Carl has had one week of Clavamox (which didn't clear up his cold) and so far has had 5 days of Doxycycline which has worked wonders.
He only gets 1/4 of a pill once a day b/c it upsets his stomache otherwise. He seems to be getting better quickly, and now only has a barely recognisable snort and the occasional snotty sneeze. He has 10 days worth of meds that the adoption vet gave me to give to him.
My question (and I will contact the rescue vet, but it's hard to get in touch with her understandably, so I turn to the TCS experts): Is Doxycycline like an antibiotic that you have to finish the full treatment for it to take affect? If Carl is feeling better, can I stop the meds?
