Re: [Felvtalk] UTI Question
In-house tests results are limited, and I would do the more sophisticated one that is sent to the lab. However, before getting that urinalysis back with results, I would not sign up for an X-ray before it is determined that one is absolutely required! Yes, this vet does seem to do it for the money! My vet always does one step at a time, and based on the last step, if needed, proceeds to the next. Many vets like to do ALL of them at one time! -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Cindy McHugh Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2011 11:24 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: [Felvtalk] UTI Question This is a little off topic, but please forgive me. My email is acting up and I've been unsubbed from my more "general" cat discussion list. I'm fostering a neutered male cat that is urinating outside of the litterbox. This was one of the reasons he was relinquished several months ago - and one of the reasons his former owner kept him in a basement for 3 years. He seemed to be doing well here and was overcoming some of his other issues (aggression and obsessive licking/chewing), but he urinated on my bed about 2 months ago and then on an upholstered chair. I was fostering 2 dogs at the time and attributed it to stress over the dogs. They were adopted and all was well until a couple days ago. He's urinated on a chair and on the bare floor 3 times in the past 2 days. There's large amounts of urnie, no trace of blood, and he does also use his litterbox. I don't think he has a UTI based on his past behavior, but I thought I'd run him to the vet to be sure. I'm not at home, so I used a clinic that is relatively new to me and I was surprised by what I was told, so I thought I'd run it by you folks... In the past, when I've suspected a UTI in a dog or cat, I simply took a urine sample (dog) or took the cat and they obtained one, checked it, and gave me an answer and antibiotic if needed. The vet today told me they could do an "in house" check, but it wouldn't really give us much information and I advised I send it away for a culture.

The other reason I say this is because we just spent more than $100 on flea products recommended by another vet in this office. When I mentioned today that the Frontline doesn't seem to be helping the flea situation, the vet and tech both said they've had many, many complaints about Frontline this summer and agreed that it's ineffective (in this area, anyway).

(I didn't have the vet records with me at the time.) If he needs the culture and x-rays, I'll have it done. But I don't want to spend the rescue's very limited funds needlessly.

Re: [Felvtalk] DMG
The hanging out tongue must be something other than missing teeth. We have quite a few cats with no teeth, and their tongues don't hang out the side of their mouths, if anything, the tips of the tongue might stick out in front - and looks adorable. We have some real oldtimers here - started out feral and are mushes now.

Re: [Felvtalk] UTI Question
My first thought was, how many litter boxes does he have access to? When I had one cat, he urinated on my bed too (thank goodness I buy the waterproof mattress pad) and that was his way of telling me he wanted another. This is what my vet advised me. He got another box and he has been fine ever since. Now I have another kitty, therefore, I got another litter box. My vet said the rule is one litter box for every cat, plus one! My cat was an exception at the time he was an only cat. Also, every two weeks, I empty all the litter boxes, disinfect them with liquid lysol, dry them thoroughly and fill them again with litter. This has helped as well. It's work, but it's better than cat urine on carpets, beds, sofas, etc. I hope nothing is medically wrong with him.

I recently got a bad cat bite and used large dog size Clavamox. It is the exact same thing as human Augmentin, which is the antibiotic recommended for cat bites. My arm was all swollen up after the bite but the Clavamox worked great and I saved money on a doctor bill and the Augmentin. The last time I was bitten it cost me $95. for the doctor and $45. for the Augmentin. Animal and vet meds are usually the same, but have different names, so the trick is knowing which is which, what works, and how much to take for how long.

Amoxi can be bought in the US without a prescription. Buy Fish Mox. This is the same amoxicillin as any other, it is just packaged for fish and requires no script. It comes in 250 mg or 500 mg capsules. The dose for cats is 5 to 10 mg per pound once or twice a day. I usually open the capsules and mix 2.5 ml of water for each 250 mg capsule, so each .5 ml of the mix is a 50 mg dose for average cat. You might want to mix it with 5 ml of water per 250 mg capsule so it would be easier to draw up the right dose for a small kitten. Once mixed, it must be refrigerated and will last about 10 days. Be sure to shake well before every dose as it separates very quickly. If you need more punch than that, you can get clavamox pills and zithromax capsules from overseas with no script.

Re: [Felvtalk] Dexter and Cali are together now
Any local pharmacy. Until last year, one could buy it even more cheaply at places like Costco or Sam's Club pharmacies in Mexico - but I have a feeling that US big pharma had something to do with the law that one cannot purchase antibiotics without a prescription anymore probably because they found that too many US visitors were getting it cheaply there. Locals can still get it without prescription because a pharmacist is like a doctor to them. So, we just go to a small pharmacy and ask for it. A bottle of the powder that makes 5 small ones that we get at the vet, used to cost about $10, but at local little places it could be as much as $15 (still a bargain!). Did you know that veterinarians can often get it for as little as $1.50? There's a huge markup on the drugs they sell to their customers. One of our vets charges us (with a discount) as much as $30 (my vet $18), so I can imagine the huge range of prices all over the country - I guess they do what the market and geographical area according to cost of living can bear!

Re: [Felvtalk] Dexter and Cali are together now
Winn Foundation is legit and does a lot of good, I know they give grants for FIP research, but I think they do grants for other cat health issues as well. If you go to their home page and click on "Grants" you can see listings for what they have funded. Each year they put out a list of what projects they have funded. I didn't see anything for FeLV in 2010, but there was one grant for improving lymphoma treatment. My vet made a contribution in honor of my kitten when she died of FIP. Beth N.

Re: [Felvtalk] Amoxi
HERE IS THE INFORMATION YOU NEED ABOUT ORDERING PET MEDS ON LINE WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION. Three websites are listed below - None require presciptions www.petshed.com -- Advantage, revolution, Profender (new topical dewormer) www.revivalanimal.com -- vaccines, Drontal dewormer www.1drugstore-online.com -- antibiotics, antiprotozoal, assorted other meds All great prices and very reliable. 1drugstore-online is based in Thailand and petshed.com is in Australia so usually with the first order your bank will want to verify that it is not a fraudalent charge so don't be surprised to get a call from your bank with your first overseas purchase. Amoxi can be bought in the US without a prescription. Buy Fish Mox. This is the same amoxicillin as any other, it is just packaged for fish and requires no script. It comes in 250 mg or 500 mg capsules. The dose for cats is 5 to 10 mg per pound once or twice a day. I usually open the capsules and mix 2.5 ml of water for each 250 mg capsule, so each .5 ml of the mix is a 50 mg dose for average cat. You might want to mix it with 5 ml of water per 250 mg capsule so it would be easier to draw up the right dose for a small kitten. Once mixed, it must be refrigerated and will last about 10 days. Be sure to shake well before every dose as it separates very quickly. If you need more punch than that, you can get clavamox pills and zithromax capsules from overseas with no script. Be sure you know what to buy and what dosage to use before giving any meds. > On 07-06, katskat1 wrote: Where please and how do you purchase > Amoxicillin in Mexico?

Re: [Felvtalk] Dexter and Cali are together now
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. From everything I read, it's the same stuff that's prescribed by doctors and vets. Oddly enough, if my pets are sick, I won't take a chance and I take them to the vet, but for myself, I'm willing to compromise a bit.
