He will be started on Azithromycin for 4 wks.

I have never tested positive for coinfections but have had courses of treatment for both Bartonella and Babesia. (I personally think I still have several coinfections). Presently I'm not on any abx treatment.

The question: any opinion on whether I and/or my kids get tested for this now! Oscar,the cat, may have had this for a long time (he's 4 yrs old now) but at least for a year he's had the sx that led the new very astute vet to test him.
