So I just got back from the vet. The vet said he probably has a mild RI. She agreed that the oral antibiotics were useless and in fact were making his throat inflamed from all the struggling it was taking to get it in his throat. So she gave him an anti-inflammatory. She couldn't do the mouth swab because the oral antibiotics I gave him last night would interfere with the results she would get so she gave me some baytril injections to do everyday for seven days. If he doesn't get better after the seven days bring him back for a swab. I feel a whole lot better about it. And although I don't like needles they look much easier to do on him than jamming the tube down his throat every night.
