Thanks for the information. My cat has been on 3 antibiotics being Amoxicillin, Ceftin and Clindamycin. during my last vet visit I mentioned I had done an onternet search and read about l-lysine. The vet said there were no studies done on this supplement. Then when I was leaving the vet mentioned that she would order it from a vet supply company. It is the paste in a malt form . It is much more costly by 5 times vercus the supermarket brand. My kitten does not like it but he takes it. He is still very congested but is active , eats well and has gained weight. He is now 4 pounds, having gained 3 pounds in the 2 mos since I found him. The vet thinks he is older than she first thought because his second teeth are in. He is 6 mos supposedly. I have also tried neosynephrine.(I diluted the 1/2 % with saline to make 1/4% per the vet) I give one drop in one nostil every day. So far nothing has helped the congestion. Do they ever used a oral decongestant for kittens? Also the vet is afraid to spay the kitten at this time. She also mentioned that he might have a nasal polyp???
