Avatar n tn We then did a CBC and he tested positive for Anaplasmosis. He was immediately started on 50 mg of Doxycycline and given Tramadol for pain (I've added around 150mg of aspirin occasionally for inflammation). After initially improving (dramatically), his symptoms don't seem to be any better. I convinced the vet to give me another two weeks of Doxycycline, as they only gave me a two week supply, but it's been 10 days already and I'm concerned that I'm chasing a wild goose.
Avatar f tn Doxycycline can be used for extended periods for 6 - 12 months in select situations under the supervision of a physician, but the doses are usually in the subtherapeutic range for infection at something like 25 or 50 mg a day. The dose you mentioned is a full antibiotic dose and is usually only used for a week or two.
Avatar n tn your veterinarian has already tried an anti-inflammatory medication, and if this was not helpful, then evaluation by a veterinary neurologist for spinal cord disease is in order. There is one near you: Steven F.

Avatar m tn I have been using doxycycline, I have had trouble urinating still I had oral sex about 3 months ago. First my penis was going numb and then it went away.
Avatar m tn My cat has a hole in his leg, I cleaned it up but was told he might need a antibiotic. My doctor gave me azithromycin 5 daily dose. I was wondering if I can use it on my cat? I can't take him to a vet, so I'm trying to handle this at home.
Avatar n tn leptospirosis and performing blood cultures for fungal and bacterial infectious diseases? Have they performed biopsies of the enlarged lymph nodes, and skin lesions? If not, it may be a good idea to consider some of these tests and others if deemed helpful. Most of the tick borne diseases do respond to doxycycline, but Babesia does not respond to doxycycline and must be treated with medications that your dog has not been treated with yet including clindamycin with metronidazole, and others.
Avatar n tn Vet started on Doxycycline 25mg 2X per day for 30 days. Given these symptoms and inability to locate herniated/ruptured disc on the CT, is it possible the arched back and serology results, along with the vomiting bile, lethargy, depression and failure to eat were all symptoms of the Rickettsia, and not a ruptured disc?
Avatar n tn I was on Doxy 100mg for about a month for antimalarial reasons, saw a slight improvement in my skin, and was then prescribed Doxy 50mg for acne indefinitely. I’ve been on this for about 3 weeks. I have definitely noticed fewer pimples, but I still have the odd one here and there. I’ve also been using 10% Benzoyl Peroxide gel which I think has worked wonders. I would like to go off Doxy 50mg to see if it is the Doxy or the Benzoyl which has helped my skin.

603946 tn?1333941839 You should know, however, that all vaccines, including rabies, are medically approved for use in HEALTHY animals ONLY. This is explicitly stated in the package insert for every vaccine. So if your dog or cat is showing any signs of acute or chronic disease, the manufacturers DO NOT recommend administration of the vaccine. This leads me to believe that your Vet is only in the money making business and not the well-being of your pets!!! Did Buddy get Parvo from the vaccine? I do not know...
Avatar n tn then the PCR test was done and results were positive for mycoplasma, so we did 3 weeks on doxycycline (cycle ended yesterday). some improvement, but now more sneezing and still some clear eye discharge. yesterday, our vet recommended 2-3 additional weeks on doxy, told me it could be allergies or just a stubborn mycoplasma infection. if 2-3 more weeks don't stop the symptoms, we could see an internist for a CAT scan and another test to look up the cat's nasal passages. any thoughts?
10627852 tn?1411542154 Meanwhile, in looking for a veterinary internist who is ACVIM board-certified, I found one of the ACVIM vet practices I'm considering now offers HBOT. http://www.veterinaryspecialtycare.com/surgical-careChamber.php https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzcgEiCdhqA http://www.hyperbaricchambertreatment.com/can-hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy-cure-kidney-disease.html Thoughts, anyone?
Avatar m tn I understand that current advice is to wait 6 weeks for NAAT retest following Doxycycline use. Is that long enough to avoid false postives and/or false negatives? Lastly, I understand that Chlamydia possibly causes infertility in a woman, but only after being infected a number of times. Would you agree? Or can infertility be caused by just one infection of CT? I look forward to putting this behind me, but I'd appreciate some rational reasoning. Thanks again, Doc.
Avatar n tn We typically start with a calorie deficit for cats (when we use this formula for energy needs) of about 60 %. So this gives you about 192 kcal per day for your cat. However, it is not unusual at all to need to go to 50 % reduction in cats, which would be 180 kcal per day. (We generally do not advise going below 50 percent of needs without being under the direct supervision of your veterinarian, again because of health risks for cats).
Avatar f tn Ok, then after 7 days it should be cured, but if you want to error on the side of caution then use a condom for another week or 2. And you can retest at about 3 weeks after medication to be 100% sure.
Avatar n tn I adopted a beautiful, solid black, 4-year old, female cat from a veterinary office a little over a year ago. Granted, we already had two older cats and a young dog, we knew that adding yet another cat would take them some time to adjust. That was over a year ago.
Avatar n tn I usually use 250 mg of Cipro for a 60-70 pound dog. However, the side effects of the Cipro should have subsided by now. Since the problem with your dog began as a vomiting issue did any of the vets discuss performing endoscopy, a barium study, or special dietary regiman? Did they discuss the possibility of food allergy gastritis? Did they mention giving your dog a medication called Celexa or Reglan, (or other medication that are anti-nausea and vomiting) medications?
Avatar f tn Ive been on doxycycline for 3 1/2 days, and the discharge has not gone away at all.. may have even worsened. My vagina hurts excruciatingly every time I pee. How long till the pain and discharge goes away?
