Glad all went well and the boys are safely home.
Praying for a speedy recovery for Patrick now.

I think they have given me the wrong size tablets. I’ll have to call them tomorrow and check.

They’ve given me 80mg tablets and I think I only need 20mg ones because I’ve got to use half a tablet and it says I need a 10mg dose.

Whoops !

It's good you know what you're doing @weepweeps , you're not going to give Patrick the wrong dose.

Thank you.

The label says give half a tablet twice a day.

But I read the going home info sheet the vet says 10mg dose.

Most people would not bother to read that.

Morning, how is he today?

CTWC · 2026-10-28T07:44:21+0000

Well done noticing the medication error, it makes you worry doesn't it

weepweeps · 2026-10-28T07:55:13+0000

Morning. He’s up and munching veggies.

All seems well at the moment. I’ll be off to the vets soon to sort out the antibiotics. Then I’ll flush it.

He’s eating very slowly but I’m happy he has an appetite.

A side note - the vet won’t give me Zithromax. She said it’s a “top shelf” antibiotic.

So I hope the antibiotic she has given me is strong enough. It could be a 6-8 week course. It’s Quiflor (marbofloxacin).

I’m glad Patrick has had a comfortable night and is munching today.

I hope he continues to have a good recovery x

Up and munching is a good sign.
I hope the antibiotics are strong enough but know you'll be monitoring him closely for any signs that indicate otherwise

So pleased that he is up and about and eating! We had a bad experience with zithromax with Bramble, completely knocked him off his food! Hope everything goes well, thinking of you x
