I'd also like to put in a plug for Zithromax and Convenia. Zithromax - I buy it dry, divide it into 3rds, and mix a 3rd at a time. Sometimes 1 day 1 dose will do the trick, especially for kittens. We've also had miraculous results with Convenia too, but you get the vet to give an injection

If no nebulizer you cam do a humidifier or sit kitty in a carrier/ bathroom with hot steamy shower. Not as good as a nebulizer but it's been suggested to me before. Scent from my wireless handheld litterbox =^..^= On Dec 6, 2010, at 5:37 PM, Melinda Kerr wrote: As I wrote in my previous pos

He was given a shot last week, unfortunately I don't know what.  He was given some powder to add to his food yesterday, but he isn't eating too much. I'm actually thinking it is a viral infection.  Having a bit of trouble asking the vet about that one!  His english isn't the best. I plan to ch
