Re: [Felvtalk] Famciclovir Re: Coco update

2015-10-03 Thread Amani Oakley 
Antibiotics do help for some URI’s and generally speaking, even if the original 
URI is viral in origin, a secondary infection will often set it and that will 
be bacterial. I don’t think Convenia is the be-all or end-all, but I find it is 
more a prophylactic back-up while you are treating other conditions. Moreover, 
as you have pointed out, it avoids yet another item which has to be orally 
administered, when you are having to give other medications and/or feeding by 
syringe, etc.

Ask your Vet to call in a prescription for famciclovir. Antibiotics won't do 
much for a URI, but an anti-viral may be of help. I keep this on hand 
specifically for my + boys, and it's worked well. It's not cheap, but it can be 
a lifesaver.

Hoping for the best. if she's eating the a/d, that's much denser and higher 
calorie than baby food, but whatever you can get into her is a plus. I've used 
rotisserie and KFC chicken, deli roast beef, ham, shrimp, sardines, and anthing 
else that works. We're not looking for balanced nutrition, we just want 
"calories in".

All the best

If you are brand new, as in the last few days, then you will not have read my 
previous posts about Winstrol. Winstrol is an anabolic steroid which I have had 
great success with, and it will help with things like the lethargy and the lack 
of appetite.

Winstrol apparently used to be used rather frequently years ago, until 
suggestions of liver damage emerged. However, my research shows that any effect 
on the liver is usually transient with liver enzymes rising. But once the 
Winstrol is tapered off, the liver enzymes go back to normal and there is no 
evidence of lasting damage.

Winstrol is rarely used now, and many vets may not be familiar with it. I 
believe it must usually be obtained from a compounding pharmacy by your vet.

I will not go into all the detail of what my experience was with Winstrol, but 
I have found it to be extremely effective for cats with leukemia, as well as 
many other conditions in cats.

Amy, I'm with you, but done is done.

My biggest issue with long lasting drugs like this is that you can't take it 
back. If there's an adverse reaction, you're stuck with it, and the 
consequences. I will only use those if the critter has shown no problems with 
the drug before (kind of impossible with Convenia, as it doesn't come in 
another form, but I'd certainly try a short term cephalosporin first) or is 
feral and cannot be medicated.

Some Vets seem to be quite enamoured with Convenia, and give it without asking, 
for very inappropriate reasons. I have NO CONVENIA on all my charts. Doesn't 
mean I won't allow it ever, but this makes them talk to me first...

an off label use. I have seen it work for both but I also feel, like most vets,

oral meds are stronger and in a cat where a URI can be fatal, I'd always go

[Felvtalk] Famciclovir Re: Coco update

2015-10-03 Thread Margo 
Ask your Vet to call in a prescription for famciclovir. Antibiotics won't do much for a URI, but an anti-viral may be of help. I keep this on hand specifically for my + boys, and it's worked well. It's not cheap, but it can be a lifesaver.Hoping for the best. if she's eating the a/d, that's much denser and higher calorie than baby food, but whatever you can get into her is a plus. I've used rotisserie and KFC chicken, deli roast beef, ham, shrimp, sardines, and anthing else that works. We're not looking for balanced nutrition, we just want "calories in".All the bestMargo-Original Message-

 on their chests (yes – it’s messy on their fur, but the smell opens up their nasal passages very well, just like it does with kids). I would urge you not to wait on the Winstrol. This will help build up her strength and appetite, and will start working on
 the anemia very quickly. She is experiencing all these problems (URI and diarrhea) because she is run down and can not fight off infections, etc.) Ask your vet if he can give a long lasting antibiotic shot like Convenia, so you don’t need to be giving even
 more orally. Also, I would use pureed baby food – chicken and beef. You can get this into her using a plastic syringe, or she may like it as most of my cats have always liked the taste and take it easily on their own, even if I have to start using syringes.
 It is easy to digest, full of protein, and a good consistency to syringe if necessary. But I can’t stress enough that you shouldn’t wait on the Winstrol.

My roommate was nice enough to sleep in the bathroom with her.  She woke me and told me we needed to take her to the vet.   She has URI.  She did not have nasal involvement yesterday but today she did.  She did eat 3/4 of a can of AD. 
 The vet is very concerned.  He did say he felt she was better off with us than in the hospital there as there is no one there at night. But he is very concerned.
