Scooter's Medication Info

**K & L** · 03-11-2006, 09:22 AM

For those of you wanting this info, Scooter's medication for incontinence is Phenylpropanolamine.HCL topical cream. I apply .05 to inner skin of ear flap twice daily. Hopefully this won't have to continue for life. I will keep you all posted on how it's working.

Now, let see if it works. It is such a neat idea.. NO PILLS!

Boy wouldn't it be nice if we could apply all of their meds to their ears! I know it would sure help with my little wildman So Small! He turns into a ferocious beast when I try to medicate him! Even two of us can't do it!

I hope the med works good for little Scooter!!!

Thank You for the update.

PPA? That used to be in human cold meds, but was implicated in some side effect or other. Hopefully it will help your kitty.

Lisa ~ IMOM has an ongoing case with Ramses who had a similar problem as Scooter. The last report I read, they are not having any leaking problem. Just thought I'd pass it along in case you wanted to get more information from them.

Diagnosis: Rameses has been treated for urethral blockage twice in the last month. He has a very narrow urethra and needs a perineal urethrostomy to prevent further blockage.

YIKES!

That had to hurt!

Thank you! I will read all this when I get home and can spend the time on it. I believe the meds are beginning to work on Scooter!

I haven't seen as much leakage, so keep your fingers crossed this little one can escape the confines of the bedroom soon! Although he doesn't see unhappy there, I think he would love to explore! Thanks!!

Do you have to alternate between ears for each dose, as I did with Shahdee's heart med.? I found that the medication I used created a waxy buildup inside the ear after several weeks, so I had to clean that up peridically. I'm really glad to hear that the medicine is starting to take effect.

Thanks for the info, Lisa. I like the idea of putting on the ears also. Just seems way easier than trying to pill a cat.

Yes, we do have to alternate. I will watch for a build-up! Thanks for the info.
