My 14-week old kitten Fracas has still not completely overcome the illness
that causes him to sneeze rapidly about 4-30 consecutive times, mostly in
the morning just before I give him a refrigerated liquid suspension of
amoxicillin.

Fracas appears to respond positively to amoxicillin, although the effect is
only temporary. It's as if he's hooked on it, because if he should stop
getting it, then after about 5 days he becomes a coughing, sneezing,
water-eyed, inactive mess. He has been on this antibiotic twice daily on all
but several days since July 15. Since Aug 8 it was upgraded slightly from
generic amoxycillin to Pfizer Clavamox? (amoxicillin trihydrate +
clavulanate potassium).

The vet had previous observed that when his symptoms are severe he has a
very small amount of greenish nasal discharge.

The vet is resisting giving him a stronger antibiotic, even though he
appears to respond OK, albeit temporarily, to amoxicillin. Unfortunately his
bouts of sneezing are disrupting his developing nasal passages, and
consequently he now breathes noisily thru his nose and also snores at night.

I think Fracas needs to be on a stronger antibiotic ASAP, before his nasal
problems permanently worsen, as he is developing rapidly. The vet isn't
telling me about other possible antibiotics, although I've already asked.
Anyone out there know of some stronger antibiotics for my kitten's symptoms
that I can inquire with my vet about?
