Re: [Felvtalk] Vet meds
Cindy, FishMox is NOT the same as Clavamox, FishMox is the same as Amoxicillin. Clavamox is a mixture of amoxicillin and clavauntic(sp) acid which enhances the amoxicillin. FishMox is fine to use, just make sure you know how to dose it for cats, it comes in 250 mg or 500 mg capsules. Dosage for cats is 5-10 mg per pound once or twice a day. Clavamox is available from overseas without a script, but tends to be a bit expensive. The human form of clavamox is called Augmentin and has the same ingredients, but you have to be careful with dosages for cats as they way ingredients are listed tends to be confusing. Tablets of the same dosage vets give use to be sold overseas, but as far as I know, it has been discontinued by every place I know. Doxycycline is and excellent antibiotic and is the antibiotic of choice for many things in the Cornell University Shelter Medicine program. You can buy it without a script as Bird Biotic in 100 mg capsules. dosage for cats is max 4 mg per pound once a day. Both FishMox (amoxicillin) and Bird Biotic (doxycycline) must be mixed with a liquid for proper dosing. Additionally, doxycycline should never be given to a cat in any dry form as it can cause damage in the esophagus. You can use a lot of different liquids to mix these with, but I use 1/3 water and then add 2/3 lite kayro syrup, It helps kill the taste and doesn't go bad. Amoxicillin must be refrigerated after mixing and lasts 10 to 14 days, but it can be frozen for long periods. Doxycycline need not be refrigerated (unless the liquid you use needs refrigeration) and should be discarded after 30 days. Here are a couple of links http://www.1drugstore-online.com and http://www.supersavermeds.com/ If anyone is interested in Zithromax, I get it from a contact in Thailand much cheaper than here. Email me off list and I will put you in contact with him. Please, everyone be sure to know the proper dose for cats for any med you are giving and how to get that dose from the product you have.

Gary All of these meds can be purchased online from revival, valley vet, lambriar vet supply, or Thomas labs themselves who market these to all these outlets. Revival animal health has the best selection of different antibiotics and they send a sheet along that tells how to dilute, store, and administer each antibiotic. Or The Plumb Veterinary Drug Handbook is an awesome book to have around and supplies everything we need to know about dosages for all sorts of animals and also drug interactions. Revival sells 16 oz bottles of sorbital syrup to use as a carrier, but I must say that I like your water and Karo syrup idea(-: Clavamox is just one of those that I don't think we'll ever see labeled for fish or birds unfortunately!

Re: [Felvtalk] Vet meds
Question: Is the Fishmox sold in the same form as Amoxi, pink powder, which is really a pediatric formula, packaged for veterinary usethat's why it tastes as it does because it was never reformulated to appeal to an animal's taste. When I get Amoxi in Mexico, the flavor is slightly different, more palatable for cats, however, the Clavamox is more acidic and pineapple flavor than the one here. -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Marcia Baronda Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2011 9:51 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Vet meds Gary All of these meds can be purchased online from revival, valley vet, lambriar vet supply, or Thomas labs themselves who market these to all these outlets.

Re: [Felvtalk] Vet meds
Natalie No, the fish mox is sold in capsule form in 250 mg per cap or 500 mg. You can dilute with water or the recipe Gary has. There is also the sorbitol syrup. If you mix with water than you have to make sure that you shake it very well and even pull back on your syringe a little and shake it in the syringe immediately before you administer it or the powder will be left behind in your syringe. Not all of it but a little. It is 50 mg every 12 hrs for cats. 25mg for teeny kittens. Sent from my iPad that my most awesome kids surprised me with, Christmas 2010.

Re: [Felvtalk] Vet meds
Thank you - good information if I run out of the Amoxi that I get in Mexico - we're going in November, and I always stock up. A bottle that makes 5 small ones that one gets from the vet, costs about $12...a little bit more from small local pharmacies, but no need for a prescription. The large outlets with pharmacies like Costco or Sam's Club required prescriptions since last year - and I bet it's a deal with Mexico so that tourists wouldn't buy meds there and spend a lot of in US to fill big Phrma coffers instead. -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Marcia Baronda Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2011 12:20 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Vet meds Natalie No, the fish mox is sold in capsule form in 250 mg per cap or 500 mg.

Re: [Felvtalk] Vet meds
Thanks Cindy... I forgot all about FishMox. I ordered some years ago, and need to get a fresh supply. As for Acarexx.. A friend gave me the recipe for this. She rescues wildlife as well as dogs and cats. She buys Ivermectin injectable for cattle and swine. Then she uses two drops mixed with two drops of mineral oil in each ear. She says this works even better than Acarexx. A vet tech gave her this info. On 10-19, Cindy McHugh wrote: Lorrie, I'm late chiming in here.

Re: [Felvtalk] Vet meds
know where I can buy RX vet meds overseas without an RX? Some shelters or Humane Societies do sell to rescuers/small shelters for a lesser price w/o a prescription..of course it helps if they know you and what you do (as in my case, I buy abx like clav, Biomox(amoxi) from a nearby Humane Society, also I get Trifectant(desinfectant for cages) from them) Marta http://homelessnomore.webs.com/ --- On Wed, 10/19/11, Cindy McHugh ci...@furangels.org wrote: From: Cindy McHugh ci...@furangels.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Vet meds To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Date: Wednesday, October 19, 2011, 8:48 PM Lorrie, I'm late chiming in here.

Re: [Felvtalk] Vet meds
Lorrie, Clavamox and fish mox are the same, both contain amoxicillin, but clavamox contains an extra ingredient, clavulanate potassium. It actually works much better than amoxicillin. Not something that is available OTC like FishMox. If you go to revival animal health they have a whole slew of otc antibiotics by Thomas Labs. They are all human grade simply labeled for fish or birds or whatever(-: Good luck Marcia Sent from my iPad that my most awesome kids surprised me with, Christmas 2010.

Re: [Felvtalk] Vet meds
I always buy Amoxicillin and Clavamox in Mexico, although they require prescriptions now - but if you go to small local pharmacies, you can get them without a Rx. Very inexpensive. They have other meds, too, but that's what I need mostly. -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Lorrie Sent: Sunday, October 16, 2011 11:14 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: [Felvtalk] Vet meds Does anyone know where I can buy RX vet meds overseas without an RX?

Have you ordered recently? They seem to require an RX now, and so do all the other overseas pharmacies I used for years.
