How long can u keep a cat on tylan powder for I.B.S. ? Is there a injection or tablet form I can use ? Is there any other meds ?
Hi and thank you for your post on Boop by Petco this afternoon! Tylan powder can be used in cats with IBD, but is not a long term solution for this problem. Tylosin can come in tablet, liquid suspension, or capsule form. IBD symptoms will reappear after stopping the Tylan administration. Prednisolone can help symptoms as well as another antibiotic called Metronidazole, but again, these drugs are not for long term usage. Changing the diet to a novel protein source that is highly digestible can really help IBD patients. Sometimes there is a concurrent food allergy causing the symptoms so it is worth exploring with your veterinarian if a food trial or food allergy screening test is worth doing. High fiber diets can also help as well. Most diets that can help with IBD are prescription diets that are available through your veterinarian. I hope this helps and thanks again for using Boop by Petco!

My cat is 20 years old and is being treated from small cell lymphoma of his small intestines. The vet oncologist prescribed Chlorambucil. He had one dose and will have a CBC next week which would be 2 weeks since he took the Chlorambucil. But as of a
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! I would get a probiotic like Purina Fortiflora. If the metronidazole isn't working I would ask for tylan and Hill's i/d to help control the diarrhea. The drug can cause GI upset seen as vomiting and diarrhea. You can discuss trying a lower dose with your Vet when they call you back. Lowering the dose will make it less effective against the lymphoma. I wish you the best!

Can I give a cat people antibiotics
My short answer is no. Cats are very small compared to humans and the dosing is completely different. This is not a safe approach. Plus, antibiotics should never be given without a prescription by a veterinarian, as inappropriate use can lead to bacterial resistance, which can cause more serious problems. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

I wanted to add that I gave him Tetracycline which I took for an infection so out of desperation I gave him a lesser dose and it seemed to greatly help but I didn't want to give it to him for very long. Thank you, Mickey Beskin
Unfortunately, in the forum there is no continuing thread of questions from user, so I may have missed a previous post from you. I would not recommend self treating your pet with antibiotics, as you may accidentally do harm to him. In addition, if it's the wrong antibiotic for his condition, you will be promoting antibiotic resistance. If your pet is sick and needs antibiotics, he will need to see a vet. I can give you some resources to help you afford a vet. You can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com h

He had abcesse that popped and now discharge in eye and a small wound on back. Can I apply tarramycin to his eye?
Ideally, he should be physically examined by your veterinarian before any treatment is administered. He may need systemic antibiotics in addition to topical treatment. Pain medication may also be indicated. Legally, we are prohibited from telling you to medicate your pet in the absence of a physical exam and a VPCR (veterinarian-patient-client relationship).
