Sick Kitten Found

[Sarthur2]

If her eyes are crusty from an eye infection, the clavamox will not help. She'll need terramycin antibiotic eye ointment.

If it's from an URI the clavamox will help.

Thanks, she also sounds kind of raspy. I have terramyin ointment, and I also have Cipro drops. Can kittens have Cipro drops?

 

[Sarthur2]

Continue with the clavamox, and use the terramycin too. Skip the cipro drops for now.

How long before I might see improvement with the Clavamox?

 

[Sarthur2]

Usually around the third day.

Usually around the third day.

Dang, that long?

 

[Sarthur2]

Yes, and give it exactly on time so the level stays consistent in her system.

Twice a day, yes?

 

[Sarthur2]

That's right - 12 hours apart.

Okay, that's the plan. It might be my imagination, but I think she's starting to feel better already.
Here is today's chart:

If you caught the secondary infection right away, the improvement can seem magical. Are you supplementing with L-lysine and probiotics? If not, you can ask your vet about type of probiotic and dosages.

I didn't catch it right away... I have the lysine, but haven't been using it, maybe I will start.

She continues to gain!

She continues to gain!

Yeah, but it's not much.

 

[Sarthur2]

It's still better than no gains or losses.

True.
