Hi again, My cat has been on antibiotics for the last two weeks- Clavamox, 62.5 mg given twice a day as well as Prednisolone 5 mg, twice a day. He is still discharging a yellow discharge from the left nostril, on the same side he had an upper fang extracted almost three months ago. His breathing is as though the nasal passage is noisy on that side,almost as though it's partially blocked, as though he has a cold, but only on that side,but when I look as far as I can inside his nostril it seems to be clear. When he's sleeping or resting sometimes it doesn't sound at all. Clavamox doesn't seem to be working and neither does the Prednisolone. My cat is also taking echinicea tincture. Is there anything else?Is this the wrong antibiotic?The other thing is that we just had a national holiday yesterday and unbeknownst to me all the vets decided to

take the entire weekend off too. They are all gone until Monday and I'm 167 miles from the next vet in the next city. I'm out of antibiotics and Prednisolone. I did happen to find a package of Clavamox-62.5 mg- but it's a year old. Rather than give my cat nothing until Monday is it OK to give him that? I'm beginning to wonder when the vet first refused to prescribe antbiotics when my cat first got the teeth extracted whether there was a buildup of infection started where the root was and everytime he gets antibiotics it's not enough to clear it or it's not given long enough or it's not the right antibiotic. Thanks for any info you could give.
