if i may hijack...the cat that has lived on my porch for 8 years is getting old and likely will die soon. he's lost 2 teeth.
he is in pain which is clear because he is drooling a lot and can only eat soft food.
i'd like to ease his pain without using a bullet, yet.
vet bills are a bitch.
anyone know of a good antibiotic and pain reliever?
Quoting: SurfacetoAir Yes he more than likely has stomatitis. I feral I take care of has this. Buy some Fish Clindamycin on ebay. Give one pill every day, break capsule in soft food and mix. For natural pain and inflammation relief Vitamin D3 combined with Omega-3 fish oil are two of the most potent anti inflammatory agents known. Tumeric also works. dosage? ty The clindamycin comes in 150 mg capsules, normal dose is 5-10mg per pound every 24 hours. Omega-3 between 50 and 220 mg/kg Tumeric 10mg to 20mg per pound of cat split in half dose in morning and other in evening. I would avoid the Vitamin D as it is touchy and some cats can have a reaction, though it is good as an anti inflammatory. Too much will kill them. So make sure the omega 3 does not have vitamin d. I think you will find that the continued use of the clindamycin clears it up. Some cats can be on antibiotics for life, especially with stomatitis.
