| Alicia User ID: 23423237 09/08/2012 07:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | hey anyone here using pet meds? fish antibiotics? Quoting: meghan21 why aren't you just getting scrip from the doctor? I want to hear from you. Send me an email and tell me about your experience. You live in Canada, where you get free health care. Other people have to pay very dearly for a prescription and a Dr's visit for the same meds they can get online that's made for a fish. If you don't have insurance it's very expensive to get antibiotics. |
| cancer biologist User ID: 25039825 10/05/2012 09:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All of you idiots abusing antibiotics are creating antibiotic-resistant bacteria (commonly called super bugs). When bacteria contain a plasmid with certain resistance gene to an antibiotic, then keep that plasmid and transfer to other bacteria to cause them to be resistant as well. When people take antibiotics, the resistant bacteria are constantly exposed to the antibiotic and have a reason to keep their antibiotic resistant plasmid. After antibiotics aren't used for a long time, the bacteria will get rid of their plasmid and become susceptible to antibiotics again. Therefore, those that take antibiotics every time they start to cough or get a runny nose are creating super bugs. Of course, they gives people like me a job because we get to create new drugs to kill the bacteria; however, as it gets more difficult and more resistant, pandemics result. Just to let you all know! Also, as I have access to a NMR machine, I tested the purity of Fish Mox and amoxicillin from a capsule I saved the last time I had an ear infection. Results: Fish Mox-36% pure amoxicillin, Amoxicillin from my pharmacy-98% pure. So, stop being idiots and see a doctor if you are sick. There is a reason they are in college for 12+ years! |

It usually comes in a bright red capsule, a chewable tablet or in liquid form (usually a pink cherry flavored mixture used for children, cats and other small critters). Quoting: Wraithwynd [link to health.yahoo.com] gives a lot of details. Pet meds and human meds are often exactly the same thing, just sold to vets in smaller dosages (more often) for dogs (from the size of children (under 12) on down and cats. Dosage: Here is the rub, Amoxicillin is used to treat many forms of bacterial infection, however depending on the infection the dosage and the course (how long) varies dosages as low as 10 mg/kg to as high as 40 mg/kg depending on what you are treating. To give a basic idea where to go dose wise. 10 to 30 MG/kg per day is a good rule of thumb. If there is no doctor to diagnose and treat, then stick with the 30 mg/kg per day ( split into two doses morning and evening) to treat most common infections that a person would get without a doctor being readily available. Synulox (amoxycillin) Antirobe (clindamycin) Ceporex (cephalaxin) Having worked in the veterinary industry for 14yrs I understand these to be safe (please read contra-indications for the generic version)used at the same dosage as dogs mgs/kg I |

Get it from the aquarium store. 250 mg pills of amoxicillin. It killed my tooth infection and its working on my dogs ear infection. You can get Keflex at the tractor supply hardware store for your cows. That stuff is golden. |

No, it's not us humans creating antibiotic-resistant bacteria, its the farmers who give antibiotics to ten times more animals than humans. And, they give it to the animals even when not sick. |

It's Zithromax in exactly the same strength. 2 the first day, then 1 aday for 5 days. It doesn't get any easier. It is a good wide spectrum antibiotic, and works on most gommon infections. If you can only have one, this is the one to have. Cipro has some usess also, but is more difficult to use. Cipro has some effectivness against some viruses, so it is worth looking into. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 26434665 10/31/2012 06:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The animal antibiotics are high quality. Many people have valuable race horses, show dogs and cats and if their antibiotics were not quality the vets would get sued. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 736731 Doxycycline, tetracycline, oxytetracycline are available over the counter for live stock in farm supply stores. Doxycycline is very good because it successfully fights the biowar/new/emerging/chronic diseases. Like MRSA, Lyme, CFS, Gulf War Illness, MS, arthritis, diabetes, chrones, . This is true. All are produced the same.PERIOD. Most all sell before dates (except food--but not can goods)are simply a marketing ploy to get the consumer to buy new. PERIOD. |

You are a shill, and a liar. Please go pour your bull shit out to someone that is stupid enough to believe you. Which pharma co. do you work for? Veteranarians depend on the drugs being every bit as good as the ones you take for that nasty PMS. Most of them come from the same factory, and the same batches. The worst condition I have seen with pet meds is being out of date. Since the US government studied expiration dates and effecacy and found little or no degradation over 15 years, I'm not worried about that at all. Please go away, the grown-ups are talking.

| Bender User ID: 27778257 11/14/2012 09:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The correct answer is silver Quoting: Anonymous Coward 699674 Oregano Oil and other answers here are incorrect to your question as to the single best Remember, Silver Ions kill anything thats a one celled organism whereas Oregano and others are organic compounds that are very limited and specific in their actions If silver is so effective at killing single celled organisms, couldn't this upset your intestinal track's bacterial content? Sounds sketchy to me, not that the rest of the suggestions sound very good either. Sorry I have no suggestion except a healthy diet and plenty of outdoor exercise. |

| Cowardly Lyin User ID: 20628541 12/09/2012 03:59 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ok, don't buy pet drugs for humans. There, I said it. Having said that, the pills pet vets ship by law must NOT be anything but exactly what they claim to be at the dose they claim to be. When the paramedics arrive on the scene of an overdose, they will looks at the pills on the floor, having no idea where the little kid got them, compare in their book of meds, and if it's penicillin, they will treat the unconscious child for penicillin overdose. Manufacturers would be held liable for the death of this child if they marked up a pill as penicillin, but it was something else. Human doses are easily Google-able. Just type in the drug and what you're taking it for, and it'll show you a half dozen web sites with milligram and time of day dosing. But again, don't do this. The AMA and big pharma spent a LOT of money to make this illegal, so until we can change the law...don't break it. Enough disclaimer? Hope so. |
