Can you give a cat durvet penicillin injectable?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NO! Only let the VET get medicine for the cat.

This is not really helping to educate people on how to care for their animals. Those who raise farm animals are expected to care for their own animals. Why shouldn't pet owners also learn to take care of their animals? While you should be in contact with a veterinarian you trust, you should be able to provide basic care for your pet.

Cats are mammals. Humans are mammals. When veterinarians prescribe the pink oral penicillin for cats, it is essentially the same stuff your family doctor might prescribe for a child. The only difference is the dosage. There is also an injectable form of penicillin you can get from a farm supply store if you have one in your area. This is made for larger animals and the dosage instructions are not included for a cat. It can be injected into muscle tissue or given orally. You should be able to get the correct dosage from your veterinarian.

How much penicillin do you give a 60 pound dog?

Answer

If your vet has not suggest to you that you give your dog penicillin then DON'T! Self medicating your dog without seeing a vet is extremely dangerous. Dogs can have allergic reactions to medications like humans. See a vet!

If in fact a visit to the vet is not a viable option owed to their exorbitant fees; "self" medicating may well be preferable to taking no action and hoping that the condition self resolves. Below, find the dosage guidelines for dogs. Best wishes to Pooch for a full & speedy recovery.

Side Effects of Penicillin
There are side effects that can be caused by penicillin. Side effects are rare but they can occur so it is important to be aware of them in case your dog develops symptoms.

It is possible for dogs to be allergic to penicillin. In this case, an allergic reaction can be life-threatening so it is crucial to get your dog to a vet immediately. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include problems with breathing and, in severe cases, your dog could go into shock. There is nothing you will be able to do to help your dog yourself, he will need urgent attention from a vet.

Other dogs that aren't allergic to penicillin may also develop side effects. These include:

Wind or flatulence
Digestion problems, including diarrhoea
The development of fungi


Taking the Full Prescription-
Penicillin only works properly if your dog takes the full course that was prescribed. It is common for pets to look much better a few days before the course of medication has ended. However, if you stop giving your dog the penicillin before the course is over then there is a chance the infection might return. At this point, the bacteria causing the infection might be immune to the effects of the penicillin so it will be even harder to cure your dog.

Although it can cause side effects, penicillin is an effective way of treating infections in dogs. Side effects are rare compared to the number of dogs that are prescribed penicillin but they are worth watching out for. Unless your dog has had an allergic reaction or your vet has told you to stop giving your pet the medicine, continue with the prescribed course. Soon, the infection will be gone and your dog can continue living a normal life.

It is an IM injection so it goes into the muscle.

Have you taken your cat into your Veterinarian to have it checked out first? Do not administer antibiotics without your Vet checking out your cat first. Penicillin is not normally the antibiotic of first choice for a cat.

Is it OK to give your dog human penicillin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

2nd Answer:

Never treat your dog at home with antibiotics when you do not know what is going on. It should always be done under a Veterinarian's care. You need to take your dog to see your Veterinarian to check it out. The Vet will know what the proper medication is to treat your dog with & the proper dosage for your dog. Don't try to give your dog any medication at home. You don't know if penicillin is appropriate for your dog's condition nor the proper dosage or if your dog is allergic to penicillin.

1st Answer:

Yes you can but just a small amount. 1 CC per 100 pounds. Give the shot in the hip or thigh muscle. WARNING do not inject in a vein! When you insert the shot pull back on the syringe. If you see blood then take it out and insert the needle somewhere else.

Is moldy bread eatible?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It varies on multiple factors.

To begin, discussing the visible look of the mould.

There is commonly 3 visible colours of mold that rests on our bread. sometimesnit can be just 1 colour. sometimes it can be 2 or 3. some have complained of multiple colours.

the three common colours consumers are generally aware of:

1 . green (as far awareness goes, this is safe unless you have allergies) common side effects are bloating and diahhrea which usually passes within 24hrs. sometimes 48 hours. (green mold hosts a minimal risk on bread, provided you dont eat if its been left to migrate and multiply itself over 2 or more days.

2. white (this is basically the same as a yellow or amber alert for a lot of threat risk potential). 30% of consumers will commonly suffer with diahhrea, bloating, fever, and/or vomiting. this mold has a lot of contaminent spores. it is still however edible and not life threatening unless the consumer has a lower than usual immune system. When stated edible. the consumer should be safe provided it is a sandwich from mold that has only become slightly visible on the bread itself. any more than just specs and the consumer may need to hug a bowl for a day to even 4 days varying.

3. black (this has a red code for health risk) Black mold, whether it be found on food or objects around the home, is highly contaminated with dangerous spores and toxins. just breathing near this mould can affect and INFECT any animals lungs. other organs such as kidneys, bladder, intestines will also suffer from this mold. breathing it is toxic enough. Eating it... is life threatening. he consumer could fins themselves curled up into a ball... crawling to the loo or worse, collapsing and becoming unconscious... if someone believes they have consumed black mould. call your local doctor/practitioner immediately for advise... if unable to contact the local services. the consumer should contact the out of hours services. in the united kingdom. this will either be 111 (local service for east midlands and east yorkshire region) or nhs direct. in the United States or Canada... (please add numbers as i do not know them)

Other factors

a) the legnth of time the mould has been visible and potentially growing (going by 12hr intervals up to 3 days.... after 3 days it is safer to throw it away. by this point more than a quarter of the bread would be visibly mouldy and this is in no safe criteria whatsoever)

b) the damp feel of the bred by the consumers own hand (how soggy the bread is)

c) the temperature the bread has been left sitting with (anything higher than 20 degrees and the mould can develop at a harmfully alarming pace)

d) the smell (dont attempt to smell any form of mould. fungal/bacterial pneumonia can be caught this way along with other life threatening illnesses) basically if you open the loaf and the vapours are like a slap in the face. get rid of the loaf immediately without even looking at it.

Does an orange peel contain penicillin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I don't think so, I think the mold of penicillin grows on oranges and bread if you leave them in a 70 degree temperature. It will grow a blue green algae, penicillin.. That needs to be purified further.. Orange peels contains all sorts of awesome oils that control the growth of bacterias, etc.

Why does bread get moldy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer

If a piece of bread (or really any type of food for that matter) is left unprotected in the open air, germs and bacteria will infect it and take it over. The bacteria will form green or brown mold.

If a piece of bread (or really any type of food that contains moisture) is left unprotected in the open air, (can happen during manufacture as well) mold spores will land on it. Mold is a member of the Fungi Group or Kingdom depending on the classification scheme. The mold, finding a suitable environment will use the moisture and nutrients in the bread to reproduce. Bacteria do not produce mold.

Has the internet changed the way people live?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Easily! The world has become much smaller since the creation of internet. You can research just about anything without ever leaving home; vacations, hotels, medicine, any subject in school. You can find answers to questions you are clueless about...on sites like Wiki. You can visit art gallaries, map locations, map sites with cameras to check everything from jail cell behavior to squirrel behavior; views on freeways, to views of constellations. There are times you can log in and talk to astronauts WHILE they are in space. As for students, you now do joint projects with other kids all around the world in REAL time...you talk to each other, as it happens and can watch each other's expressions. You can write letters...without stamps, make calls...without phones, text message to phones, watch TV, and download songs all without ever leaving your chair. There are businesses now that are totally run from home and still connect to people around the world and where else could people in 10 countries all bid on some bizarre thing on auctions and work in the last minute to outbid each other. Let's not forget banking, applying for college, loans, buying cars, checking out library books...just download them onto your IPOD to save time, and do all this while you have pictures being sent out to print, answering mail, and watching a movie in different windows. Yep, just a little change.

How old was Alexander Fleming when he discovered penicillin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Fleming did not invent penicillin, he discovered it by accident when it ruined an experiment he was doing trying to culture bacteria. It took many others and the expediency of wartime emergency funding to invent the technologies needed to mass produce penicillin as a drug.

Many later antibiotics related to penicillin were later invented in labs, but penicillin is not anyone's invention as it is a natural substance made by a type of fungus.

Does penicillin cure athletes feet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Penicillin has no effect on the fungus that causes athletes foot. Penicillin itself is derived from a fungus. Penicillin is anti-bacterial, it affects bacteria. Penicillin may be used if the athletes foot is serious enough to cause a bacterial infection. Anti-bacterials can cause athletes foot and other fungal infections to worsen by killing the "good" bacteria we all have on our skin and in our bodies. Some of those bacteria feed on fungi.

Well, usually people who are prescribed antibiotics from a doctor take more than they are needed to take in one sitting, because they're feeling bad, or want it to go away faster. I would suggest not od on anything, just to be safe. :)
