I need help with the amount of CS to give to a five pound cat I took in after she came to my door, sick.
I have spend a thousand dollars on vet bills, and she is worse than she was when he began treating her. I am now trying to help her myself. (I named her My Land in Canada because I used the money I had struggled to save for a down payment on retirement land in Cape Breton on her vet bills. I call her Canada.) What is the scope of the action of CS in a cat? Is there a healing crisis? How long can you administer it? How long before improvement is expected. The cat has a chronic upper respiratory infection which is a virus combined with a secondary bacterial infection. She also has a very serious, stinking infection of the mouth and gums. She has lost many teeth. That is an auto immune problem, according to the vet. She was given Cefzil, which had no effect on her. Then the vet put her on Zithromax, which gave her diarrhea and she developed a urinary tract infection. He then added cephalexin for the UTI, along with the Zithromax. At that point, she got diarrhea so severe that she was going everywhere. She could not make it to her litter. She was also losing weight and getting weak. I took her off both antibiotics and returned to the vet. She was limp as a rag and had lost half a pound. He agreed that the Cefzil, Zithromax and cephalexin had not helped her and he wanted to give her a massive shot of penicillin along with cortisone to prevent reaction. I said I would pass on that because I felt we were killing her at great expense to me. I brought her home.
