Absess on cheek won't go away!

I have spent $900.00 which most of it was a loan on my kitten that has recurring absesses on his left cheek. I am desperate to find alternative tips on how to possibly safe my kitten's life!!! He had 2 surgeries by 2 different doctors and 4 lances. He also was on Amoxicillian 250mg.for 14 days and Baytril 11.3 mg. for 30 days then 14 more days [after the Amoxicllan]. As soon as the antibiotics are stopped he developes a lump in his neck [lymph nodes]? then he developes an absess in his left cheek within 72 hrs after the antibiotic is stopped. My latest Vet requested that I euthanize the kitten because he said the infection should have responded to 58 days of antibiotics and the 2 surgeries. Does anybody know of another cat that had a similar problem and was cured by holistic or alternative medicines??? PLEASE TRY TO HELP ME HELP THIS VERY LOVING,SWEET LITTLE BOY TABBY NAMED FOXY!!!!!!!!!!!! I realize that this is a forum and I can not expect professional advice however I am desperate to try and help save my little boy's life!!! This is his last chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I promise I will not hold anything against anybody who gives me any tips,I promise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sincerely,Rosa Bood

I haven't heard that any vet has suggested a sample be taken from each area to be cultured which I find ridiculous. I also haven't heard that either vet tested your kitty for FIV. This does make a big difference in recovery time and recurrence. I had a Tomcat with this problem and it ended up being a bacterial strain from him messing with a dead bird. Unfortunately he was aged and FIV+ and it was 20 years ago so I had to put him down. I think things have advanced today and you have a young Cat so there is more hope. I'm sorry you have had to do through this but I think we have all been the victim of the unimaginative vet. I would take your kitty for a drive to Orlando to see a Cat specialist because there should be an answer to this. I know of a Cat hospital on the southwest end and a cat specialist in north Orlando. I'll be happy the send you their info.

hexiesfriend I'm so thankful that you replied,thank you! I will let you know if I decide to see the Vet in Orlando however I have a couple of Holistic Vet's names that were given to me this evening by a couple friends. Their Vets are much closer to me than Orlando and since I don't have a car I will contact Vets that are closer to me first. Thanks again. Sincerely,Rosa P.S. Foxy is FIV and Leukemia negative.

Thanks to chloekay for all of her time and very helpful information!!!
