I feed at any given time up to 25 stray cats. Most now live here with me but they are outside. My feed bill runs usually a hundred a month. It started in 2016 when there were a pair of sweet little cats that were bones and fur. I tried to feed them to save them but they were so feral that the other cats would beat them to it. Sadly they died. I still cry at the thought of them. I vowed to always put more than enough out so that wouldn't happen again.
I can only afford to feed them and house them but can't afford vet bills.
I came upon a medicine that works for them in some cases. It is called fish mox. It is now becoming wildly known for its powers on other than fish. Unfortunately the cost has jumped extremely because a prescription is not needed and word of mouth. I lost a whole generation of kittens from upper respiratory infection and probably related to feline herpes. This is insidious as the mucous from the eyes and nose covers their face eventually their mouth and nose and smothering them. I am treating a baby right now that seems to be recovered from it and another baby has just died from it. Getting the right amount is the biggest problem as if you google it the directions are different depending on what you read. Currently I am giving the dosage for ten days. The previous baby died because as directed by another site I gave the meds for only 5 days. It comes in 250 mgs and 500 mgs capsules. Seems depending on weight the dosage is prescribed. I have taken this also but not deluded in water as with the animals.
Fish mox is amoxicillin for animals and it does have disclaimers but I feel it is only for their protection that they disclaim it for humans. I have used it off and on for years. This is simply my experience with it and to maybe help those that can't afford better. Believe me there is so much suffering with the cats I have and it is heartbreaking that I can only do what I do. I hope this helps others. If you need help with dosage please feel free to ask me anything. You can also google it for more info.
