No. For bartonella it's zythromax for 21 days.. Also, if you're dealing with uri that's probably why she's not eating more than the teeth. Keep her well hydrated. Have you tried the baby neosynephrin (I think that's what it is) drops in her nose? Humidifier? She's got to smell the food to eat.

Hi Michelle, You may want to syringe her a bit more, an adult cat needs between 5.5 and 6.0 ounces of food to maintain their body weight, although tiny cats like my Shelbee don't eat anywhere near that much (Shelbee weights about 7 pounds). You may want to stick with the 100ccs of food,
