its being fed on whiskas and chicken glizzard, beef at times,
any tips etc...
Before I make a guess as to what this is, I have a few questions for you:
How is his overall health other than the cold stuff?
What is the vet giving him to get better? Antibiotics? Steroids?
When you say 'cold', what are the symptoms?
Does he have brown wax in his ears?
Unlike the others, I don't think this is an allergy because you say he gets better, then gets worse again. I would say something more like a virus which he is not getting rid of totally. The antibiotics controls the symptoms and once he's off the antibiotics, the symptoms reappear.
So, if you answer my questions, I may be able to help you more.
