My mother was a nurse and a sales rep once told her that it is te same, they just put different labels on the bottles. The only tme I went to the dr for a cat bite was ehn Moses, a neighbor's cat came courting my girls who have been spayed. He thought my Harley was moving in on his territory and leaped at him. Of course, I grabbed Harley to save him and I got bit on the back of my hand. Don't think I had to worry about infection, blood was spurtijng all over the place. I let it bleed out a bit, rinsed with peroxide, put a pressue bandage on it and went to the ER. Of course, I had to find Moses and be sure he was okay, but everything turned out well. All they did at the ER was tell me I did a good job of bandaging it, gave me a couple of antibiotic pills and sent me home. Next time, I will go back to peroxide, vitamin E oil and lavendar and save myself the cost of and ER visit and an all night stand in their waiting room. ---- Lorrie <[email protected]> wrote: > On 07-07, Cindy McHugh wrote: > > Hi Kat, > > > > I don't know about buying it in Mexico, but when I had an infected tooth > > recently, I did some research and ordered Fish Mox online.
