Dear friend,

It can take four doses of clavamox before you see any improvement. Keep in mind that most URI's i cats are viral and do not respond to antibiotics - they are only give to prevent serious secondary infections like Pneumonia and brochitis.

Keep useing the terramycin on his eyes. If he is congested make a steamroom by running your shower on hot and take him in for 15 minute intervals to break it up. As long as he is eating - he is still smelling his food.He should improve in a week after starting the meds.

Please let me know how he is and if you have more questions I am happy to help in any way possible.

Very sincerely,

Terri
