I dont want to give him meds till he is better hydrated . But he sounds really congested - with intermeting purring and or very soft clicks.

OK I am figuring this out now and will pm you how to dose in case you want to use the Cipro 250mg.
In the mean time, read this, about hydration. IF you have any questions, post them on the board, ok?
