My husband's new nickname for Sushi and Kirin are "the money pits." I know taking in pets is a big financial responsibility but we did not expect both cats to be sick right off the bat. First off, they were $95 each from the rescue. Then Sushi's visit to the white coats for conjunctivitis cost $63. Kirin needs his final kitten cocktail and they both need rabies shots which is in two weeks. And both need to be neutered within the month.

On top of all that, Kirin is still suffering from his "cold" or whatever you call it. My vet will not perform any specific exam without doing a basic one first. I understand it's just to cover their bases, but it's $35 for the exam, at least $20 for the specific ailment exam, plus meds. AND my husband thinks that since it's "just a cold" it just needs to run its course. I believe that too, to a point, but it's been 2 weeks now and the L-Lysine and vapor from showers I've been giving Kirin hasn't seemed to help.

I tried looking online for Clavamox but everywhere requires a prescription from a veterinary, which means it out of the question for me. All I want is for my two kittens to be healthy (Sushi's left eye is cleared of conjunctivitis but it started last night in his *right* eye). Is there ANY WAY I can get Clavamox or Baytril without a prescription? I know that's all Kirin needs!

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
