Poor Licky (kind of a GW)

"Mischief"
What kind of antibiotics did they give him? Amoxicillan and Clavamox
or Cephalexin are all broad-spectrum antibiotics, but one of the side
effects can be diarrhea. It doesn't happen to every animal, but it
can happen.

Thanks for the 'heads' up on that. Mosey just had 3 fangs removed and his
teeth cleaned, and I'll write these names down and ask the Dr when we pick
him up on Sat.

Maybe they'll change up his antibiotics or give him something for the
diarrhea.

Hope he gets better,

Kristi

Bear in mind, NOT EVERY CAT will react this way. Mischief was just
fine with Clavamox.

It's just a side effect that CAN happen but doesnt' mean it WILL As
responsible technicians they should tell you of any side effects with
any drug, I tell them so they owner doesn't panic if it does
happen. But honestly only every now and then will I have an animal
react poorly to it.

Hope Mosey is ok

Actually, we used bleach water in cleaning and disinfecting the cat
cages and equipment for one of the local shelters. I usually went a
little heavy on the bleach 1/4, but it worked out well. The only
problem with it is that some cats (and dogs I suspect) can and do get
high off of it.

I'm one of those who are allergic to the pine oil used in most pine
cleansers. Pine Sol is about guarenteed to send me to the hospital.

I use soap then ALWAYS rinse with white vinegar and water.

Wow, I didn't think it would get you high. Make you gag, maybe. That's
good to know about! When I clean litterboxes, I do it in the bathtub and
I always have the door closed so kitties can't get in and get into the
disinfectant. But the downside is that then I have no ventilation.

I've got it down to a science now, though - I fill the box with hot,
hot water and pine sol (which I will change to bleach), and then exit the
bathroom, close the door behind me, and let it soak a while. After the
soak, I go back in and immediately dump out the liquid and rinse it out
before I start scrubbing. This minimizes the fumes, at least. It would
be better if I had a bathroom window, but I don't.

That's awful! I think the stuff smells gross myself, but it must be
really bad to be that allergic, especially if you find yourself in a
public building where that's what they use for disinfectant.

That's certainly the most environmentally friendly way to clean. Does it
disinfect well enough? If so, maybe that's what I should consider using.

All I know is that I have used that combination forever, Even when I had a
cafeteria at an army depot. Sometime would use straight white vinegar on
food surfaces. So far it has worked for me. Piglet always sneezes when I
rinse anything in pine sol.

They gave him VEDCO for an anti-biotic (Clinmycinotic) , 25 mg/mL liquid,
every 12 hours, starting Sunday. The vet said it shouldn't cause 'the
runs'.

And Mosey is fine, taking a nap right now, snoozing on the arm of his
favorite overstuffed chair. It's so good to have my baby home again, and
well and happy. He's nearly six years old.

Thanks! I cleaned it up right away, so there wasn't much of a stain. This
is ancient carpet and has coffee and tea stains, food stains, wine stains,
and kitty puke stains all over the apartment. I'd ask the landlord to put
in a new one, but with 3 cats, it'll just get wrecked again. One of these
days, I'll get a steam cleaner and at least it'll look a little better.
That is not a task I look forward to doing.

The vet didn't seem too alarmed. She just said to keep an eye on him, and
if he continues to have diarrhea, then I should take him in, but a one-time
thing didn't seem that worrisome to her. He's pretty normal otherwise, at
least in terms of eating and playing and so forth. He was fairly jumpy
last night, but considering all the stress he's under, going to the vet's
and there being a strange kitten in the house, that's not surprising. He
does seem to have forgiven me, and he purred when I pet him last night.

Lots of purrs,
