Pebbles always had sneezing and a stuffy nose (two years).
On November 6,I took Pebbles in to see Dr. Simmondsbecause she stoppedeating. The Doctor put her back on antibiotics (Doxycycline) twice a day for her stuffy nose and sneezing. Once Pebbles is stable and gainsome weight, the Vet will check her teeth, as she says there are some sharp points on her molars. Three weeks later, Pebbles is still sneezing, and still losing weight. I've used Doxycycline several times before and it has worked, but now it seems to have lost its effectiveness. Is Doxycycline a form of Zithromax?
On December 24, I took Pebbles to another Vet at Terwillegar Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Jody Bennett was open to Zithromax, but she wanted me touse a stronger dose of Baytril first.The doctoralsoincreased the amount of Critical Care I should feedPebbles. AndI am to Sub-Q Pebbles daily for hydration.
Today December 31, Pebbles has gained alittle weight. Her sneezing subsided. But her nose is still stuffy, and continues to breath noisy.I am going toswitch fromBaytril to and startusing Zithromax. I have theZithromax Pediatric Oral Suspension. It is a powder for oral suspension, USP. The azithromycin after reconstitution is 100 mg/5ml. I am to give Pebbles (who weighs 990 grams) 1.3ml by mouth once daily. Does this sound right?
Here is Pebbles at the Terwillegar Veterinary Clinic on Christmas Eve.
