Thanks, I will ask next time I speak to her.

Well, the debris in Millie's ears is not an infection and I do have ear wash which I use periodically to clean them out.  She does not scratch her ears so it does not seem to bother her.  On another note, the L-lysine arrived today so I'll start her on it.

I'm happy to hear that Apollo is doing well.  Millie's ears are always dirty and I'm hoping the antibiotic will help that condition.  The vet tested the debris from her ear and said it was not ear mites.  She thought it was a yeast problem.  Good idea about the steam in the bathroom.  Millie...

We got Millie when she was about 3 1/2.  Yes, from a house with 9 cats which was none too clean.  The vet gave her shots of antibiotics, but they did no good.  Then we switched to amoxicillin and I mixed the powder with water.  She took that religiously for over four months - seemed to improve...

Great!  Thank you.  I received an e-mail day before yesterday that the L-lysine was sent USPS so should have it within a few days.  I wrote down the dosages you gave me and while she's doing well, I don't think she's 100% yet.  I still have 20 days of doxicycline and as long as she tolerates it...

Thank you so very much.  You have no idea how happy I am that Millie seems so much better.  I hope the L-lysine arrives soon so she can remain healthy.  She's a very sweet girl and seems to be getting her vim and vigor back now.  I want to keep it that way.

I am very happy to report that Millie has stopped sneezing and her eye is dry and so is her nose.  The doxicycline seems to be doing the trick after only a week.  I've washed all bedding, cloroxed her litter box so she won't be reinfected.  Also have been feeding her only Taste of the Wild wet...

Well, in a former life, I owned a paint store.  Please tell your vet the oil based paints are toxic and truly, so are water based ones. especially before they're dry.  Please read the paint can.  You are advised to use in a well ventilated room - you had your cat in a closed room with all those...

Thanks.  I'm going to order it.

Thank you for your advice.  As long as I know other  cats on the doxycycline are also on the L-lysine, I'm okay.  I was concerned because some medications can lower the efficiency of an antibiotic.  Are there clear instructions with the L-lysine so I'll know how much to give her?  To be honest...

The vet did not give me eye drops or L-lysine.  Since she's on the doxycycline, should I be adding the L-lysine without the vets say so?  A little history.  Millie came from a house where there were 9 cats and the owner was a hoarder.  The owner died and it took them 2 weeks to get the rest of...

Update - Took Millie to the vet on Monday.  She seems to think Millie has a yeast infection because it affects only one eye and is worse in one nostril.  Anyhow, we are now on doxycycline - 1/4 of a 100 mg pill a day.  She also suggested I feed her a gluten free diet so I bought Taste of the...

The vet did not elaborate on the lung situation.  She received about 3 anti-biotic shots from him (1 every 2 weeks) and then we switched and for 4 months, gave her anti-biotics orally.  She did improve a bit, but never stopped sneezing and the vet said that in some cats, the condition is...

Milly is 4 years old.  I got her when she was 3.  She came from the home of a hoarder who passed away leaving 9 cats.  By the time they got into the house, 2 weeks had elapsed and 2 of the 9 had died.  Millie weighed about 6 pounds.  She now weighs 10. Millie has medium long hair and looks like...
