Thursday Update:

Well, its been almost 5 days on his antibiotics and he still seems miserable...although the goo coming from his nose is much clearer now. I guess the infection is healing, but he's still battling asthma, allergies and the cold part of this whole thing. Poor baby.

When I got home from work, he kept sneezing. Each time he'd start a fit, he'd reach his paw to me, either to steady himself or just want to hold on. Isn't that pathetic?? I couldn't just let him "deal" with the constant sneezing - we're not talking *sneeze* *sneeze* *sneeze* this poor little guy sneezes AT THE VERY LEAST 20 times each fit. The fits sometimes are less than a minute apart!! I couldn't take it, I felt so bad watching him do that.

Dr. Hanser (his old vet) had prescribed him an anti-histamine about a year ago that you can buy over the counter. I went and bought that, along with a bottle of childrens benadryl. CiCi told me I could give him about 8mg. Yea, ever give a cat ICKY (to them, it smelled yummy cherry to me) syrup? Yea, my little sleek black kitty turned into a gross, drooly rottie!!! (drool=gross, rottie=not gross) Ugh, I forget how dramatic he is.

It lasts for 4 hours, but I can tell, its helping tremendously. (I tortured him with it at 6:00 p.m.) He's only had 1 sneezing fit sinse he stopped his drama drooling. Served mean ole meowmee right, he got that yucky drool EVERYWHERE!! ICK!

So, I think that when CiCi pills him with the Clav, I'll have her add the pills I got him as well. (another antihistamine)

So, I'm hoping these work. Poor Basie. Please keep him in your prayers?
