We have one that the PCR has just come back +ve. I&amp;#39;d started it on chloramphenicol ointment pending results of the swab and the perceived wisdom seems to be that it should resolve spontaneously</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>RE: Mycoplasma conjunctivitis in a cat</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/206970?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 Jan 2019 22:04:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:05a80fc4-2fa4-450c-8542-8b78c03b0565</guid><dc:creator>Robert Lowe</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;[quote user=&amp;quot;David Mills&amp;quot;]&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Used to see the odd one at the RS, they looked like Chlamydophila but the cytology is slightly different and generally not as severe as C. felis. Doxy for 10-14 days will clear it. Is Chloramphenicol effective vs these?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;[/quote]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I guess it depends on whether mycoplasma is a primary pathogen or secondary to other disease as to whether chloramphenicol is effective or not. Like you I don&amp;#39;t find the need to look beyond doxycycline in the very rare cases we see.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Mycoplasma conjunctivitis in a cat</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/206967?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 Jan 2019 21:33:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:3718794b-1e49-4778-b416-82dbdde08dce</guid><dc:creator>David Mills</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;[quote user=&amp;quot;Martin Atkinson&amp;quot;]I cannot recall diagnosing this previously but was going to try doxycycline tablets next.[/quote]&lt;/p&gt;
