Feeling Worried
drooling cat
Our poor orphaned kitten, Lucas the Cadpig, has been so sick. He is just skin and bones, and barely can walk. He has been taking antibiotics for ten days without much improvement, and today seemed to slide downhill. So, I once again called The Most Excellent Vet, Dr. Hammock, and he said we would try the wee fellow on Bactrim. I cut up the tablet and gave it to him and he drooled alarmingly, copiously, so much that his entire chest was soaking wet...I started to get very worried but hated to call the vet and wake him up yet again...I called poison control, and they had no idea...and Dear Husband the pharmacist in in route from Cedar Point. However, I searched online and apparently excessive drooling is common in cats after taking nasty tasting oral medication.
Poor little guy.
Thank Goodness for the Internet!

I was up and down all last night. I finally got up around 8 am and took an shower. Then Travis, me and his mom went to the ER room at the hospital. My finger gotten really puffed and hurted like hell! My abscess on my right leg popped last night and alot of pus and blood mixture came out of it. The ER doctor numbed my finger and my leg and cut them open to drain them. A little bit came out of my finger and my leg but mostly when the one on my leg popped last night the pus was alot. They sent it to a lab and its going to take 48 hours to know what I have but they are treating it like Staph Infection. I am taking Keflex and Bactrim. Well I had a hellish day so I'm going to rest.
I am taking Cephalexin (Kelfex) 500 MG CAP. One capsule by month 4 times daily for 10 days. And Bactrim DS 800-160 TAB. One tablet by mouth twice daily for 10 days.
