update</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<P>Amy, I'm with you, but done is done.<BR></P>
<P>My biggest issue with long lasting drugs like this is that you can't take
it back. If there's an adverse reaction, you're stuck with it, and the
consequences. I will only use those if the critter has shown no problems with
the drug before (kind of impossible with Convenia, as it doesn't come in
another form, but I'd certainly try a short term cephalosporin first) or is
feral and cannot be medicated.<BR></P>
<P>Some Vets seem to be quite enamoured with Convenia, and give it without
asking, for very inappropriate reasons. I have NO CONVENIA on all my charts.
Doesn't mean I won't allow it ever, but this makes them talk to me
first...</P>

not suggest doing convenia for a cat with leukemia unless the cat is darn
near impossible to medicate. The drug is meant for skin conditions and while
some vets use it for URIs and UTIs, that is an off label use. I have seen it
work for both but I also feel, like most vets, that it does not work nearly
as well as oral antibiotics. Any vet will tell you oral meds are stronger
and in a cat where a URI can be fatal, I'd always go with the strongest meds
available to try to kick it quickly. Not trying to criticize, just trying to
help. Good luck and keep us posted!</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV class=yiv0154479622MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">If she is
in the bathroom anyway, run the shower hot, and create a high steam
environment. That will help with the URI. I have also used Vicks Vaporub
to rub on their chests (yes – it’s messy on their fur, but the smell opens
up their nasal passages very well, just like it does with kids). I would
urge you not to wait on the Winstrol. This will help build up her strength
and appetite, and will start working on the anemia very quickly. She is
experiencing all these problems (URI and diarrhea) because she is run down
and can not fight off infections, etc.) Ask your vet if he can give a long
lasting antibiotic shot like Convenia, so you don’t need to be giving even
more orally. Also, I would use pureed baby food – chicken and beef. You
can get this into her using a plastic syringe, or she may like it as most
of my cats have always liked the taste and take it easily on their own,
even if I have to start using syringes. It is easy to digest, full of
protein, and a good consistency to syringe if necessary. But I can’t
stress enough that you shouldn’t wait on the
Winstrol.<U></U><U></U></SPAN></DIV>

the bathroom with her. She woke me and told me we needed to take her
to the vet. She has URI. She did not have nasal
involvement yesterday but today she did. She did eat 3/4 of a can of
AD. The vet is very concerned. He did say he felt she was
better off with us than in the hospital there as there is no one there at
night. But he is very concerned. <U></U><U></U></DIV></DIV>
