Patti,
I've got to say, I'm very pleased you decided to start talking again.
Thank you so much for the holistic tips. I hate medicating with
traditional medicine, the stuff is usually so toxic. I'm a good nurse,
but a very reluctant one. Up until I found myself facing FeLV, I
hadn't had to
Nina,
Thanks. I have been thru so much in the past year, w/
problems w/ my health etc. and although I kept "lurking" I was reluctant to
start actively posting. (Due to my health related problems I'd withdrawn
from "the world".)
But I finally decided that maybe something I could
pass on
Patti,
I don't why it should be, but the most caring and spiritual people seem
to be the most afflicted physically. Perhaps it has to do with taking
on the woes of the world that others don't even acknowledge. Somehow
all the hardship gets internalized, we have to figure out a way to
better
Nina,
Yes, my Dr. has described a major part of my
"problems" due to Post-Traumatic Stress... I call it burn out. All the
years of working in rescue has caught up w/ me and it's really taken a
toll.
And it's sad, I thought I could go on
forever.
But have had to stop being right in
place like that exists on this plane, I hope the promise of
that reward is truly waiting for us when we cross.
Do you think we should change the subject line? We seemed to have
ventured away from Metronidazole!

We too have used the compounding method w/
flavoring.
If it's being used just to control IBD, my holistic
vet prescribed a homeopthic remedy, Arsenicum Album 30X. They are tiny tablets
that dissolve very easy when food. I have great success using it when my old man
has flare ups.
Thank you Patti,
I'm always looking for alternatives that might help Gypsy. I told my
vet about Penicillin G instead of the Flagil, she thought it was a good
idea and prescribed it. Now I'm a bit sorry because it means
injections for 14 days straight. I'll ask her about the Arsenicum
Album.
Nina,
I too am always looking at
alternatives...
Have come across some that have really been helpful.
Like Felix, I NEVER thought we'd be able to control his IBD. And although he's
not a positive, he's 19 and so frail. The tablets work like a charm and he
doesn't even realize he's being
Does anyone have any good tricks for getting very nasty tasting
Metronidazole into a fractious cat twice daily?
Thanks, Deanne
With a pill popper and good aim - so they can't taste it. I once had to
give Metronidazole to a litter of half-grown kittens who were probably
born with some intestinal ailment. There was lots of unhappy foaming
running around.

Deanne,
You can have the Metronidazole compounded into a liquid with flavoring
added. There is also another form of Metronidazole that's not so nasty
tasting, but I can't remember the name. I think it begins with a 'B'
bens... bensa... Your vet should know what it is. My compound pharmacy
Pill Poppers work wonders.get one from the vet..the longest you can
get..stick the pill in it..and stick it WAY WAY back in the throatfar enough

I have had to pill at least two of my cats (who have gone to the
Bridge now) long term with Metronidazole. It will cause foaming given
by itself and the cat will NEVER trust you again. :) I get empty gel
caps at Walmart. I believe they are the #1 size. Usually a cat gets
1/4 to 1
Belinda,
Metronidazole in a transdermal gel would be a lifesaver in this house!
My poor Gypsy can't be pilled and all the other remedies I've tried so
far have failed. Please, could you send me the your compounding
pharmacy's address and phone number and the prescription information?
I'm
Nina,
Here is a list of Compounding Pharmacies, find the one closest to
where you aer located and have your vet call in the perscription. I
would also buy some Epi-Otic made by Virbac from your vet, it comes in a
squirt bottle (ear cleaner as the metro builds up and needs to be
cleaned off
Thank you for the info Belinda, I'll ask the vet about the Epi-Otic. I
called a compound pharmacy I've used for Peroxicam liquid and they,
along with the Metronidazole in transdermal (3 strengths available, 10,
20, and 25mg/0.1ml), also have Metronidazole-Benzoate liquid in any
strength
