Re: Amoxicillin vs Cephalexin for URI?

I think my first try would be the amoxicillin. If you are using the stuff you can buy for fish without a script be careful to dose it down, usual dose for cats is 50mg a day of amoxicillin for 5 to 7 days. If there is no improvement in 5 days, it isn't working. Gary - Original Message

Hello List, As you may recall, I posted a few weeks back about my FeLV+ girl, Ember, having lost weight since last January. I'd taken her off of EVO dry due to serious diarrhea. I don't think EVO is a bad food, and she did very well on it for many months before the diarrhea. Unfortunately, when I
