Starr Just Bit Me Very Hard!!!

[kimlovescats]

Tracy, I'm just now reading this but I am glad it wasn't more serious! Get feeling better soon!!!

Tracy you did the right the by going to the doctors...when I was doing a cat rescue over this past summer I was moving a feral female cat from a cage to the cat carrier and she slipped away and I have to catch her very quickly and when I got her she bite down so hard on my hand and keep kicking me on my other arm until I was able to get her into the cat carrier. ( I was doing TNR with the cats). So anyway my mom was there and helped me clean up my bite marks and later the next day my hand was swollen and I had a red rash going up my arm slowly. So they needed to put me on antibotic and I didn't know when my last tetnus shot was so the gave me one of those too. I learned my lession very well after that moment. But the cat got fixed and released and now she's not spreading any babies at least.

I hope you are not too mad with Starr.

Thanks again everyone. I'm not mad at Starr I don't blame him at all. We'll both be fine but now due to the meds that we're both on, we both have diarrhea. I guess I must be on some very strong antibiotics because I've never had this kind of reaction before. I can't take any antidiarrhea meds either because it said that it might make things worse. I just hope that my system will be back to normal by Jan.2nd because I have to go back to work.

Oh Lordy I feel your pain
a couple years ago I was on 1000mg of Augmentin for 10 days -- HORSE PILLS!
I ended the script like on a Tuesday and even thru the weekend I was MISERABLE! with cramping, gas and diarrhea! And I was at a Bachlorette Party in Canada to boot! It was the PITTS! It was just something I had to go thru b/c of the strong antiobiotic but I've never forgotten it! I think I took a whole pack of anti-diarrheal pills and didn't even touch it!

{hugs}

I'm on amoxicillin/k clav 875/125mg tablets and I take 2 pills a day and they are huge. It's the generic for augmentin.

Eat lots of yogurt. The antibiotics are killing off all the bacteria in your gut - good and bad. The yogurt will help bring the good ones back.

You have to be careful using dairy products with certain antibiotics, the dairy can interfere with the absorbtion of the medication.

If I'm understanding "amoxicillin/k clav 875/125mg tablets" it means amoixicilling and Clavamox? If thats what those are I believe dairy is ok to use with those. I don't know about 'augmentin' but then again our meds are for animals, and even though we sometimes use human genarics there are soooo many names/brands out there I couldn't possibly keep up with all of them.
