In reading risks of Fluoroquinolones antibiotics, isn't Orbax somewhat risky? It mentions on the box it's not to be used in feed animals and doesn't seem to be used in human medicine? My kitty is on it for a UTI, and I'm concerned about retinal damag
Hello. I am so sorry that your question has gone unanswered for so long. As long as the antibiotic is used at the prescribed dose & for the prescribed time, there is very little chance of retinal damage occurring in Echo. Orbax has been available for many years & was in fact developed to address the retinal issue seen with some other fluoroquinolones. It is a good & safe antibiotic for cats. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Good Evening, My cat Felix was taken to the vet and seems to have a UTI with urinary crystals. He seems to be passing the crystals and is peeing a little and then sometimes sprays urine. Im not sure if that's normal he has never done this before. The
Aw, handsome boy! I'm sorry he's having some issues. While I wouldn't say its dangerous to give clavamox and orbax together, I don't recommend that you do that without talking to your vet about doing a urine culture, to identify for certain what bacteria are present and what medications will kill the bacteria. Treating without knowing whether the additional antibiotic is necessary could lead to bacteria becoming resistant to those medications. Ensure that he IS ABLE to urinate and pass urine, as male cats tend to have very small urethras and could get an obstruction in their urethras from inflammation of the tissue and crystalline and mucoid debris in the urine. Occasionally, stones may form in the bladder and can also cause obstruction in the urethra. If your vet didn't do an Xray, you may want to talk to your vet about doing that if the problem persists. For now, if he IS DEFINITELY passing urine, he's eating, and he seems to be feeling ok (not vomiting, etc), ensure he's g

A feral cat that I feed has what appears to be an acute infection in his left eye and mouth area . His eye is crusting shut and he is having difficulty closing his mouth and is drooling a bit. No Vets here will provide antibiotics for a stray, and I
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Unfortunately, there are no oral medications (prescription or non) that will help him. The eye probably needs topical medications so you will have to catch him to even try. I would recommend offering him canned cat food so he can eat without much discomfort. If he eats the canned food, maybe you can use it to lure him into the trap. Good luck!

2yr old rescue cat has had full dose Orbax and antiviral. Did not help, finished full dose doxycycline.. still no improvement. Congestion, cough, sneezing big globs of green. What next?
Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. Salem may need a second course of an antibiotic but a different antibiotic as there may be a bacterial organisms not being targeted by the Orbax. There may be a large amount of material accumulated in the sinus so a sinus flush under anesthesia may be needed to help remove all of the chronic build up of mucous in the sinus. A steroid may also be warranted to reduce the inflammation in the sinus. I would also suggest having chest x-rays to assess the lungs. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

I have found a stray cat in a horrible condition of what it seems to be stomatitis. He is severely dehydrated and he is drooling blood. He refuses to eat or drink because of the pain so I managed to find a way to feed him with a syringe without hurti
Yes, your suspicion is right, Antibiotics are likely to be needed. Unfortunately without prescription it is going to be difficult to obtain any antibiotic and we are not allowed to make any prescription through this platform. You can try to see fi they have any antiseptic oral gel/solution designed for animals (like this one https://www.petdrugsonline.co.uk/pet-dent-antibacterial-mouth-gel).
