Re: [Felvtalk] Pet meds for humans
Tee Hee... I will pretend I didn't get these emails. I will also pretend I have never done that kind of thing myself. What else can you do when the Government/FDA works so hard to protect ourselves from ourselves?

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.

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.

Re: [Felvtalk] Pet meds for humans
My mother was a nurse and a sales rep once told her that it is te same, they just put different labels on the bottles. The only tme I went to the dr for a cat bite was ehn Moses, a neighbor's cat came courting my girls who have been spayed. He thought my Harley was moving in on his territory and leaped at him. Of course, I grabbed Harley to save him and I got bit on the back of my hand. Don't think I had to worry about infection, blood was spurtijng all over the place. I let it bleed out a bit, rinsed with peroxide, put a pressue bandage on it and went to the ER. Of course, I had to find Moses and be sure he was okay, but everything turned out well. All they did at the ER was tell me I did a good job of bandaging it, gave me a couple of antibiotic pills and sent me home. Next time, I will go back to peroxide, vitamin E oil and lavendar and save myself the cost of and ER visit and an all night stand in their waiting room.
