i think u would have to feline specific antibotics, some antibotics can be used for both dogs and humans and im sure if same for cats, but u would need to know which ones are safe to give, if the medicine u give isnt suitable for cats it could be lethal . vets would be best option, if u cant afford , maybe try ring him and ask his advice maybe wont charge u for over fone. it would be great idea to use some tablets u dont know are for ur cat. firstly , dog tablets may not even help ur cat make her better, or worse , it may make it sicker. dont want to freak u out but cant mess around with pets health without knowing consequences

Antibiotics will not help. Feline Leukemia is a problem with his immune system and it is something he will never get rid of. It is dangerous to give animals medication that was not prescribed for them. Your cat needs to see a vet...if you do not have the money then maybe you should try to find him a home that can afford to help him.

Can I give my 13 yo cat my dog's anbibiotic?

No, since the medicine is only proven to work in dogs instead of cats. Here's a prime example: Remember that episode of Malcom in the Middle when Dewey had to watch that fat guy's cat? Dewey was trying to intimidate the cat to take it's ear mite meds. So Dewey puts a drop in his ear and it hurts like hell and drives the cat out of the house.

No. That medication was prescribed for your dog. It was made specifically to help dogs. It could just make it worse.

Talk to the Vet about it.

It's possible that the anti-biotic could be safe for kitties.

What you should do is call the vet and see if they recommend a dose for it. If not, see if they can give you the name of a med that is kitty approved.

It may be cheaper to pick it up at a human pharmacy instead of the vet.

If you have a good relationship with this vet, they should be aware of the cost/stress of having a special needs pet. Hopefully they can work with you.

don't give your CAT antibiotics meant for a dog!

my friends mother did this once (purely by accident because she kept their meds next to each other) %26amp; it almost killed the cat!!!!

call your vet, explain what's going on with your cat! if need be, let your vet know you don't have the $ right now but your cat needs care...

one of my kitties had an itchy area on her shoulder a few years ago %26amp; what the vet told me to use was the same meds my dad used for his psoriasis...however, i didn't use it until it was ok'd by the vet
