Ever since the last vet visit, Quince has barely moved off the heated cat bed. There is evidence he is eating and he is pooping on the floor- but other than that, this four year old’s activity level is at a very low point. I am hoping after the next 5 Baytril are taken- his URI will be on the run and he will be able to breathe again.
I know I took a chance with him being in such deplorable shape, but I wanted him to survive the abuse and neglect. It might have all been in vain- but if the worse happens, and I once again need to stamp a Bridge Pass at least he will know that briefly, he was loved and cared for and protected to the best of our ability. At least he has that-
He will have known good food and affection. When he sees you, he knows that he has a friend. That means the world to someone who never had one.
One of my cats, an old tom (Tommy), gets URIs twice a year, producing a lot of snot. Because he is extremely difficult to pill, for the last three years our vet has treated him with an injection of Convenia. It is not specifically for URI’s but for Tommy it is a miracle drug. Within hours he is breathing well, the snotting has stopped, and he obviously feels much much better. Perhaps this would do the trick for Quince?
He has actually had two of these shots with not much of a result from them.
