I had a feral cat TNRed mid september, and in addition to frontline, a rabies vaccine, and the 3-1 fvcrp or w/e, he got the convenia shot and some dissolvable stitches for a wound/abscess that was partially left open too. Around 5cm. I dewormed him with drontal yesterday (I think he ate only part of the dose, darn it...I tried). It looks like the infection began to heal but we're in the third week and it still isn't all the way healed, and is open. I was instructed to only keep him inside for one week in a crate. He is really trap averse now obviously, this is the main reason motivating doing things myself. I regret letting him out and feel this advice was based on the fact that this cat was full blown wild. I feel very responsible for him, as he comes to eat here daily and nightly now.
Does anyone here have any experience where they *told a vet or vet tech* that they used it and the vet didn't seem concerned? I would like to trap him again and take him in but if I can't, am I putting the cat in danger by dosing him with something like this? MIDLAND VET SERVICES Aqua-Mox Amoxicillin Fish Antibiotic, 100 count - Chewy.com I keep reading about people using this with success but have not been able to find a single professional that has publicly commented. I am interested in your own experience too. I have seen posts on facebook where they say this is a god send, but I did see one post in which someone accidentally killed their cat.
I do not live in a state in which it is legal for a vet to give me a prescription online. I took him to a feral cat hub of some sorts, where its like a kitty factory and they neuter them all, vaccinate them, and then give them care for what they can if they have the tools, like this kitty got for the wound on his back. It is not a facility that engages in ongoing care so calling and asking for a prescription isn't a thing. I have to find a vet that will take a feral kitty but also I have to get a drop trap now probably. I'm concerned I won't be able to trap him. He is nobody's cat but he is an appreciated friend to many in my neighborhood.
Thinking as I type would any meds work period if he hasn't been fully dewormed? Sorry for turning my post into multiple questions. Thanks for any input or experience you guys have.
