You could well be right smokey the elder, thanks for that advice, he is still sneezing today, his 3rd day, and has been on the antibots since wednesday, he is still not feeling very well, but eating better today, he is on Clavulox twice daily 50mg, and ketofen (antiflamm).

I think I may have found the source as to where he picked this up, if it is indeed a URI, A little ginger tom has been visiting, he is owned that I am sure of, and is sleeping in my pram in the carport (I use it for delivering heavy papers) and he appears to be sneezing, i am going to knock on doors a street down where I think I have seen him, and then hopefully his owners will get him treated, course it could be pure coincidence.

Ash is older too, so his immune system may take more time to kick in,and he might be having more trouble fighting it than a younger cat, its not flue as he is vaccinated against that.

I just hope he has nothing stuck major in his airways, but I think I will mention to the vet on Monday what you have told me, and if necessary we will try another course of antibots, thanks so much.

I really appreciate everyone's concern and well wishes, my son is due back in two weeks, and he will be so looking forward to seeing Ash, he just loves the old boy, has a repoire with him really, a mutual respect I would call it, so let us hope ole Ash gets through this and soon. You are all wonderfully supportive and it means a lot to me and Ash.
