Although I have had kitties my entire life, last year was my first experience with URI in my clan. My Mr. B started sneezing constantly, sometimes 10-20 in a row!! And his eyes and nose were runny and dripping! He also suffers from asthma so I immediately took him to the vets'. It was midnight! But with his asthma, and advanced age, I was very worried that his respir. system would be greatly affected. He was treated with an injection of Amoxicillin and then given a 10 day course of oral Amoxicillin. Within a few days, my Oliver started sneezing too and was give the same treatment. I was wondering if your baby is given Pred. for acute asthma attacks?? The two vets I have been with over the past several years no longer prescribe oral steroids for feline asthma. It is now believed (they say) that cats do not respond to oral steroids well. ( Unlike dogs) Now, when he experiences an acute attack I bring him to the vets' for a injection of Solu Cortef. They are very retisent to do even this unless his attack is severe or if he has a very persistent cough, as steroids greatly compromise the immune system, making them very vulnerable to opportunistic infections such as URI! Since Mollie is on Prednisone, I'm wondering if this isn't contributing to her suseptibilityto URI. I'm just now reading up on FIP. I pray too that this is not Mollie's diagnosis! Have you talked to your vet about this? He should be able to rule it out and ease your mind! Love and get well wishes for you Mollie girl and the whole furry bunch!
