ANSWER

Dear,

Give on mouth tablets amoxiclave depend on body weight of the dog every 12 hours for 5-7 days. The doses are 17 mg amoxyclave on every kilo body weight. But you probably need prescription of your vet. Veterinary drug is named Synulox and you can buy them in veterinary pharmacies.

Truly,

So here are some signs to watch for and how to manage your cat’s or dog’s Arthritis pain.

Warning Signs that your Pet could have Arthritis:
• Slowed movement
• Joints are swollen or red
• Stiffness and trouble getting up from a sitting/lying position
• Pain (Flinching from petting or handling)
• Some limping
• Inability to climb stairs
• Hard time getting in and out of the litter-box

How to Treat & Manage:
• Watch your pet’s weight – Extra weight produces strain on joints, just like it does in humans. By managing your pet’s diet and lower its weight you can help the amount of stress on the joints. It can also help with combating other diseases like heart disease or diabetes.
• Massage – Massage helps increase blood flow in the muscles and that can be good for sore joints.
• Warmth and Comfort – Cold temperatures and dampness can intensify arthritis pain. Make sure your cat or dog has a warm, soft bed and stays inside while it rains or snows.
• Medicine – See your vet in case the joint pain is due to infection, in that case they may prescribe steroids or antibiotics. Caution aspirin and acetaminophen can be dangerous for cats and some dogs with stomach problems, so don’t self-prescribe.
• Supplements – Natural supplements are a good option for cats or dogs with sensitive stomachs or who don’t react well to harsh medications. FlexPet with CM8 is an all natural arthritis supplement that is currently helping thousands of dogs and cats suffering from the painful disease. It is the only dog joint pain relief supplement with the patented CM8 ingredient, clinically proven to stimulate join fluid lubrication, strengthen cartilage and increase mobility.
• Exercise – You may assume that exercise will further strain the joints but it can actually help build muscles and strengthen the areas around the joint, therefore lessening the pain. It can be very challenging to get a cat exercise if they are in pain. Try a walk on a leash, even for a cat, introduce a new toy and play with your dog or cat.

Again, always seek the advice of your Veterinarian in case these symptoms are being caused by a different disease or infection that requires immediate treatment.

pet’s breed: DSH CAT
pet’s age: 3
pet’s sex: male
previous treatment:

this is a stray cat, he was badly wounded, had large absesses on his face, a lot of puss came out,he is fine now

QUESTION:

Can neutering a male cat cause more aggression towards other cats?
He received all vaccines at the time of surgery.
He was fine for three days and then he became lethargic, started loosing hair (got two bold big spots) and started attacking other cats. He is fine in a cage. He is very friendly and affectionate with people.
Could combination of all vaccines and anasthetics cause this problem.

ANSWER

Dear,

Neutering can cause frustration in male cats. Usually they accept neutering without problems, but in small percent of them can manifest aggression.
You shouldn’t worry, because this problem will disappear. Be tolerant with him and try on gentle way to explain that he shouldn’t attack other cats.

Best wishes
