Update on Puddy; she's gone*9/29* see post #421

[Catlady711]

I was also wondering if her being so withdrawn and maybe uncomfortable could also be due to the UTI or to the Zeniquin she is on to fight the UTI. I don't know anything about this drug but maybe with everything combined (kidney issue, anemia, UTI and possible side effects from the Zeniquin) she might be feeling awful. I am wondering if the UTI clears up or the meds are finished she might come around a bit and be a bit more ready to combat the anemia issue. How many more days will she be on the Zeniquin?

We use Zeniquin at work for UTI's an other nasty infections. Here's some info copied from the product insert.

DESCRIPTION: Marbofloxacin is a synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial agent from the fluoroquinolone class of chemotherapeutic agents.

INDICATIONS: Zeniquin (marbofloxacin) tablets are indicated for the treatment of infections in dogs and cats associated with bacteria susceptible to marbofloxacin.

ADVERSE REACTIONS: The following clinical signs were reported during clinical field studies in cats receiving 1.25 mg/lb/day: diarrhea (2.1%) and soft stool (1.4%). Vomiting was reported in less than 1% of cases in cats.

DRUG INTERACTIONS: Compounds (e.g., sucralfate, antacids, and mineral supplements) containing divalent and trivalent cations (e.g., iron, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, and zinc) can interfere with the absorption of quinolones which may result in a decrease in product
bioavailability. Therefore, the concomitant oral administration of quinolones with foods, supplements, or other preparations containing these compounds should be avoided.

Checking in again.

As for the night time visit to the faucet (that was 2 nights back, I think?) Chestnut says MEOW, Puddy, water is ALWAYS better from the faucet than the fountain!

My Ozzy has to have a special medicine from a compounding pharmacy. At first I was picking it up at the vet, then I discovered (as someone suggested above) that the compounding pharmacy will ship directly to my home. No driving to the vet, saved me time and money.

Praying for dear sweet Puddy, that photo you posted, she is lovely.

Sending all my best wishes to you and Puddy. Sweet tender kisses for the poor girl.
