Georgie has a URI...I think

[moosmom]

Georgie has developed either a URI (upper respiratory infection) or allergies. His eyes are runny and he's sneezing alot. I started him on Clavamox and eye drops yesterday. I'm hoping the medicine will wipe it out of him before it spreads to my other kitties. No sense in separating him from everyone as they've all been exposed to it.

Everything else is normal, litterbox and eating wise. If the Clavamox doesn't work, I'm going to see if my vet will give me some Zythromax.

BTW Donna...(I may have missed this but) did your guys ever adjust to the drinking fountain? Is the still water gone or did it run too deep....

[NoahsMommy]

Poor Georgie! Get better sweet guy!

How is he at taking his meds??

[jenluckenbach]

Poor little Georgie. It is probably a URI, that is not uncommon coming from a shelter. I believe the medicine will work, but it takes a little while. It kinda has to run its course, just like a cold that we ger. Hope you fell better real soon, George.

Oh Georgie...... I hope the Clavamox does the trick and you're feeling better very soon, sweetie.

[HayleyRosie]

Georgie, I hope you start to feel better really soon. Hopefully the medication will work real quick.

I sure hope Georgie feels better soon and that the medicine will do the trick. Get well soon Gorgeous Georgie.

Edwina's Secretary,

They love the fountain! I take it apart once a week and clean it because it traps hair like you wouldn't believe!

Doogie (aka Georgie) is still sneezing. I switched his medicine from Clavamox to Orbax. I've been giving him eyedrops too. It's clearing up very slowly and none of my other cats have it.

poor Doogie, hope you get well soon!

[jenluckenbach]

HOW is Georgie feeling?

[moosmom]

Jen,

He's still sneezing on occasion. So is Moo. I'm beginning to think it's allergies. I have 2 months of pet insurance for adopting Doogie, so I might just take him to the vet if he isn't better. I'm thinking "Zythromax" will get rid of it. Unfortunately, it's $50 a bottle and has a shelf life of 10 days. But, if that's what it takes to make him well, so be it.

BTW, Doogie has this "refigerator" fettish. Whenever I open the fridge door, he climbs in.

Here's proof!

I hope Doogie is feeling better!

I love the pic! Zam gets on top of the fridge door as soon as I open it. And thows a fit if I want to shut the door.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I sure hope Doogie is feeling better soon. $50.00 sounds like a lot of money, but like you say, if it does the trick, it's worth it.

That is a great pic of him in the fridge! Gives you something else to remember - open the refrigerator door, close the refrigerator door, oops, open refrigerator door to check for Doogie.

Oh Doogie, don't you know it's cold in the fridge???? Not good for sneezing. Hope you are feeling better soon.

$50.00 is a bit steep but anything to make the furbabies better. When I took Max to the vet the other night I walked out 10 min later and $75.00 poorer. Yikes.
