Avatar n tn then the PCR test was done and results were positive for mycoplasma, so we did 3 weeks on doxycycline (cycle ended yesterday). some improvement, but now more sneezing and still some clear eye discharge. yesterday, our vet recommended 2-3 additional weeks on doxy, told me it could be allergies or just a stubborn mycoplasma infection. if 2-3 more weeks don't stop the symptoms, we could see an internist for a CAT scan and another test to look up the cat's nasal passages. any thoughts?
Avatar m tn m a little red faced here....you are so right ali, I read URI and my brain was on UTI....duh...thx for bringing that to MY attention.. well sure don't need an urinalysis now.....man I feel dumb. however URI's are only sensitive to some antib's so again you will need a Vet to prescribe the right one. Cats with a healthy immune system can overcome this in a few days/weeks but cats with a weak immune system it can become fatal...and the cats should all be isolated or it will spread..
Avatar f tn s heart and no fluid in the lungs why did your present vet put your cat on a Furosemide (which is a diuretic for heart disease, hypertension, and pleural effusion)? I think it is time your cat had an echocardiogram by a veterinary radiologist or cardilogist. I would have blood pressures performed on your cat, and I would also request an appetite stimulant from your vet such as cyproheptidine or mirtazapine. Your cat must eat or he will develop fatty liver disease.
Avatar m tn When my friend adopted her cat from a shelter she was told that this cat had been treated for URI and was no longer contagious even though she continued to have trouble breathing (making noises). Then my friend adopted another cat and this second cat did not get sick although there was a time when he would not eat for a few days. Then my friend and her cats moved in with me about 2 years ago and 6 of my 7 cats got sick with URI.
Avatar n tn Alcohol and the Effectiveness of Antibiotics Alcohol does not effect the effectiveness of the majority of antibiotics. However, antibiotics within the tetracycline group, including doxycycline, are hindered by alcohol. If alcohol is consumed while taking a tetraycycline antibiotic, the antibiotic may prove to be less effective at treating the bacteria or virus. A longer course of the antibiotic would thus be required.

Avatar f tn In October my 5 year old female cat received a shot of ampicillin and clavmox for URI. Although her sneezing with discharge has decreased somewhat, it still continues. We have 2 other cats who all share food/water bowls. One has mid-stage kidney disease so his immune system is compromised. Neither of the cats (nor any of the humans) she lives with show signs of URI. And believe me she's sneezed on everything and everybody!
Avatar f tn When I was told I was negative I stopped medications because now my doc says I need to be off them for accurate results. Partner calls and is positive for chlamydia and negative for everything else (blood work not in yet). Shows me his paperwork I take pics to show my doc. Go to doc and get the treatment for chlamydia (single dose of azithromycin) take as prescribed. No sex. Still slight discomfort. No discharge no itch or odor. No discomfort when urination.
Avatar n tn This is typical of URI. I have seen so many URI's it ain't even funny!! This just sounds like your cat's got a severe case of it. Your kitty is in the best place right now, where she's getting monitored and getting IV fluids and antibiotic. You sound like a great mom, and you're doing everything possible for your cat. I wouldn't stress too much. Give it a few days for the antibiotics to kick in and for her to get rehydrated.
Avatar f tn I've exhausted almost all resources so I'm going to try on here. Since the beginning of December 2017 I've had difficulty breathing. It was sudden onset. I was sitting at the dinner table eating and all of a sudden couldn't breathe. Seemed like I was breathing through a straw and a weight on my chest. This was my only symptom at the time. Two weeks went by and I started to get a productive cough with clear and sticky mucus. It started off less frequent but more severe.

1232362 tn?1333135406 with URI cats its VERY important as Jade said to continue with the Lysine, they will need to be on it probably for life to keep their immune systems strong or this will keep happening.as with any supplement its in kitties best interest to buy the ones with the least amount of fillers or additives. I will give you a list of the best brand names for cats, its avail at any health food store where good vitamin/supplements are found.
Avatar f tn Ive been on doxycycline for 3 1/2 days, and the discharge has not gone away at all.. may have even worsened. My vagina hurts excruciatingly every time I pee. How long till the pain and discharge goes away?
Avatar f tn He prescribed keflex 500mg TID for 2 weeks. I also had a URI. This is my 5th day on the antibiotics . I ahve NEVER had anything like this before. Since an ulcer has formed should I go back to my doctor, Or wait and see as he originally suggested by my gp? Trauma? Chancroid? Please advise.
Avatar n tn The vet prescribed doxycycline 100 mg twice a day for 3 weeks. My dog seems fine without any obvious symptoms. Can we just give him the doxycycline 100mg once a day instead because the medication may cause nausea/vomiting. Also after 3 weeks medication, how do you he is treated ? Any advice !
Avatar f tn Just wondering if doxycycline worked for you. I am on doxy 100mg twice a day for 14 days. Still haven’t seen and marked improvement in my rash.

11389935 tn?1417796609 Your cat probably has allergies or an Upper Respiratory Infection (cat cold). Now if you cat has the herpes virus and this URI is one of the symptoms, your older cat can catch it from her. Although if they have been together for sometime they are both immune or both infected already. Theses URI will happen several times a year. Nothing to worry about just whach that the mucus from their nose is not Yellow--then there is an infection and antibiotics will be needed. Keep us posted, K?
72351 tn?1281992542 When antibiotics are prescribed for URI, it is not to cure or prevent URI but to reduce the risk of the sick cat getting a secondary bacterial infection while their immune systems are being taxed fighting off the viral infection., URI is highly infectious and is both air and contact borne. if you are not able to keep the cats vaccinated and completely separate, it will continue to recycle from cat to cat.
