Any information on Terramycin Ointment?

Midnight is being treated for an eye infection. I have 3 medicines to give him:
Terramycin Ointment. Viralys. Clavamox.

I did find a website that had side effects for Terramycin Ointment. It said that it may be fatal to cats. It also said this shouldn't be used with another eye medicine. Viralys is another eye cream. Should I be giving these meds to Midnight? The vet who prescribed these meds for him, wasn't his regular vet. She was on vacation. Should I talk to his regular vet first?

My father is trying to contact Midnight's vet right now.

That's what it said, when using another eye medication, or if the cat is allergic. The other med I was given is Viralys, and I couldn't find any side effects of that med at all.

The Viaralys they said was like a cream, but you put it on can food. The Clavamox is in liquid form. I just wish Midnight's regular vet saw him she's good she explains each med, she gives written instructions on how to give them. This 1 just told us what we had to do with each, didn't write it down, nothing for us to follow, so we're trying to get in touch with Midnight's regular vet. And we're still waiting to hear whether or not he as a UTI.

Ok hold on this vet didn't say anything about herpes? How would Midnight get that? Is that what he has?

Now you can see how confused we are because the vet went through the directions super fast, and didn't write anything down. She went through the explanations very fast to. I guess our regular vet will call us tomorrow. We tried to get in touch with her to late today.

Also Midnight is 4 months old, is he to young for UTI's? That's what the vet said. She's just treating him incase he does have 1. The tests haven't come back yet. She also x-rayed him for kidney problems, but his kidneys are fine.

My father just read what you wrote. He agrees we won't give Midnight Clavamox until we get the results of his UTI back.

Wow poor Bugsy!

Midnight drinks a ton of water. He'll drink all the water in the bowl in less than an hour. I fill the bowl to the top. He's done that a few times. He's always drinking. He'll even jump onto the table to get our glasses of water. Luna drinks water, but not like that. He does have a ton of energy. He's always in motion. Maybe that's what makes him thirsty?

Midnight pees a lot. He's always in the litter box peeing. We have a very hard time cleaning his pee. It's not like cleaning our other cats. You have to really dig in order to clean his pee. It like goes right to the bottom of the box.

Midnight will meow when he pees. Not a scream. But he does meow when he pees.

These are the things I told that vet on Saturday. That's why she tested for a UTI, even though she said 4 months old was to young.

The test results should be back tomorrow. She told us it would either be Monday or Tuesday.

This also made her think something was wrong with his kidneys, but the x-ray showed his kidneys, liver, and stomach are fine.

Midnight came from a farm. The cat mother tried to move the kittens, we think maybe the owners spooked her by touching the kittens. Only when she moved them something went wrong. All 4 of them got lost. Some how Midnight managed to get to my mother's friend's house which is a neighboring farm. She said she heard Midnight screaming in the a.m. hours. She said she got him inside, she looked for any other kittens but there were none. The original owners said they just woke up 1 day the kittens were gone, the mother cat was there.

My mother's friend knew we wanted a kitten to occupy Luna and keep her away from Lynxx. She knew we wanted one 8 weeks or older. She told us Midnight was either 5 or 6 weeks old. We took him not realizing how young he really was. Midnight was actually 3 weeks old. The original owners did come to their neighbors asking if any of the kittens were found. They wanted these kittens. But we already had him for about 3 weeks at this time. She did tell them that she found Midnight and gave him to us. They didn't fight her or us. They just said they were glad to know at least 1 of those kittens got to a good home.

We did bring Midnight to our vet the very next day because he had ear mites. That vet said he thought maybe Midnight was a little younger than 6 weeks. He checked Midnight over said Midnight was fine.

Now I don't know if that vet really did do the FIV and Leukemia test. We got away from that vet when he did nothing for Lynxx and when we read the reviews of him online.

What also happened to us on Saturday was the vet told us that Midnight was never tested for FIV and Leukemia. I told her he was. I was there when he was tested. That original vet showed us the device that tells them if he's positive or negative. My mother paid for that test. This vet showed us Midnight's records and there was no record of him ever having those tests. I described the device to this vet and she didn't know what I was talking about, and never seen a device like I described. We had her redue the FIV and Leukemia test. Midnight doesn't have either. We did have a hard time getting them to send over Midnight's records. They had no trouble sending over Lynxx and Luna's. Not only did we have to keep calling them, this hospital had to keep calling them as well.

We think a lot of Midnight's problems are he was away from his cat mother to earlier. If we had known he was only 3 weeks old, we would have done things differently. We'd have asked our vet to help us. Not that he'd have been much help considering he didn't help Lynxx.

I do believe my mother's friend knew he was only 3 weeks old. She works for a rescue group she's around cats all the time. But she was determined not to keep Midnight. She wanted Midnight to have a home by that night because she wasn't going to keep him, and she didn't want her little girl getting attached to him. I guess they already have to many cats as it is.

I don't know what stress Midnight could possibly have? Things have been stressful for me because of all that happened to Lynxx and then watching Lynxx die. I don't think that stressed Midnight out. Midnight and Lynxx weren't friends. Midnight annoyed Lynxx every chance he got. Except that last night. Midnight did do something odd. He did jump onto Lynxx's chair and lap his head/face. Then later, he kept touching noses with Lynxx. So maybe he knew. I think that was Midnight's way of saying goodbye. Luna did the exact same thing, but Luna has always done that to Lynxx.

Midnight does have a routine he does with my father every night. Every night when he was really little my father would play with him for 20 minutes before bed. Then my father began holding him for 20 minutes before bed. They did this every night until Lynxx got so bad off that all our attention was on him only.

The only new things in the house are the Christmas tree is now up in the living room, but Midnight "helped" us put it up and had a good time with us that night. He isn't afraid of it. He did try to eat it, but now he sleeps under it. We did get a new h.d. wall t.v. I know Midnight is facinated with that. But I don't think it's stressful to him, he actually watches it, if we put on anything with dinosaurs.

Midnight does hate going up to to the vet, he doesn't like the car ride much either. He has been going to the vet a lot, because they've been reapplying his soft paws for us. Unlike Luna, he lost all of his. Now they gave him a different size and they seem to fit him better.

Like I said there are no stressful events going on in his life. No new pets, no new cats (unless I find a certain cat I'm looking for). We have had people come in to fix the t.v.'s for us. He doesn't like strangers. But he and Luna are kept in their carriers, in my room, with me in there. So I know these people have no contact at all with my kittens. Midnight never saw them, just heard them talking. I don't know if that could upset him? This was right before he got sick.

I do have a neighbor who comes over to fix our computer, he tried to help us with the t.v.'s that neighbor is afraid of cats and doesn't like them. All cats are put away when he comes in. Lynxx was very aware of his fear/dislike of cats. I don't know if Luna and Midnight can sense that and get stressed because of it? They were in their carriers, he looked at them because we mentioned them. But he didn't do anything with or to them. He didn't even talk to them. He was here for a long time helping us. I don't know if that could affect Midnight? This was right before he got sick.

Midnight eats Purina One Kitten food, which is dry food. But Luna eats the same thing. Purina is what we've always gone with for cat food.

Midnight will go to the box and pee, sometimes there's so little that I know he went, but when my father goes to clean it, he can't find anything. I can hear him pee. His pee changes every time. Sometimes he barely goes, other times he goes a lot. But his pee and the litter don't clump right. Sometimes it's as small as a dime. Sometimes it's as round as the kitten can food containers. I've seen Midnight strain a couple of times to pee. He'll circle around and just not bother, jump out and come back after running around my room.

So maybe when he meows in the box it's not because he's in pain? He does take his toys with him. We make aluminum foil balls for them. We call them Mr. Ball. Sometimes I'll look over and see Midnight jump into the box with Mr. Ball in his mouth. He'll keep Mr. Ball in his mouth until he finishes, then hop out of the box and leave it next to the box, he'll grab it the next time he goes in if Luna doesn't take it from him first. Lot's of times he takes Luna with him. She'll sit right at the box and watch him. Yes I know my kittens are perverts.

How did Hannah get herpes?

You're actually the closest thing to a vet on here. You know a lot about cats, and medicines!

Yes Midnight is a very odd cat when it comes to using the box.

My father is going to try to get in touch with our regular vet tomorrow, we want her to tell us the results because she knows Midnight. Midnight is her patient. This other vet deals mostly with dogs, but she was the only 1 there Saturday and she dealt with all the emergencies that came in Saturday we were 1 of 3.

Midnight until yesterday and today is a very energetic kitten. He even tires Luna out and she's only 6 months old. I swear Midnight doesn't even sleep, he's playing quietly every time I wake up and look at him.

Midnight does pee even if we can't find it.

Midnight doesn't hang around the box. He does circle in it jump out then come back and pee. He does pee even if it's a small amount.

When my father was little my grandparents lived on a farm (they still do minus the animals) he had cows, horses, pigs, chickens, dogs and siamese cats. He's always loved cats. He's gone through quite a few since his childhood. He'd have had more if my mother would have let us. It wasn't until she met Lynxx that she began to like cats. She grew up in a family superstitious about cats. Her older sister is the exact same way and actually had a hard time staying here for a week becasue she was afraid of Lynxx, and Lynxx was a huge cat. Except when she left she did give him 1 quick pat and tell him he was a good cat. She even felt bad when we told her that he died.

I think for my mother Lynxx was her only cat. She doesn't really like these 2, and isn't getting close with them. She does talk to them, and feed them, but their very different from Lynxx and she keeps pointing that out us. She forgets that kittens get into trouble all the time

When we got Lynxx, my father was the 1 who was around all the time with him. I went to school/work. Lynxx's whole kittenhood was spent with my father. They had their own games they used to play. He started that right up again with Midnight. Luna came from a place where she was abused. She does trust my father, but she has a very hard time with men. My father talks to her, and pats her, he can't play the games with her that he did for Lynxx, and does with Midnight. She's to afraid, even when she watches him and Midnight, she'll just watch, she won't join in. He does throw balls for her to chase after, and she enjoys that.

Where do you buy L-Lysine? We'll use the Viralys till we run out.
