I buy most basic meds through www.1drugstore-online.com (without a
prescription) and, if it is foul tasting like zithromax or metronidazole, do my
own compounding at home. Those two seem better suited to pancake syrup or
maple syrup than anything fishy. Fish flavoring would just make it worse
You know what mine hate? Panacur...and it just seems kind of neutral
tasting to me. Maybe a bit pasty.

Right now I am hoping and praying, probably without reason, that Lucy has
toxo rather than fip. So I have done A LOT of reading on toxo. Clindamycin
is the treatment of choice and it usually takes 3 weeks for significant
improvement, though some improvement should be seen
Lynette - please don't assume that your baby has FIP - ALL of FIP
symptoms can mimic lots of other illness which are treatable - the fact
that your kitty is 3.5 years old already decrease the possibility of
your kitty having FIP - all of my kitties who had FIP were less than two
years old or over
Toxoplasmosis is treatable with antibiotics. Clindamycin appears to be the
antibiotic of choice, at least initially.

Titers for toxo do not necessarily tell you if a cat has toxo, but there are
two that can help: IGM titer and IGG titer. Apparently the ratio between the
two can strongly indicate toxo. Regardless of whether you do these tests,
though, or their results I would start on clindamycin

They get it from feces by getting it on their paws in the litter box and

Good point. I wonder if a foster cat brought it in.
When did he start on clindamycin? any improvement?

Dear Belinda and Wendy,
Mylo was given fluids by the vet through a needle and through IV. As well, I
placed water in front of him until he drank and I shot water down his throat
with a syringe. Hydrating Mylo was one thing but there were so many other
diseases inside Mylo that he needed so

If he is doing so much better, I think it is likely that he has toxo and

clindamycin, and they are supposed to start feeling better
