Try a vaporizer beside him at night... that did seem to help Lily for a bit. I'm thinking about going back for a 2nd opinion from another vet. Is your little one eating and drinking and playing okay? I'm also trying to give her a tsp. of plain yogurt a day now too so all her "good bacteria" isn't being wiped out with the antibiotic. I've heard all kinds of things on here... lots of good advice. Good luck!

Thanks, guys. He was very lethargic today, which is not his usual self... SO I started freaking out. He wasn't eating or drinking - at all... So about noon I force-fed him a few tiny syringes of water and gave him a dose of that honey-goop stuff to ensure he had some sugar and calories in him. Nothing helped. I had a vet appt for my cat at 4pm so I thought, I'll turn up the air conditioner so it's not 70 deg in here... I put it on 74. When I got back 2 hrs later he was fine. Bouncing around and whining for me.

So at least I know now that 70 deg is not acceptable. :/ Guess I'll have to use a fan. I get hot a lot. :P

I will update everyone with his progress with the cough.

HUGS!
