My cat has a chest infection or fluid. Can I give her antibiotics?

Hello, I asked here about my cat yesterday, a Dr answered that she might have an inflam, infection or fluid in the thorax. Honestly I don’t trust vets here in my country, they are somehow careless, so I can’t ask them.. can I give my cat ceftriaxone? Or what antibiotic should I use? thank you

I'm sorry you don't trust the vets in your country. Unfortunately it is illegal for us to prescribe medications to Koka without seeing her in person first. You will have to try to find a vet you can trust to get her antibiotics if she needs them. Best of luck.
