Is there any Antibiotic Coco will not throw up?

kittymonsters · Jul 3, 2008

The blindness is associated with Baytril injections in cats. For some reason it has not been show to be associated with pills.

I am not familiar with the taste tabs, but if Coco will eat them, and then maybe a little food hopefully she will tolerate them. I am always big on making them eat with their meds. That way if they vomit it back up they are less likely to burn their esophagus.

Baytril is an excellent broad spectrum antibiotic. The key is if Coco will keep it down. You can only try and see how she does.

I tried it without the pill pocket and she spit it out so I put it in the pocket and she ate it. I gave to her at 8 and its 10:30 now. I sure hope it stays down. The Vet dosent want her to get Antibiotic Shots.

My cats have had Baytril/Orbax before with no bad effects.

Raven

went blind eventually, but it was the cancer not Orbax when he was younger. The cancer had spread everywhere.

Yes, some vets are like that and I'm sure they have very good reasons for that. So I hope you'll have good luck with the pills Coco is taking now. Maybe this is it, your vet has found something Coco can tolerate.

I'd just like to add that with one of our cats the situation was that she refused to eat when she had oral antibiotics and we couldn't experiment with a lot of different meds because we had to make sure she wouldn't vomit.
With the other cat vomiting was also the issue, and it was so bad that even the meds that were designed to soothe the stomach came back up. So again injectable meds were the only choice.

I do hope you'll never be in situations like these and your vet's latest choice of medication will work very well for Coco.

Bijou just had surgery yesterday and he has to take Clavamox for 12 days - I adore whomever invented pill pockets. I cut each pill into quarters, halve 2 pill pockets, wrap the quarters in 1/2 a pill pocket each and Bijou eats them like treats.

Sure beats trying to stuff pills down their throats.

I hope your baby feels better soon.

that Coco is keeping her pill down. With Much, our vet came to the conclusion that we have to inject all of her antibiotics. She would throw up 10 to 20 minutes after ingesting the pill or immediately when ingesting liquids. The medications were hard on her digestive system. However, we discussed the risks with the vet before doing it. But she was getting so many UTIs which were a greater risk to her at the time.

Coco took Orbax once before and it didnt bother her. I gave her the Baytril in a pill pocket last night and it stayed down. Lets up it stays that way. The reason Coco can not have the shots is if there is a reaction she can get very sick. she is so Allergic to stuff and has the Asthma. She loves the pill pockets and begs for more.

The Vet gave her Baytril Taste Tabs.

I was just reading up on the Baytril Taste Tabs and found this under Dosage and Administration. I wonder what you make of it.
Link:
http://www.catnmore.com/Meds/BaytrilTab.pdf

From page 9 (starting with the last line on page 8)

Most dogs will consume BaytrilÂ[emoji]174[/emoji] Taste TabsÂ[emoji]174[/emoji] Tablets willingly when offered by hand. Alternatively the tablet(s) may be offered in food or hand-administered (pilled) as with other oral tablet medications. In cats, BaytrilÂ[emoji]174[/emoji] Taste TabsÂ[emoji]174[/emoji] Tablets should be pilled.

On page 8 there is also some information about retinal toxicity.

Thanks,
I read It.
on the bottle it says 22.7 MG(500)
Do you know what that is?
She gets half a pill a day.

twokatz · Jul 4, 2008

I have used Baytril but with caution, my vet stays with the lowest dose to keep it safe and not for long periods but I have been told Baytril injections are a problem. Clavamox is one med I will not use and my Vet agrees as there are a lot of side effects with it. How about Zenaquin (sp?). I had a cat that could not tolerate any meds but she was able to take that, she was on it for twokatza whole month. Good luck.

mews2much · Jul 4, 2008

They didnt mention it.
The Clavamox and Cefa Drops made her sick.
The Orbax she had once and was ok with it.

22.7 MG(500)? Not sure, I would think 500 tablets/bottle. (They have code numbers, tablet sizes and tablet counts - tablets/bottle, so that may be it.)

I'm curious, would you happen to know, do pill pockets count as food? I'm trying to find that out but not getting anywhere.

I treat them as I would "treats". On the pouch they are called "cat treats". There is also a statement that says if you have questions about them you can call a 1-800 number or go online to www.greenies.com. I very much doubt they would be considered as food, besides one wouldn't be giving them enough to consider them food anyway IMO.

btw - i sent you a PM, but you didn't answer - why did Bijou need surgery? [i also looked for a thread about it, but didn't find one...]

mews2much · Jul 4, 2008

The pill pocket is a Treat and she just gets one.

violet · Jul 5, 2008

Sounds like a great solution then.

(The last time we had to try Baytril it was once again a total disaster, we had to stop after the first day, so Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m planning to ask my vet about the Taste Tabs and pill pockets.)

mews2much · Jul 5, 2008

The Pills are Beef Flavored and she spit them out with out the pill pocket. the Pill Pockets are Chicken Flavored and she loves the taste. Last night I heard a loud noise. Coco was trying to get in the bag of pill pockets and she knocked both my Laptops on the floor. What did your Cat have Baytril for? I wish I had new about pill pockets before because I do no even have to chase her to give her the pill.

violet · Jul 5, 2008

Oh you should see me laughing. Coco trying to get in the bag is just too funny. (I hope your laptops are okay.)

My cat had some blood in her urine (nothing we could see with the naked eye) and some bacteria. We would have never known if she hadnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t had her checkup and with that a routine urinalysis. There was no raging UTI, no symptoms at all. When we talked about where in the world this problem could be coming from my vet mentioned the possibility of upward migration of bacteria. Actually that would be the only explanation. There is no crisis, no emergency, but she wants to deal with it anyway. So weâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]re working on it.

mews2much · Jul 5, 2008

How old is your Cat? The Laptops are ok. I am on my Mac now and it is working fine. I think the Sony is ok also. Your Vet is right it a Cat can get infected that way. Coco had Ecoli and a Staph infection 2 years ago. They saw Crystals in her Urine this time. We called the Vet today to let her know she hasnt thrown up so far this time. we have enough Baytril until Tues. They gave us a few pills to try.

Is there any Antibiotic Coco will not throw up?
