Re: [Felvtalk] UTI Question

2011-07-07 Thread Natalie
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!

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. 
She also suggested they x-ray his abdomen to check for stones. This is not 
my cat, but it is in the care of a rescue I co-founded. We want to do what's

necessary to help the cat, but we don't have extra funds for 
tests/procedures that are not necessary.

If I had seen my regular vet (at home) and she suggested these procedures, I

wouldn't hesitate, but I get the feeling this vet is more interested in 
money. 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). The vet

said the fleas laugh at Frontline. They suggested I purchase another flea 
product (V-something, I didn't catch the name). They said it's the same 
price, but much more effective. This is the same place that swore by, and 
sold me, Frontline about a week ago.

They're holding the urine sample overnight because I wanted to see what 
tests the cat had by his prior owner. (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. Any input would be most 
welcome. The cat is NOT  FeLV+.

Thank you for your time.

Re: [Felvtalk] DMG

2011-07-07 Thread Natalie
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.
Life with bad teeth must be absolutely horrible and painful  I am always
surprised how toothless cats just love dry food!

Re: [Felvtalk] UTI Question

2011-07-07 Thread Lynda Wilson
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. Good luck, and keep us posted :)

I can identify with that Cindy.  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.

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.

We get interferon through vetcentric.com.  It's cheap - about $15 for a bottle, 
but the cold pack overnight shipping brings it up to about $60.  I've got two 
bottles if anyone needs any...

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!

2011-07-07 Thread Beth Noren
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.

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.

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.

Do you know if the Interferon is available in Canada or Mexico?
The FDA is a real joke. My husband retired from Pfizer International

big pharmas end up working at the FDA, and often the reverse is true to -
very handy for them!
All the antibiotics like Amoxicillin and Clavamox are pediatric oral
suspension formulas, merely packaged for veterinary us - that's why they 
are

ridiculously flavored with strawberry or pineapple type yuck that cats'
certainly don't like, but are made to tolerate.I purchase those for a
fraction of a cost in Mexico - vets charge us a fortune for the same 
thing,

even though we get 50% discount.

You know, I've thought a lot about things that could make a difference 
and

the most important thing that could change right now is the lack of
availability of Virbagen Interferon Omega in the United States.  Why in 
the

world does it make any sense for the FDA to require millions of dollars
worth of peer reviewed studies to be undertaken for US approval on a drug
that has been effectively saving cat's lives for almost a decade 
everywhere

else in the world and has been used in hundreds of foreign studies.
Interferon Omega would have probably saved Dexter's life, plain and 
simple.
However, I can't get a drug for him (that has absolutely no abuse 
potential

in humans, by the way) unless I go through a 2 month process with the DEA
and FDA that will only result in a guarantee that any overnight package 
from

Europe that contains the medication that I've been given permission to
import, will be seized and held for months, only to lose its 
refrigeration
and spoil.  This is, of course, after I've spent about $1200 for the 
honor.



So, I suggest that we all start calling and writing our congress-people 
and

senators and demanding an immediate provisional approval be given for
Virbagen Interferon Omega to be sold in the US.  Heck, it's practically a
cure for FiP as well!
