[Twnsqr] OT: drugs for Kitty?

[Heidi Vollmer]

Okay, here's the story: My boyfriend has been adopted by a stray cat who is, for lack of any better word, disgusting.     He'd be a beautiful Siamese if he didn't have some horrendous infection  of the eyes, nose, and throat.  All Scruffy wants is love, but  whenever we pet him, we feel the need to wash up afterwards, for fear  of getting some dread disease (or worse, giving something to MY  cat!).  To take him to the vet would be at least $100, which is an  awful lot for a stray.  We did give him a week's worth of  Amoxicillin that I got from a friend (you know who you are, thanks,  sweetie!), and Scruffy seemed to improve; but a week wasn't enough, and  now he's getting worse again.
  
 So, the request - is there any  of you out there with some Eurythromiacin capsules that you'd be  willing to donate?  It's either that, or we take the cat to the  shelter - and who's going to adopt a sneezy, wheezy, mucus-eyed  cat?  If we can get him healthy again, he might become an indoor  cat before winter sets in; I'm afraid of what his chances would be if  he had to stay outside in the snow.  If anyone can help with this,  please email me off-list.
  
  Thanks, good gentles,
  Hanicka/Heidi
