Margo – I just sent a far more detailed email before I saw yours. It

dengue fever, but also references use of it in other viral infections caused

I mentioned in my earlier emails, I was well aware that antibiotics obviously

KILL viruses, but instead, help to block their

you're both right. Doxy is an antibiotic, but also has properties that prevent

ia an antibiotic for bacterial infections, not for viral
infections. It works by interferring with the normal growth cycle of the
bacteria preventing them from reproducing and allowing the body to fight
off the infection. It is used against mycoplasma including mycoplasma
haemofelis, whcih is a blood parasite that causes anemia and death in
cats I have had a couple of cats die from it and a couple that I
have saved. This disease is transmitted by fleas so it is
important to use flea products on our cats. Doxy should be given with
food or on a full stomach to reduce chance of vomiting. It is suggested
that you give a syringe of water after pilling because it is possible for the
tablets to become stuck in the esophagus which can cause irritaftion or
scarring and can make it difficult for your cat to swallow. I crush it
and mix it with water and syringe it. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">In
the book "Secrets of a vet tech-the guide to low cost pet care when the
cupboard is bare" by J C Farris, she tells that you can use fish meds on cats
and purchase them on line or in some pet stores without a script This
includes doxy (fish doxy), amoxicillan (fish mox), metronidazole (fish zole),
clindamycin (fish cin), cephalexen (fish flex), ciprofloxacin (fish flox) and
others. This is the same exact medication for dogs and cats.
She has alot of other great ideas in this book. Dosages for these
medications for cats can be found on line. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

just had my 5 yr old positive, Tootsie, stop eating and drinking. She
had vomited for a couple of days before. She had no fever and no
symptoms of upper respiratory so I didn't want to start antibiotics. I
tried everytlhing to get her to eat. Then I remembered pepcid ac was
prescribed by a vet years ago for another cat (not a positive) with the same
symptoms, so I tried it on Tootsie. Four days later she is looking for
food and eating everything I give her. This is also used for kidney cats
that loose their appetite. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>
