Cat Chat Feline Forum

Hi, I may be a bit late but I give Atopica straight down the throat followed immediately by evening meal and it works wonders with no problems at all. Been doing it this way for three years now, on and off, due to worrying she'd miss some in her food x Hi ukmisfit We've had to resort to straight do...

Thanks for the reply. I'm at a loss for poor Snowball (not my choice of name). He is so ready for his forever home and it is gutting to see him suffering. Hopefully the rescues vet will have a plan C as nothing seems to be working so far. It would be such a shame if he was just stuck in the cone fo...

Thank you Mollycat and Susand. Good to hear that Zoetis have been running trials but a shame that it has drawn this conclusion, for now. Susand, you have very little option but to continue, hopefully Harvey will continue to do well on it. It's so frustrating that feline atopy treatment is so far beh...

I did think of you and your Harvey, especially as you said it was the only thing he could have.

Can your vet contact the company rep to see if they get more info? My specialist said they wouldn't give much away.

It's good to chat with someone who has been through a similar process. As the food trial was inconclusive Tilly is now on Royal Canin vet Skin and coat biscuits which is boosting her fatty acids and acting as another barrier defence for her skin. We are still moussing her a couple of times a week wi...

Well to be fair, it’s not commonly given via injections and studies show that it’s not got great absorption via this route, although absorption via the oral route isn’t great either. Steroids, on the other hand are commonly given as depot injections every few weeks instead of orally, which is worth...

I had no idea that cyclosporine could be injected!! And the vet didn't mention it either... We did try approaching compounding pharmacies to see if we could get her dosage in tablet form but none in the UK will do it, apparently if we lived in USA it would be no problem :roll: The specialist said we...

Adopted the sweetest little 6-year old ex-farm cat a couple of years ago and she came with signs of allergies, with the shelter treating her with steroids. After several bouts of steroids with our current vets it became clear that she needed more specialised help. We have been seeing a skin speciali...
