Need help with my cat's cold

[Lacy50]

My eleven year old cat Pebbles has had cold symptoms all winter and she cannot seem to get rid of them. She had bronchitis a few months ago and had to take antibiotics for 2 weeks. The bronchitis went away but the cold symptoms will not go away. The vet has tried 2 different kinds of antibiotics, but it hasn't worked. Is there anything else out there that I can try?

I'll throw my two cents in as well; it's possible there's something in the home environment hat is acting as an irritant to kitty. You should do a careful review of all household products used and anything unusual in terms of carpeting/furniture/deodorizers etc...

Be diligent! This type of problem can develop into long term scarring that causes permenant issues.

Has your vet done a culture to see just what type of bacteria you're dealing with here?  If not, then at this point it might be a good idea.  It could be that the strain that is afflicting  your cat could be resistant to antibiotics, and they're knocking it back enough to make the cat feel better, but aren't knocking it back enough that his immune system is able to beat it.
