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.

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
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.

<> 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 wrote: From: Cindy McHugh Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Vet meds To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Date: Wednesday, October 19, 2011, 8:48 PM Lorrie, I'm late chiming in here.

Great tip. Thanks! Cindy - Original Message - From: "Lorrie" To: Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2011 5:06 PM Subject: 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.

Re: [Felvtalk] Vet meds
Lorrie, I'm late chiming in here. I can't help you with Acarexx, but look into FishMox for the clavamox. It can be ordered without a prescription and from what I was told, it's the same as clavamox. I even ordered it for myself once when I had an infected tooth.

What are you trying to order? I just did a test order for zithromax at http://www.1drugstore-online.com/ and no prescription required.

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?
