Feline Chlamydia

Chlamydia is a dieses repritory with cats. He sneezes and coughs all the time and often has a runny nose. A year ago I rescued a kitten Abandond in a barn, and at home, I put about $ 3500, trying to get her better, she finally died, but also on my past diese two other cats. I took both to the vet several times and they keep them the same drugs and treatments, and they do not work. I was in 8 veterinary and deferred. And my family always tells me I'm crazy to spend so much on my cats, as long as I spent almost $ 7,000 on them trying to get the best and nothing has worked yet. Someone has an advice?

Chlamydia is usually mild enough to be treated with antibiotics as outpatients. tetracycline eye ointment is usually prescribed to treat the infection. Cats should generally be treated for several weeks, sometimes up to six weeks. In the event of an outbreak of chlamydia in households MULTICAT or shelter pet adoption, all cats may need to be treated. Pet owners should keep their cat's eyes and nostrils clean and clear of discharge.

Infected cats should be separated from other cats kept indoors to prevent the spread of infection and to minimize the exposure of cat external stressors, such as fights with other cats.

Some veterinarians recommend that cats be vaccinated infected. Vaccination can reduce the severity and duration of the disease. Some cats may experience minor adverse reactions to the vaccine (ie a short illness, mild, clinics).

Support nutrition therapy (eg, cat food through a tube or intravenously) is usually not required unless infection occurs with another URI, and the cat becomes anorexic.

Prevention
Cats living in households MULTICAT or shelters pet adoption must be vaccinated. Vaccination can not prevent infection but can reduce the severity and duration of the disease. Cats should receive one dose of vaccine at their first visit, and annual vaccinations thereafter.

Veterinarians usually recommend that cats who live in single-cat households not be vaccinated because the disease incidence is so low.

If your vet cannot cure it would be better if you put the cat from his misery.

Sorry.

Are you sure the chlamydia? If it's something else that looks like chlamydia and that could be why the medicine isn't working. As bronchitis or fluid in the lungs or something.

Unfortunately, there are many diseases in cats are chronic (meaning long-term illness). Chlamydia is one of them. You can treat them as symptoms appear, but this is not always possible to fully heal. If you're OK with the vet bills, then ignore your family, you know if your cats are worth the money you spend on them. Definitely keep them indoors and do not receive any new cat while you have them. If you decide not to keep them, wait at least six months to get a new cat to reduce the chances that it stays in the environment. Any new cat should you get vaccinated before you bring home. I wish I had better news for you is a sad story I heard many times.

Feline Chlamydia is a bacterial infection, and can be successfully treated with a course of oral antibiotics. Only certain antibiotics are able to penetrate inside the cells where is Chlamydia. Treatment should be continued for a minimum of four weeks and for at least ten days after the eyes appear normal. In some cases, topical antibiotic eye ointment form can also be given.

Also, talk to your veterinarian give your cat.
