how long should it take for amoxcillin to cure my cat? he is sneezing and he's been taking it 3 days already?

Answer 1

You must remember that Amoxicillin if not being given to cure the sneezing. The sneezing is usually caused by a virus that has to run its course. The antibiotics used are to prevent the damage the virus and sneezing cause so that infection doesn't become a compounding problems that brings on fever and a sicker kitty. You might be able to include some benedryl with the amoxicillin for sneeze help at 1 mg/pound of kitty twice a day.

Answer 2

My husband and I took our 2 year old cat with us home for the holidays (11 hour drive each way, both Thanksgiving and Christmas). Everything actually went very well, but I think we also just have a really mellow cat. Some things that worked for us: -Bringing a crate and a harness/leash, so that our cat couldn't bolt out of the car when we stopped. -Bringing our cat's litter box with a small amount of litter (she never used it, but it gave us piece of mind) -We did not give our cat food or water for several hours before the trip (to prevent carsickness and trips to the litter box; although we did give our cat small amounts of water during the trip, and she never did use the litter box) -We also packed a few toys and played with our kitty during the trip; it also provided us with entertainment during the long car ride. Our vet suggested that we take short car rides with our cat first to gage their comfort in the car and did let us know that some cats do travel better with sedatives. You may want to call your vet and ask if that is an option.
