Re: [Felvtalk] New Baby

[Rachel Dagner]

She sounds beautiful! I have one in my neighborhood that sounds just like her, 
pure white, with one green and one blue eye. Both the most beautiful colors you 
can imagine. I hope you get her soon.

Re: [Felvtalk] New Baby

[Amani Oakley]

I don’t know Rachel. The shelter that has her is a couple of hours from me, and 
they are still trying to arrange transportation. They did send photos though, 
and she is a pure white beauty with green AND blue eyes. I am anxious to have 
her join my troupe.

Amani when are you getting your cancer kitty? I am so sad we can't do pictures 
here. I want to see everyone and their babies!

They don’t KILL viruses, but instead, help to block their replication.

Actually, you're both right. Doxy is an antibiotic, but also has properties 
that prevent replication of the virus that cause dengue fever, and is being 
used in some trials for HIV.

So, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and now possibly anti-viral. You might 
find this interesting;

I've used the "fish drugs" in a pinch, but they need to be made into a liquid 
to get correct distribution and dosage, and I do better with pills/capsules. 
Plus, I don't quite trust them . Just  my paranoia, I know people who have used 
them successfully many times.

HTH,

Doxycycline ia an antibiotic for bacterial infections, not for viral 
infections.  It works by interferring with the normal growth cycle of the 
bacteria preventing them from  reproducing and allowing the body to fight off 
the infection.  It is used against mycoplasma including mycoplasma haemofelis, 
whcih is a blood parasite that causes anemia and death in cats   I have had a 
couple of cats die from it and a couple that I have saved.   This disease is 
transmitted by fleas so it is important to use flea products on our cats.  Doxy 
should be given with food or on a full stomach to reduce chance of vomiting.  
It is suggested that you give a syringe of water after pilling because it is 
possible for the tablets to become stuck in the esophagus which can cause 
irritaftion or scarring and can make it difficult for your cat to swallow.  I 
crush it and mix it with water and syringe it.

In the book "Secrets of a vet tech-the guide to low cost pet care when the 
cupboard is bare" by J C Farris, she tells that you can use fish meds on cats 
and purchase them on line or in some pet stores without a script  This includes 
doxy (fish doxy), amoxicillan (fish mox), metronidazole (fish zole), 
clindamycin (fish cin), cephalexen (fish flex), ciprofloxacin (fish flox) and 
others.  This is the same exact medication for dogs and cats.  She has alot of 
other great ideas in this book. Dosages for these medications for cats can be 
found on line.

I just had my 5 yr old positive, Tootsie, stop eating and drinking.  She had 
vomited for a couple of days before.  She had no fever and no symptoms of upper 
respiratory so I didn't want to start antibiotics. I tried everytlhing to get 
her to eat.  Then I remembered pepcid ac was prescribed by a vet years ago for 
another cat (not a positive) with the same symptoms, so I tried it on Tootsie.  
Four days later she is looking for food and eating everything I give her.  This 
is also used for kidney cats that loose their appetite.

Now I am going to try pepcid ac on my older positive cat, Finn, who is 
recovering from a seizure and temporary blindness.  She is not eating well and 
I remember before she had her seizure she had vomited for a couple of days and 
was already not eating well. I will let you know if it works.
