He was 9 lbs at the vets a few days ago, it may be a few ounces
higher but right in that ball park. They're scales aren't that
reliable, each scale will give you a different weight so I will weigh
him on mine, I have something that is my test object and always weights
the same so I know mine is accurate. So that would be a minumum of
45mgs, wonder if I divided into 1/4 = 62.5 would be too strong? When he
was getting clavamox he got 62.5mg twice a day. He is sleeping right
now but I'll get his weight later today.
My thinking is when he was on the clavamox it cleared the infection up
but they only had him on a 3 week course, so as soon as the clavamox was
done within a week or so the infection came raging back. He is
currently taking clindamycin until we see just what the culture says.
If he goes back on the clavamox, when we run out per what the the vet
prescribes, *I want to continue it for another month or so to make sure
the infection is really gone!! *Will this cause any problems that
anyone is aware of.
I don't think they realize he is older with health issues and needs a
longer course of antibiotics to get over things, course if they did they
wouldn't have gotten that extra now 800.00 out of me, guess someone has
to pay for that new building!!
I do have a friend who has many special needs and sick cats and she has
a few that have been on a low dose of antibiotics for a long, long time,
it hasn't seemed to affect them adversely and when they don't get the
antibiotics (I mean the fish mox) they don't eat and obviously don't
feel well.
