VIRTUAL VET HOSPITAL

 
Posted by: Dawn 7/21/08
This is a follow up to my cat Charlie, having tested positive to E-coli in his nasal culture...he was given an injection of Convenia, and 2 weeks later for his follow up,was no better, so the Vet suggested Gentamicin with the use of a nebulizer.... Anyone used this or know about it? Thanks   Dawn N Charlie

Comments
Nebulization is great. Gentamicin is a drug with many scary side effects when used systemically. Animals with healthy kidneys, however, can often be safely dosed through a nebulization system because it functions more like a topical than a systemic antibiotic. I would, nonetheless, urge that you have very up-to-date labwork to make sure his kidneys are in tip-top shape.
