I just wonder, can I take medication for my cats?
My old cat and I are dealing with the eye problems together now.
It's the eye ulceration due to Feline Herpes virus.
And "thanks to" our vets, the situation's getting worse now, there are ulcers in the middle of his eye, which do not have veins.
So the medication called Famciclovir won't work well on the cornea.
According to my study on the internet, famciclovir turns well in human body into penciclovir, well it doesn't work well in cats.
It's called bioavailability. And it can rarely reach the tears. For that reason, cats should take a high quantity of Famciclovir.
Which may do harm to their liver and kidney. especially for the old cats.
A vet wrote to me in the letter that cats can use other cats' or dogs' blood serum as eye drop. If dog can, can human do the same thing?
Does anyone know if it works? This kind vet who wrote to me seems out of reach of him PC for now. So I have to ask it here now.
