Carmine's Not Feeling Well

Carmine's been on his antibiotic - ClindaCure - for a a couple of days now.  I could tell right away it was upsetting his tummy because he didn't eat much of his wet food at dinner since he's been on it.



I just went to watch Carmine in his box (yes, I know, I'm strange, but sometimes I like to make sure he's still urinating since he has FLUTD) and he had lots of diarrhea. :(

Our vet doesn't open until Tuesday. Should I keep giving it to him?

I cannot stand to see him suffer. It hurts me to know that this is making his tummy upset. :(

I think Carmine could use some nice healing purrs and hugs about now.

    Aw, purrs and prayers for Carmine! Does your vet have a help line? An emergency number for when they're closed? Maybe you can get someone on the phone to tell you if you should continue the antibiotic or not?

    Purrs for Carmine. Antibiotics often cause loose stools in humans, too. Hopefully your vet will have a suggestion.

    When they are closed our vet has a message telling us which vet is on call with a phone number to contact them on.
    Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

    Are you able to get hold of some pro or pre biotics?

    I hope he feels better soon.

    The antibiotic can cause diarrhea. Is there an emergency clinic that you could call? Sometimes they'll give you some advice over the phone.

    Poor Carmine, we're purring for him.

    Poor sweetie. Purrs from us. Can you get some Purina FortiFlora (probiotic) to give him while he's on the antibiotics?

    All I can do is send Carmine purrs - I hope your vet clinic has an emergency line. Meds do sometimes have bad side effects.

    I think it will be safe for you to stop giving it to him until Tuesday. Hope he feels better soon!

    Thank you, everyone! I decided to stop giving it to him until Tuesday. He is much happier today; I can tell his tummy isn't bothering him because he's much more himself than he has been the past couple days. I'll keep everyone posted.

    We are so sorry Carmine is reacting badly to his antibiotic. They can be such powerful medications. Hopefully the vet cab adjust his dosage? Thanks for coming to our party, especially when you are worried and not feeling well. We'll be purring for Carmine.

    It's now Tuesday so we expect that you have spoken with the vet but incase you haven't been able to yet, we think the suggestions to stop giving the antibiotic and to give some probiotic are really good.

    Sending purrs and love to you Carmine, hope you feel better soon!

    it looks as if carmine plans to sleep through the discomfort, which seems to us to be a good plan. Hope you can get to the VET on Tuesday. Prayers, purrs and hugs for Carmine from the kitties at The Cat on My Head, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette
