However since I put them on raw they don't need lysine anymore and are doing better than they even did on lysine. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22734#post-467466 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:47:35 +0000 Moonbeam 467466@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi, all... I volunteer, rescue, help the shelter...<br /> I have a foster kitten (&amp;sibling) that was originally put in with a surrogate momma kitty but I took them to bottle feed them because they were being neglected/pushed away (there were 10 kittens to this 1 momma!). One kitten has done well but the other has been on antibiotics on/off her whole short life of about 8wks for URI, snotty nose. We've gone from Amoxicillin to Clavamox. I found out one/some of the 10 kittens has Herpes. I have another foster kitten about 12wks &amp; have had to start him on the clavamox, too. They are kept in separate cages, but are near. Luckily, my own cats are ok... She's almost done with the Clavamox &amp; I would've expected her to be getting better but she's just the same as when I started it. She's eating &amp; playing well, but I feel bad because I can't let them out to play &amp; socialize &amp; the sibling that's well is showing signs of unsocialization. I've done a little research &amp; suggestions are to give powdered lysine, get a Leuk. test, go back to the Vet &amp; get a stronger antibiotic called Azithromycin. Any thoughts? Thanks! </p>
