Avatar n tn The 2 cats do fine on the Metronidazole, but the symptoms can recur in 2 months time which has me baffled. I have not tested for wet FIP, but that had crossed my mind. I don't believe it to be a toxin due to the fact that the first time in showed in the first kitten they were living in my barn and the second kitten showed it when living in my house. We did look at a blood smear from the mother cat that died to see if there could be babesia or any foreign signs - clear.

7052683 tn?1392938795 hi dear, not had to use that particular antibiotic on my cats before, also called Flagly. it is a risky antibiotic and from what I've read should only be used if a culture was done and it was deemed necessary to kill that certain bacteria. its often used in conjuction with other antibiotics...so your Vet is going at this will both barrels so to speak. both of these can cause diarrhea, sedation, lethargy and loss of appetite, so no wonder poor Mia is in hiding.
Avatar f tn I just had my two cats spayed and neutered, as well as rabies vaccine, on Tuesday, Luna and Max, 6-7 months old. When I brought them home, Max seemed to be great, he ate, and drank, and was doing fine. Luna I was worried about, I gave her tramadol, and she did fine. Then on Thursday night I gave it to Max, thinking he was in pain as he wasn't acting himself. He scratched me, and spit out the 1/4 of the 50 mg tablet, then he frothed from the mouth. I just decided not to try that again.
Avatar f tn Many tests and procedures later and her vet diagnosed her with inflammatory bowel disease and put her on Metronidazole and prescribed cat foods with duck, rabbit and deer. Well, both of my cats reaction to the new food was to try to bury it. The Metronidazole made Pixel sick and she stopped eating and her weight fell to under six pounds and the vet then put her on steroids. During this time I bought brand after brand of cat food, hoping to get her to eat anything.
Avatar n tn I think you are doing your best and about all you can do. From my perspective, cats, despite OUR best intentions, don't have the understandiong as to why we even take them to the vets let alone put them through surgery, except for broken legs and open wound type of thing where they can see and feel the immediate relief.
1472764 tn?1287588186 Has anyone ever used oral metronidazole for a vaginal bacterial infection? I'm on my 5th of 7th day and have developed a very thick clear to cloudy mucousy discharge. Is this normal. I know the gel form will pull everything out in a thick white chunky discharge but does the oral pill.
Avatar m tn Revolution is primarily a treatment for fleas in cats and dogs but it is approved for ear mites in both.

2013578 tn?1341812012 ) Its an amino acid that strengthens the immune system so they can fight off this on their own, its usually viral in cats... but if in doubt at all please speak to a Vet first.....could also be that she has a small particle irritating her nasal passage (?) for cats with an acute attack we use 500mg for a week, than down to 250mg following for a few weeks. and for cats its important to use the brand with NO additives...just pure lysine. I will give you a link to where I order mine from...
Avatar f tn s had liquid Metronidazole and Tylan Powder both have made no difference. His most recent test came back positive for feline corona virus and c. perfringens enteroxtoxin. The odd thing is that we have another kitten that is his sister and she doesn't have this problem (normal stool with a dollop of softer stool on top which we've been told is normal for kittens on kitten chow). We've tried seeing if it's a sensitive digestion system with trying out different foods.
Avatar f tn You can masturbate but if you use something like a vibrator, wash it thoroughly. :>) Agree too to use a condom as it can be passed back and forth.
Avatar f tn Some of the treatment regimens use a medication called metronidazole (Flagyl) or clarithromycin (Biaxin). These medications can cause a metallic taste in the mouth. You will need to consult a gastroenterologist for adequate therapy. Regards.
Avatar n tn My doctor prescribed me metronidazole because of my yeast infection but I'm really "iffy" about taking it because I don't want to harm my baby. Have any of u guys taken metronidazole while pregnant ?
1560663 tn?1298046527 Opus88 I tried everything for Toonces, yes pumpkin included....fiber in cats with megacolon is tricky, it can sometimes absorb the water thus leading to even more constipation. Wet food over dry food is better but then you have to try and brush their teeth or give a few greenies (if you can afford it) to help with the teeth.
Avatar m tn We moved to a new house about a month ago and 1 out of our 4 cats refuses to used the litter box. She rather do her business on our couch. All of our cats are used to being outdoor/indoor cats, however where we moved to the wife doesn't want to let cats out since we are way out in the country now. I don't know if that has something to do with it or she just doesn't like her new house. She is only 2 years old. Need suggestions please!! Thank You!

Avatar f tn m very allergic to animals, especially cats. when I was between 15 and 23 (around there anyway) I used OTC allergy medication frequently as most if not all of my friends had cats and I was suffering badly seasonally. By frequently i mean almost daily for up to a month at a time in the spring and summer. I remember vividly (as i was at my cousins wedding outside) I took some medication and apparantly forgot I took it and double dosed.
Avatar f tn I have som anitbiotics (azithromycin) and I was just wondering can you use its for BV????
Avatar f tn took the baby to the vet on saturday she put her & her mama(she has it also)on metronidazole suspension. vet told me that if they didnt improve by mon. to call back & try 2 get a stool sample. well its monday & there was no change so i took both cats in today and she put them on belladonna tablets. the stool sample came back ok. so now its a waiting game. thank you so much to everyone with comments they sure do help out alot.
Avatar f tn Uh, if you have the typical fungal infection in that area, ringworm, you use a cream. It's much less stressful on your system with fewer systemic side effects to use it that way. Taking it orally is much stronger, but has a lot of side effects, and this way it goes directly where your problem is. Make sure you use it as long as recommended, and don't be surprised if it comes back, as this treatment often doesn't get all the eggs. Good luck with it.
Avatar f tn Yea.. just speak to your doctor tomorrow and ask can you have fluconazole unit dose it's a one time use tablet to treat yeast... Aka fungal infections...
