I can’t shake this cold… could it be more serious?

Category: Amoxil — Prescription Search @ 4:18 pm

So about a month ago, I was stuck to my couch for about 2-3 days with a cough, fever, chills, and congestion. I took some OTC meds and in a few days felt alot better. About a week later, I fell ill again, but this time it was a fever, horrible sore throat (i could barely swallow), and nasal congestion, but no stuffy or runny nose. I went to a clinic ( i dont have health insurance) and they gave me 8 days of amoxicilin. I don’t recall her telling me what I had exactly, i was so loopy from lack of sleep, but I finished the course of antibiotics and felt 100% better. Now, it’s about 4 days since the last dose of amoxil, and my cough is back and louder than ever. I don’t sleep to well at night because my nose is constantly running and my cough wakes me up (and my poor fiance lol).

I am a smoker, or was, until i started getting sick. Since the first time i was sick, i’ve been smoking next to nothing if nothing at all. I looked at it as an opportunity to quit, but it’s still hard.

I’m also taking a multi-vitamin for women and 500mg of vitamin C every day.

I’m just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience, if i should go back to the clinic, if it’s just this cold winter weather…. i’m desperate!

10 yr old cat has lost weight and now won’t eat or drink?

Category: Amoxil — Prescription Search @ 2:11 pm

my 10 yr old indoor cat has lost weight over the last year. he used to weigh about 10 lbs and is now down to 6.6. he has never been a very active cat but lately he always seems hungry, so we started feeding him extra canned food. a week ago he stopped eating and drinking and was very lethargic. we took him to the vet and he took some blood and said that it is not FIV, leukemia, or diabetes. the only numbers that were off were his liver enzymes, which were only slightly eleveated. he kept him overnight and got him re-hydrated and gave him prednisone and amoxil. we took him home the next day and he seemed more active and ate and drank a little. the next day he wasn’t eating or drinking again and was extremely lethargic. we took him to the vet again yesterday and he sent us home with lactated ringer’s solution and said to give him 50 cc’s 3x/day because he was dehydrated again. however, today he is still extremely lethargic. he can barely even pick up his head. what could be wrong?

My dog may have eaten something poisonous?

Category: Amoxil — Prescription Search @ 1:12 pm

my 7 pound maltese poodle mix 2yrs old. I took her to the vet on Christmas morning because she pooped about an eighth of a cup of red chunky blood. They did a blood and fecal test and a few others. I received the test results today; not anemic, low white cells, red cells are fine there is an infection in the stool. The vet thinks she ate rat poison but she has had no access to rat poison. We do have some little ant traps in our house but they have been out for months and she has never touched them, and I don’t see any that look like she chewed on them. She doesn’t go outside, and poops on an enclosed cement area on the second flood. The vet wants to inject her with vitamin K with additional at home dosage, put her on additional antibiotics. (she is already on 75 ml amoxil 45 mg Metronidazole, and 5mg Famotidine every 12 hours.
I love my dog to death but this initial treatment already cost me 600 dollars and I want to spend the money if she needs all these tests run again as the doctor is recommending in two weeks. She is acting fine and frisky except that she has not pooped since the bloody poop on Christmas. I am unsure if she really needs the additional treatment because she is running around, playing with toys and drinking fine. Please advise

How many days does the canine parvovirus last in a 10 week old puppy?

Category: Amoxil — Prescription Search @ 12:16 pm

Our puppy was diagnosed with Parvo. We got him a week ago and took him in for his 2nd set of shots, they diagnosed giardia at that appointment. But overnight, he had severe diarrhea and vomiting. When I took him back the next day, they said he was positive for parvo. Could this be from the shots he received the day before? He was diagnosed on Thursday morning. We have been giving him fluids via the sub q method and pedialyte orally. He is taking amoxil (antibiodic)and some meds concoction for the giardia, diarrhea, and vomiting. How long should this last? Should we be doing anything more?? I’m so in love with my lil pooch. I just want him to get better : ( If anyone has any advice, it’d be much appreciated!
He was diagnosed on Thursday, May 29. He did very well because we caught it so early. But he had a hard night and we took him back to the vet this morning, Monday June 2. They have hospitalized him. Please pray for my little angel.

Hey, I would drink this…?

Category: Amoxil — Prescription Search @ 11:13 am

In Pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil is also called Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen.
The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.
Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of ‘cocktails’, ‘highballs’ and just good old-fashioned ’stiff drink’. Pepsi will market the new occasion by the name of: Mount & Do.

About Pneumonia question ….?

Category: Amoxil — Prescription Search @ 9:11 am

My gf had high fever last week for 3 days (like 39 and 39,5 celsius). she went to the hospital they told her she has early pneumonia but not so sever to get hospitalized so they gave her antibiotics for one week. (amoxil). the last 2 days she has low fever or no fever at all for example this morning no fever later 37,5 celsius, but she generally feels much better. she has to take the antibiotics until sunday. do you think low fever is normal now that she is under antibiotics?? thanks

Will he be okay? I’m worried.?

Category: Amoxil — Prescription Search @ 8:10 am

I have 5 1/2 week old newfie puppies. There were 4 in the litter, and all have homes waiting for them. BTW, I am a responsible breeder that shows, does health checks and has a solid contract. But this is new, I’m impatient and paranoid, and its late at night so there is no one to talk to that would be knowledgable enough to help.

One little boy came down with a bad case of roundworms, even with deworming. At the same time he had some enteritis with some vomiting and diarrea. I took him to the vet as soon as it started. He was slightly dehydrated so the vet put him on Pedialite and Amoxil. He refuses to eat and has already lost weight. Today the vet started him on subcutaneous fluids and a special diet specifically for recovering dogs. I am to feed him 12ml by syringe every 4 hours, and fluids twice a day. I may be grasping at straws, but he looks better as far as his coat. He even seems to look a little bigger now that he has food on his stomach. But he still doesn’t have much energy and he still won’t even look at his food dish. When should I start to see actual improvement? Like I said, I’m paranoid, but things do happen.

I forgot to mention that he was dewormed again and he did pass a huge adult roundworm.
The vet didn’t think it was parvo. The diarrea isn’t constant, just a few times a day, and the vomiting is even less. She said since the mom was vaccinated, it should be okay in that area. The stool isn’t bloody either.
Pups are born with roundworms. Pregnancy activates an infestation, and the worms are passed to the pups during deliveryand nursing. Even the vets will tell you this.
