Vet prescribed Erythromycin Opthalmic, Baytril Otic, and Famciclovir for my cats. Bean had swollen lymph nodes behind his ear, and he’s instructed to have the baytril otic and famciclovir. Mocha(Felv+) has watery eyes and is instructed to have erythr
Hello. It sounds like Bean has an ear infection so the Baytril Otic would be used for that. Famciclovir is an anti viral medication generally used to treat feline herpes virus, a very common upper respiratory infection in cats. The Erythromycin Ophthalmic is an antibiotic for the eyes, so the vet is being very through in treating your kitties. Hopefully, everyone will be feeling better soon. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Where do I get cat flavored meds?
You will need to have flavored medications made at a special pharmacy called a compounding pharmacy. Your vet may know of a local compounding pharmacy that may make flavored medications, so I would check with them. If they do not have a suggestion, I have been very pleased with Road Runner Pharmacy ( https://www.roadrunnerpharmacy.com/ ). Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your question. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Veterinary medicines aren't available in my country, so vets prescribe human meds to pets. My cat (who has been coughing - dry cough, 2 to 3 times a day, 10 to 15 seconds at a time) has been prescribed Velosef Syrup. My question is: does it make a di
Thank you for using Boop by Petco! I'm sorry that Jolly is not feeling well. There is no difference in the active ingredient, an antibiotic, between Velosef syrup vs capsules/tablets. Slight differences in the way the compound is dissolved may be present, but the activity is the same. Most veterinarians prescribe medications based on the animal's weight, so the total dose (total milligrams) needs to be the same no matter the form of the medication. I recommend asking your vet what the total amount of medication is per dose, and ensuring that the same amount is present in either the capsules, tablets, or syrup. I'm happy to answer any other questions you may have!

What medicine can I recommend to my friend's cat? The cat is sick with corona virus and has symptoms like "cold" or "flu". My friend lives in Russia and can't bring her cat to USA. Can I buy and send her some of medications or vaccines for her cat? I
There is no treatment for corona virus. Although there is a vaccine, the cat would need to have received it before becoming ill with the virus. Supportive care to treat the symptoms are the best option at this point. Antibiotics would only be effective if there is a bacterial infection. If the vet in Russia has determined that there is a bacterial infection, they will be able to prescribe an antibiotic such as Clavamox. However, you will not be able to purchase antibiotics here to send to another country. If the cat becomes dehydrated, the vet will want to administer intravenous (IV) fluids. This is not something that can be done at home. Oral steroids such as prednisolone can sometimes be helpful but again, these would need to be prescribed by a vet in Russia.
