Seems to me when I've had to give Drontal it was given 2 weeks apart twice after the initial dose, so first dose, 2 weeks later second dose and then 2 weeks later final dose. I think it was given for both round worm and tape worm. It's been awhile but that's what I remember. -- Belinda

Jane, This is just my personal opinion, but I would stop the Drontal, at least until you can talk to your vet. The fact that she was improving and that it is highly suspect that the Drontal put her off her food and (may have stressed her enough to bring back the runny eye symptom), makes me

I agree with Nina too. You might start researching Drontal + cats on the web and see what you come up with. It might be an overdose as said. Stopping the Drontal is probably a good idea. Does anyone know if Jane can give Metamucil over the weekend to help with the dairrhea from the giardia or

Most positive cats may require a little more time to get over any illness that a non positive cat needs. Giving the doxy for an extra week or two is better than having to start all over not to mention that Tomi is going to feel like crap that much longer. I just went through this with

Hey Cassandra. What Tomi's going through sounds very similar to what Slinky went through (though his numbers were MUCH lower and his transfusion really didn't help him any). I would probably keep him on the doxy...I don't think that would hurt. Re: Epogen (Erythropoetin)...I don't

Two points isn't really a big deal during treatment (17 is low, but not dangerously low), especially since you stopped the pred right before that test. Most hemobart cases DO respond, sometimes it just takes a month or so to see the number go up. Have patience and faith (and it wouldn't hurt to
