Hi all, we've been traveling cross USA w/ our 2 cats. The FiV boy cat has had to get Sub-Q'd 3x in 6 months now, as he's got some CKD & dilute urine. He was also found to have a slight murmer & then an arrythmia. This 2nd finding, worries Sub-Q vets, as too much fluid can cause Congestive Heart. He gets no more than 100mls/visit. HE ALSO HAS HAD 2 COVENIA SHOTS TREATING supposed strep?? bUT WORSE YET, one of the 2 vets did no bld wk but based it on some holistic waving of a pendant?? Has anyone ever seen a vet using this mode? I've not.
Here's our 2nd prob; our older girl was in yest to -- yet another new vet -- since traveling, as we need find a vet where we get hotels. He saw her for some now daily vomiting that began early this wk, & even a few days at least 2x she'd vomit. He gave the Cerenia to both use as an anti-vomit & stim for her appetite. Anyone ok this?? I'd think the body NEEDS to vomit as this is body's way of expelling whatever toxin it is trying to rid? Now I'm really lost on vet medicine.
Vet also, found (but hasn't gotten back the (yesterday's taken) urinalysis from yest yet) cystitis in bladder?? But did give a broad spectrum Clavamox aka Amoxicillin, I think? He said re a cystitis found in bladder cells?? But he'll know more Monday as he gets Urine results. She is prone to previous UTI's, I know too.
So are my cats being overly medicated?? I'm unclear where to draw the line here? TY everyone for reading. The worst part is, in hotels they often use the other's box or we catch them roaming to eat from the other's food or water bowls. This adds confusion as I'm worried it is bacteria being passed back & forth?
