We rescued Mr. Fuzzy, a great little grey and white guy with apricot touches hear and there, from a life outside about three years ago. He had worms and a bad upper respiratory infection. After a few weeks of treatment, he was in great health. Maybe a year or so later, he started sneezing badly. He was treated with anitbiotics and responded well. Then a few months later, the infection was back. Since then, we have been through various antibiotics, and shortening periods of him being well.
Recently, our vet did a culture as well as flushing Fuzzy's sinuses. Pseudomonas, a very difficult bacteria, was identified. The cultures were also tested for responsiveness to various antibiotics, and none worked.
Mr. Fuzzy is in great health other than having a sneezing fit, with nasty discharge, once or twice a day. Obviously, there is risk from his carrying such an infection.
Our vet has done research and I have done on-line searches, all to no avail. Any recommendations from anyone for dealing with pseudomonas?
