Gentaved and Prednisolone combo for skin problem?
Rather than try another shot of Depo Medrol for my 9 year old female
longhair (last one was three months ago), our vet replaced Tresaderm with Gentaved and added 5 mg/day of Prednisolone to try and stop the licking which is either the cause or the effect of her hind leg sores. Anyone have experience with Gentaved? I know it's a combo of an anti- biotic and a corticosteroid. Since I don't give her the Prednisolone by mouth, that means I have to crunch into powder and get the low sodium turkey breast, or some Boars Head roast beef. She actually will eat the pill powder as long as I roll some small pieces of the meat around it. |

Anyone have experience with Gentaved? I know it's a combo of an anti- biotic and a corticosteroid. Correct. Pretty much run of the mill topical stuff. Gentamicin is prescribed for gram negative bacteria - usually Pseudomonas spp. and gram neg Staph. I would keep the cat from licking the Gentamicin off of her legs - it can have adverse effects on the kidneys. Since I don't give her the Prednisolone by mouth, that means I have to crunch into powder and get the low sodium turkey breast, or some Boars Head roast beef. She actually will eat the pill powder as long as I roll some small pieces of the meat around it. My opinion (take it or leave it) is that Depo injection is more effective than oral Pred. Both have similar long-term side effects. The topical meds may help soothe the skin, though. Good luck with your kitty. It sounds like she has an allergy - you ned to see if you can find out what the allergy is. Read Cheryl's post in your other thread about her allergy journey with her kitty Shamrock - also Google it. Lots of good info came from her experiences. -L. |
