he can sneeze it out. 6. Consider buying a humidifier. This works the same way as the steaming in the bathroom.. 7. He may need 2 antibiotics given at the same time for a longer period of time. I like zithromax and baytril together. 8. He may have a resistant infection of Pseudomonas in there. This means it is resistant to most antibiotics. If other antibiotics haven't worked, ask your vet about carbenicillin as it is a drug that seems to work well in some of these cases. Here is more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbenicillin 9. Another medication to consider is Famciclovir. It is expensive! It is an anti-viral medication. Here is more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famciclovir 10. Herpes virus may be part of the problem. So, it may be useful to put your cat on Lysine capsules. Herpes viruses need an amino acid called arginine to replicate and survive. If you give lysine, it substitutes in for arginine but does NOT allow the virus to replicate! Thus, it can stop the virus and really help the cat's immune system to win. You can pick up Lysine at most health food stores. I usually suggest that cats be given 250mg twice daily for 3 weeks. The capsules with powder in them are easiest to give, as you can simply open it, and mix the powder in with some canned food. You can read more about it here: http://www.thensome.com/herpes.htm I hope this info. has been helpful to you and Tweezer.

(At first we didn't know where it was coming from, we were just seeing tiny blood droplets on the floor.) Last night we saw what was happening. He sounds a little stuffy, but he has sounded that way since we got him. My problem is that my usual vet who is good with my positive kittys is on vacation until the 24th of November. I personally consider the associates in his practice to be less then adequate for a positive kittys specail problems. I am trying to decide if I should wait for my usual vet (Possibly start Tweezer on some Doxycycline in the mean time), take them to one of the other vets in the practice and hope that this problem is something they can handle, or maybe take him to an internist I have been to before with one of my other cats. I guess it all depends on why this is happening to him. Has anyone ever had a cat sneeze blood droplets? ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Sidney, How is General?
He's eating but now he seems to be throwing up what he eats. he has no fever and he acts normal. Has been fever free and acting normal for the last couple of days. The not eating and the fever was just one day. But I gave him Meow mix wet the last few days and he threw it up twice. I just gave him Evo, after the Meow Mix came up this morning. If this doesn't work I have the chicken and turkey baby food to try. ** One site keeps you connected to all your email: AOL Mail, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail. Try it now.

Re: [Felvtalk] Sidney, How is General?
Thanks for this update. I do know that Meow Mix DRY is not advised because of all the dyes in it. What makes it look pretty is toxic for our kitties. The dyes can cause urinary tract problems and more. I used to feed it years ago and my vet ordered me to find something else! I have no experience with MM canned. The veterinary teaching hospital vets told me to feed canned Fancy Feast or Friskies to cats who don't want to eat. FF works at my house. Does he vomit shortly after eating? If so, he could be gobbling his food or he could be allergic to the food. After they vomit, good to wait several hours before trying to feed again and then feed only small amounts every 1/2 hour or so. If he is gobbling his food, I give small amount first and then rest of it after that stays down for 15 minutes. Vomiting is a serious sign so please keep an eye and make sure he is having stools...if not, he could be blocked and needs to see a vet asap. I would not let a cat go more than a day with vomiting without seeing a vet...there are meds to stop the involuntary vomit response. Good luck and please keep us posted.
