My problem is with the cat I have rescued from the streets.. he has been kind of sick.. He was sneezing repeatedly and sometimes having kind of an asthyma attack, breathing very heavily and loudly.. First vet gave him antibiotics when I took him for neutering and vaccinating
I took him to another one next time, they told me it is lungworms and we dewormed the cat and my dogs, and gave antibiotics..
Then this guy who took him in, took him to the 3rd vet and I went with them, and the vet said it is nasal infection and once again antibiotics. one month later, the symptoms still there, so with the same vet another consultation and antibotics.. again. I repeatedly asked the vet there if I should treat my dogs, and he said, they don't transfer to each other..

After that this lady took him in, I thought he was healed at this point, but no, so the lady took him to the 4th vet, and they said it is gum infection, and antibiotics.. again..

he is still on these pills but my problem is, I heard one of my dogs breathing the same way the cat does this morning. I am devastated!

I wanted to help the cat, but I can't believe I put my dogs to risk! How stupid I am!!

the cat is purring, very happy and playful at home, it breaks my heart really.

I talked to someone for advice from my home country, and she told me I should seperate the cat and the dogs, which can only be done if I kick the cat out, which I could never do.. :(

I don't know which clinic I should visit at this point, and really need advice.

Anybody saw anything like this before??
Or any vet suggestions?
I've been to 4 which were supposed to be good, I should find the right clinic and the doctor this time..:(

have any of the vets tested her blood for FIV/Felv etc? have they taken a stool sample? Urine sample? or are they just taking a guess. Can you say which Vets? Have you tried Nad Al Sheba or Al Safa yet? Most cat things are not passed to dogs btw.
