(lynn, a "clot" means a small blood clot that breaks loose and travels to the lungs, heart or brain. All three are life threatening in any living thing) But it almost sounds to me like an asthma like attack rather than a blood clot. Those things don't usually disolve that quickly and most do not have a happy ending. Asthma or an allergy to something. The fresh air of outside may have helped it to pass. Try and think about what he was doing, what was around him. Did you give him any meds or new foods? flea spray, powders anything that might have set him off.

To: felvtalk@MailingList.net Subject: Re: last of tests results-sinus infection Send reply to: felvtalk@MailingList.net I have used enrofloxacin (Baytril) in kittens for stubborn sinus infections. Clavamox or chloromycetin are some other alternative antibiotics for this problem. Radiography, sinus flushes, culture and cytology are all some diagnostic alternatives that need exploring before one gives up too soon. About the Baytril, this is off label use and there is concern over its effect on cartilage growth, but it has worked for me. Additionally, use of dimethlyglycine to boost the kittens immunity might be helpful. A second opinion may also be in order. Interferon does not need to be given intranasally. You can save yourself the trouble and just give it orally. M. W.

I have long hoped we would have a vet join us. I have a most interesting case history for you, but to long to do tonight. As to the interferon nasally. I have a 9 month old, felv positive, male that got that URI that was going around several months ago. My vet tried every antibiotic he had or had ever heard of. Nothing worked. He tried all those you mentioned and all that happened was Merlin started having bloody stools. 5 days of getting the interferon drops in his nose, it started going away and has not come back. At any rate, a brief introduction. My name is Barb, I'm an RN and have lost two to felv, have 4 with it, but only one with symptoms. Very long story as to how I have so many. Again, thrilled to have a professional with us. Barb -------------------------------------- END
