Common Questions and Answers about Amoxicillin in cats

amoxil

Avatar m tn An amino acid called L-lysine is very effective on a URI when it's gone bacterial you need to add an antibiotic as you have, using the both together will a huge benefit for the kittens and momma too, can't believe your Vet didn't suggest this. You can buy some thru your Vet clinic to get started with but meanwhile order it thru iherb.com where it's cheaper and more pure.
Avatar f tn RUBBISH !!! Amoxicillin is the safest antibiotic for cats who do not have an allergy to penicillin - and very few have. Where are you getting your information???
Avatar f tn My cat had an abscess on his back - which I have enough experience with to treat myself. I have owned cats for 30 years. I have been able to clear and heal the wound and have been dosing him with amoxicillin. He seems to have an allergy to this antibiotic as I have discovered hes been throwing up in the basement. This is the usual drug I use to treat abscess-type infections and I want to make sure the interior infection clears up.
Avatar m tn my cat is 15 years old. He has a lump under his chin. Can I give him Amoxicillin in capsule 250mg, and how much? Thank you.
Avatar n tn Was it in liquid form? My cats do this when I have to squirt it in their mouths. I think it's just the saliva. They usually don't like the liquid medication. I always ask for pill form. If you see that your cat is having trouble breathing or looks like it's face is swollen then you need to get it in right away to an ER vet so that they can give it a benadryl shot and monitor your cat. Don't wait if you truly think it's an allergic reaction. Watch and see how he/she is acting.
Avatar f tn The spot is in the middle between her toes. I have 4 cats and something is always wrong so im always putting money into the vet. I have alot of amoxicillan. I no i probably shouldnt give it to her because its 4 months old I did give a little pain pill. Is there anything that i can do to help her without taking her to the vet?
Avatar m tn It ended up opening up and I kept it clean and treated and it healed with in a week or so. I didnt really think much of it until it appeared again a few weeks ago. The thing is this time along with the one large "bump" with in a few days he had developed at least 10 more small bumps on his skin. They dont bother him and they appear to be cyst like. I cannot tell if they are going down or not.
Avatar n tn Does anyone know how to or what the ratio would be to take capsules of amoxicillin and other antibiotics and mix with water to administer to kitties?
Avatar n tn Can you open a capsule with amoxicillin or ciproflaxin and mix water with it and give it to a kitty with an upper respiratory. Or can you sprinkle it on some canned food?
1566633 tn?1295341269 My sister have 5 cats. They were all doing well for the past 5 months. Unfortunately, 3 of them started to show signs of sickness that started last December 2010. I can say that they weren't improving ever since. We haven't done any intervention yet because we thought it they can recover easily. I am starting to get worried and I don't have any idea what causes this. I want to help them but I don't have enough resources to do this.
Avatar f tn None of the others seem sick and they wont ever trust me again to capture them in the humane traps no matter what i try. I have some human antibiotics in capsule form of Amoxicillan 500mg and ciprofloxacin 500mg. Could I sprinkle a little of this on his food over a period of (how many days)??
Avatar f tn my cats had kittens about 3 weeks ago and they now have their eyes open. but i have this one kitten and his/her eyes puss so much that it hardens and pervents him/her by seeing because it closes her eyes shut. i think he/she is too young to use medicine on but im not sure what to use even if i could. any advice??
Avatar n tn For all of my life I have experienced muscle twitches. They happened a lot when I was little, and seem to happen when I have caffiene or when I am anxious. They control a lot of my life, and affect falling asleep, what position I sit in, and make me extremely irritable. More recently, like about five years ago, I began to have painful tingling in my arms, but almost never both at the same time.
Avatar m tn If your cat had struvite crystals in his urine than Hills Science diet C/D formula is appropriate for life. Some cats have the manufacturing capability in their bodies to produce struvite crystals from the ingredients supplied to them in their diet. C/D is a prescription diet that has eliminated those ingredients so that your cat can no longer produce the crystals.
172023 tn?1334672284 Hey Peekawho, I'm sorry you're going through this. I had to go through this last fall with three cats so I feel for ya! I was fostering a cat with kittens and she passed on Giardia to my other two cats. So I had three cats with diarhea, not fun! It's hard to say where he could have caught it. My vet said they can even get it from another animal at the vet hospital. Isn't that nice? Be prepared. It could take quite awhile to work it's way through his system.
Avatar f tn So I caught a bacteria on my throat last month and was prescribed with Amoxicillin. It got rid of the infection, but then right after my tonsils from inside my throat was swollen and was taking Prednisone. It went away. I felt better and now I have it again. A bacteria on my tonsils and I found out I am getting it from my filthy fan. This time the doctor gave me Clindamycin.
Avatar m tn but alot of care must be taken when using meds for cats....is it amoxicillin you have? just incase I am sending you the site and the recommended dosage for cats, if you don't have enough to use for the recommended time week-10days than it will just cause a suspected infection to grow even stronger and possibly antibiotic resistant. so if you are going to do this you must have a good supply. or please take this kitty in where it can be cared for and not suffer. http://www.drugs.
Avatar f tn The vets don’t recommend to give cats, humans antibiotics, as some may not be suitable for them, however, they are some human antibiotics that can be used in cats, like Amoxicillin, but you need the right doses or else it can lead to overdose.
1625195 tn?1332178662 Starting from when I was 18 (soon to be two years ago), I started breaking out in hives all over my body and my face would swell like crazy! And shortly after, my hands and fingers would start to itch and they'd swell too. Sometimes it only happened because I was too cold... other times because I was too hot... and then sometimes because there was a high pollen count, I was near dust... and my stupid (but lovable and adorable) cats would scratch the hell out of me.
Avatar f tn s nothing for me to find ticks on my outside cats. In the middle of July I took my son to urgent care for a huge red area on his neck. The doctor could see a bite mark, said it was either a tick or spider bite. She ordered amoxicillin for a week which cleared it right up and he was fine for about a month. At the end of August he started with vague complaints, headache abdominal pain achy muscles. Then he started with a swollen lymph node in his groin severe abdominal pain and high fevers.
Avatar m tn The dose for amoxicillin is 62.5 mg per cat twice per day. Amoxicillin is a form of penicillin. A 20 pound cat is really equivalent to two average sized cats so I think that you could safely increase the dose to 75mg twice daily. 50mg of penicillin twice daily is under dosing for any cat. Please try and actually weigh him to be sure or his most recent weight since he may have lost weight since the incident. He probably has not defecated as yet since he is not consuming much food.
Avatar n tn All my cats are indoor cats. Indoor cats live longer and stay healthier. I do leave them out in the back yard on weekends for about an hour, supervised of course.
666921 tn?1254990618 No burning in mouth but plenty of burning in other areas of my body. Reflux acid would typically be in the throat and esophagus but not likely in the mouth. All over itching could be an allergic reaction so I would let your doctor know.
Avatar n tn can you take amoxicillin if it exspired in january of 2009, i dont have insurance and had a few left over from my teeth and need to take them if i can. could someone please help me with this?
Avatar f tn By the way green stool in babies is almost normal and it might be because of fast movement of the stool in the bowel that it has no enough time to turn brown. Stools in origin are geen because of the bile secreted in it but in the bowel it turns brown. So it might be because he didnt eat enough the past days but be careful that he has no diarrhea. and if this persist u may contact his doctor.
