I adopted a cat a couple years ago who had URI and all three of my fuzzies got it. Two of them became extremely ill with it and I almost lost them both. I got them on Amoxi and eventually (weeks later) they recovered, but it was a close call. My cat started showing symptoms of it again a few weeks ago and I got him on amoxi ASAP and it went away before the fuzzies picked it up, luckily. My suggestion would be to get them on the anti-biotics ASAP. I just waited too long to take them in.

... would like to know if anyone has encountered it. If so, what methods were used to diagnose, what was the course of treatment and what was the response rate? > Suzanne
