My vet has suspected mycoplasma/babesia for my cat 😠is it curable. He has been eating well after 3 days of doxy antibiotic But sleeps a lot and isn’t active like before But eating well just like before Temperature is normal too.

Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
Mycoplasmosis is a protozol disease
The chances of recovery cannot be guaranteed in the early stages The chances of recovery depends on how the pets respond to treatment
The doxycycline antibiotic has to be given for minimum 21 days and have to give supplements like thromobofit or thrombit to increase the platelet count

But the vet told me doxy for 5 days is enough 5 days course.
ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Please help me doctor
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
No doxy has to be given atleast for 10 days
Based on the another round of blood test we recommend for the whether the doxy should be continued or not
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
Send the prescription of the medicines

I have attached doctor please check
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
They are giving the correct treatment, as they are giving it through INTRAVENOUS route after the pet starts eating on its own they may give oral antibiotics for another 5-10 days
Continue giving the thromobofit syrup atleast for 15 days

Yes mam I’ll do that But my cats abdomen has bloated Doc asked if I did deworming
I said no And he’s breathing hard too I guess that’s because of bloated abdomen Doc said it might be because he ate also It little reduces after my cat goes to washroom But Not totally
It’ll be still slightly bloated But after eating
It becomes even more bloated I don’t know I am worried ðŸ˜
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
After eating the stomach becomes but enarlged if u feel something is wrong with pets stomach u can get a ultrasound done

Okay mam thank you Hope it’s not FIP ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
Yes that may also be the reason that's why get the ultrasound done so that u will get to know whether it's because of FIP or the normal stomach size

Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
There is a specific test to diagnose the FIP based on that we diagnose
Blood test is not that specific for FIP
