My cat Chloe came in from outside with a tick on her forehead I couldn't get the tick off she took off running for me so it was the next day before I got it off of her. Sometime after that she became very lethargic sleeping all the time her ears were bright red in the beginning and then she went completely pale her nose or ears very pale. She has seen four different vet they have done blood work twice and according to the blood work they said she had an infection of some sorts that she had had for a little while she's been on four different antibiotics I have been telling all of these vet that I believe it was from the tick but for some reason they don't seem to take it seriously. She is not any better today then she was 4 weeks ago. She is crippled in her back end and she has been like this for at least 3 weeks. She still eats and drinks but I have to hold it food and water for her. Other than that she really doesn't try to move much at all she just stays put in her little box looking very very miserable. I'm not sure if she's in pain or if she just feels really bad but she does not look well and she looks like she's just wasting away. She started out on amoxicillin for one week because the first vet said she had a bad ear infections I took her back and told him she wasn't any better after that one week and he said she wasn't running a fever so she's just a lazy cat. And I told him she's never been lazy cat but he just dismissed it as her being lazy cat and wouldn't do anything else for her. I took her to the second vet he did blood panel on her and the markers showed him that she had a bacterial infection of some sort and that it had been going on for a while. At that time he gave me the antibiotic Orbax. He said to give it to her until it was gone that it was going to take a little while to clear the infection so I did. No improvement. I took her to a third vet who finally agreed with me that it could be a tick-borne disease and she put her on doxycycline and prednisone. But mistaking the dropper in the medicine bottle to be the dose that they told me to give her that's all I was giving her and it wasn't helping so I took her to another vet who did a couple of x-rays and a fecal test and said this was just like a puzzle but they're trying to find the pieces for to put it together in other words still no diagnosis. She was put on clindamycin and she has been on that for a week no improvement. During the switch from the doxycycline to the clindamycin I decided to put a dropper full of a clindamycin into a syringe just to check and see if it was the right dosage and it was not. It was only half the amount that she was supposed to be getting. That is probably why it wasn't working for her because I'm an idiot. Now here we are months later she can't walk I'm assuming she's in pain by the way she does her body all the time. I have looked for anything that says clindamycin can treat any tick borne diseases and I cannot find anything on that so I'm going to go on my own here and hope that I'm doing the right thing for her and I'm going to put her back on the doxycycline got the right dose this time and starter back on the prednisone and I really hope that I'm doing the right thing for her. If anyone has suggestions or Warnings or anything I need to know I would really appreciate that. If this doesn't work really fast I feel like I have no options but to let her go. It's not fair for her to continue to suffer while everybody tries to figure this thing out she has every symptoms. Actually win the whole thing started and she was going through the phases her symptoms line dried up with Lyme disease but they say the cats don't get Lyme disease in Oklahoma. But they also say it's because the chick that carries the disease is not in Oklahoma but I have a friend who is still trying to get over Lyme disease so that is constantly giving itself. Nevertheless doxycycline is the drug to use regardless and I would really appreciate any help and advice I could get
