    Agreed! I can rarely think of a time it was not effective in dogs first time!

    What would your strategy be if the first does did not work?

    Also, off the back of the Q&A chat… what is your strategy to make cats vomit?

    Scott 🙂

    Totally agree.

    It was not something I was aware of, and certainly nothing I thought would be a thing!

    I was even more aware as I was covered in the stuff trying to create a space rocket at the last minute for my 8 year olds school project. I was very surprised how much is swells when dry… I can image it forming a big mass in the intestine!

    Hope you have had a lovely weekend.

    Nikki!

    I knew you would come through on this topic! I was actually thinking of you as I was typing the post!!!

    The needle cap is a great call. You are absolutely right! No need to keep the mouth open too wide in these poor patients.

    Hey Scott.

    It is an interesting side effect. I think it is best to avoid enrofloxacin altogether.

    It is well times that I am replying to this thread… I took a picture today that reminded me of another way we can make cats blind…

    Mouth-gag-cat

    The use of spring-loaded mouth gags in cats can be associated with the development of central neurological deficits, including blindness. In cats, the maxillary arteries are the main source of blood supply to the retinae and brain. We were not using a spring gag in this case, but even plastic gags have been associated with alterations in blood flow:

    Sorry to continue the blindness theme!

    Thank you.

    This may be all I can contribute to the ophthalmology course, so I will take the praise! 🙂

    That is scary stuff with the superglue! It is interesting that owners are OK to do some flushing at home.

    Would you mind sharing the link to that paper!

    Does one case report make me an ophthalmologist?! 🙂

    I love a random case report!

    I know it is just one case, but often highlights interesting points!

    Hey.

    No problem! I do still see enrofloxacin creeping in to some treatment plans in cats, so thought it was worth sharing again.

    I must admit I often reach for marbofloxacin, but that re mostly based with what else is readily on the shelf!

    It is such an important topic.

    I love being able to make changes to how we practice based on good evidence, and feel confident in what we are recommending. 10 years ago, I gave metronidazole to almost every dog that presented with acute diarrhoea!

    This is a really brilliant recent review of the evidence:

    Hello Loren.

    Totally agree. There is not a perfect situation! I think I would be more ‘accepting’ of hyperglycaemia in a cat. I worry that significant changes in PCV might effect decision making more? It is a tricky one!

    Scott 🙂
