Amani... If we consider the extended time frame for Doxy and multiple courses of other ABX it makes a certain "intuitive" sense that a non bacterial infection is going to require a longer period of time to have whatever non-specific ( read... not related to bacterial infection

It seems probable to me. I went through 4 courses of chemo and none of them worked, in fact last one was killing me. After 1 year without treatment other than vitamins, minerals and prayer, I went into spontaneous remission. The Doxycycline does the same, gives the body time to heal.

Jen If that were my cat, I would consider putting him on a 4 to 6 week course of the Doxycycline. Before my cat, Zander, had his BIG crash when his haematocrit went down to 5, he had a mini crash about 2-3 months before. We were (stupidly) reassured by the fact that he recovered with the use
