This is an old thread that gets bumped occasionally with new replies.
I'd like to clarify that since this thread was started we've had a change of policy. We no longer allow providing medical advice and specifically suggesting dosages in lieu of visiting a veterinarian.
There is a thread that is pinned in the health forum about this -
[thread="283086"]Recommending Treatments Please Read This First [/thread]
From that post -
1. If you suspect that your cat may be ill, please contact your vet immediately. No online advice can replace direct veterinary intervention.You are welcome to look for advice in the health forum while waiting for that appointment, but never delay proper veterinary care waiting for Internet advice.
2. Do not provide medical advice. Discussing various options is encouraged and you may share your experience including details about what kind of medication was administered and dosage. However, do not suggest to another member that they should change anything in the course of treatment prescribed by their vet without first consulting with a qualified veterinarian.
With that in mind, I am now locking this thread. Thank you for understanding and best health wishes to all kitties out there.
