    I'm so glad that he's now home and I too hope it's nothing serious or contagious. Please continue to keep us updated about him. Please get well soon Gable.

    Thank you! I was worried maybe he had something lodged in his nose. He seems to be doing a little better this morning so maybe the shot is taking affect. He's still sneezing, but not as much. I will update when I hear from the vet.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    Awww, poor widdle Gable. I am glad the white coat was able to get a good culture. Poor widdle guy must be miserable. He has been through so much! Hope he is getting better each day, and that he is good about taking his clavomax! Please keep us posted.

    I hope the antibiotics are going to work their wonders on Gable, I hate to think of that handsome chap feeling rotten. Are you able to go home at lunch-time to check on him? How long does a culture take to show results?

    No, live too far away. They said about a week for the culture to grow.

    Some kitties have delicate sinuis tissue and with a slight fever and irritation of a cold it dries and causes nose-bleeds just as it can in humans. While you wait for the culture and as you give the meds you might want to add some moisture to the atmosphere in your house. A cool vaporizer, heating a pot of water on the stove or even just having a water pot out to evaporate might help a little if this is part of the problem. I see you are from AZ so I'm guessing you are not heating your house much...however dry air can be hard on noses when the nose-owner has a cold....

    hope you all feel better soon.
