Avatar n tn my 7 month old is on amoxicillin for an ear infection. I just gave him 2 teaspoons instead of the 1 teaspoon as instructed. What are the side effects?
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 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.
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 org/pet-care/poison-control/ As another alternative, on your bottle should be a number to call in case of overdose. Although they primarily help humans, they might have guidelines for animals as well. Chances are the medication will taste terrible to a cat so they wouldn't ingest much. But toxicity works so different for those critters that it is definitely worth a phone call at least.
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.
144586 tn?1284666164 Approval has been granted to sell nalaxone without a prescription in drug stores. This drug is a heroin and opiate agonist. It will reverse an overdose. In the injectable form the dose that is sold is both outrageously priced and only a small dose. Two local pharmacies wanted sixty dollars U.S. for the so-called "emergency kit!" This is twenty times what hospitals pay. Furthermore the pharmacist provided incorrect instructions for use.
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.
