    I notice you only talked about meds. What about lysine? Another cat I have was prescribed lysine, bought it from my vet. Now they recommend Pet Smart, their office doesn’t carry it any more. We take lysine bought at vitamin section in store, for people. I know dosage eluld be much smaller, obviously. But is it the same and safe?

  2. @naglerobert62 on October 26, 2024 at 3:40 pm

    Thank you for your information. I have four feral cats. One has an abscess from a bite. I cannot get him into a carrier to go to a vet. I will try some of your 7 OTC medications.

    One of my street cats had huge wounds on top of the head and neck. It was red and deep. I had a zink with antibiotic oitment and home, which I use for my trouble. I applied on him daily, probably for a week, as I remember, and it healed nicely. Was I wrong? Hope not cuz it worked! ❤🐈‍⬛🐈 have 2 rescued from mean streets of NYC.

  6. @felisamoniquette2641 on October 26, 2024 at 3:43 pm

    Thx so much! Such useful information, I have strays that I feed and I can’t take them to the vet for things. Too expensive. This will come in handy in the event I should need it. 😻👍🏼🫶🏻

    The vet’s recommendations for treating cats:
    1. Pepcid (a/k/a famotidine, for vomiting, dose is 2.5 mg. per 10 lbs. of cat’s body weight)
    2. Polysporin For Eyes (a/k/a polymix and ramicide, for conjunctivitis, dose is 1 drop, 4x per day into each affected eye)
    3. Chlorpheniramine (a/k/a chlortripalon, for itching/allergies, 2 mgs., 2-3x per day)
    4. Chlorhexidine (for puncture wounds, mix with a little water then use a syringe to flush the area well)
    5. Topical Hydrocortisone cream 1% (for red areas of inflamed skin, squirt 1/4-inch on your finger and apply to cat 2x/day for 7-14 days)
    6. Benadryl (for allergies or as a mild sedative or for anti-anxiety, 1 mg per lb. of cat’s body weight, 2-3x per day)
    7. Robaxin (The ONLY active ingredient must be Methocarbamol – the ONLY safe OTC pain relief for cats, 10 mgs. per lb. of cat’s body weight, 2x per day)

    Please forgive misspellings.

    "When I was in practice?"
    So you’re not a practicing vet anymore?
    You look kind of young to be retired. Did you lose your license?

  14. @juleneyoung5053 on October 26, 2024 at 3:51 pm

    How do you give a pill to a cat?

  31. @cfgpropertiesllc7292 on October 26, 2024 at 4:09 pm

    Tooth pain is what I was hoping for🥴

  32. @Speedslip-bq2gk on October 26, 2024 at 4:10 pm

    Helpful tip. I use hemp oil for my elder cat. I use to slip some in a freshly opened can of food. However , he’d often detect the bitter taste, so no go. Then, I tried a raw egg with 99.9% results! I’d crack an egg into a bowl , whip it up well. Then , twice a day pour a modest amount on a flat dish and mix in hemp oil. The egg lasted roughly 3-4 days. A life saver. Cat has no loose stool from the egg or other. Eggs have excellent vitamins, minerals for cats or people. If concerned, buy organic eggs.

  46. @lilyh1039 on October 26, 2024 at 4:27 pm

    I had bad experience with the vet. I wasn’t able to go home for 2 months due to family health issues . My little dog got sick, cannot walk brought to the vet and he diagnosed as paralysis. I went home asap, ordered dog stroller as he was just crawling. I started to prop him up and call to follow me. One, two steps slow like a baby. Finally after 3 months he’s walking like nothing happened, he runs fast too. Never used the stroller, still in the box. I went back to the vet and showed him my dog. It’s been 6 years since and my dog is doing ok.

  47. @1035heb on October 26, 2024 at 4:30 pm
