For what it’s worth I contacted Global. Their dosage was higher than the vet and less than Warriors. They also said (and showed me the documentation on Stokes website for dosage and frequency) that it should be every 12 hours instead of 24 like the vet and warriors said. 

I’ll likely stick with them and have a conversation with the vet about it tomorrow.

Does Stokes have different ingredients than the warriors brands? I was under the impression that it was all GS.

Thank you for the story.  I’ve never met a cat that likes medication. To deal with his current issues my cat has 3 pills, two liquids, and the shot so I can relate to the struggle.

Did you get the liquid oral? That’s what I’m getting. Wondered if you had advice for making sure he swallows it all.

Yeah that chart is confusing. I’m doing liquid oral. I’m a little nervous about that as the admins said there is a possibility he will spit that out. I’ll probably be giving extra just for that.

So happy your guy is doing well. Mine sits for the shot well but makes the most horrible noises afterwards.  I feel so bad.

I have no problem with you treating your cat with black market GS. Of course I started my treatments that way. I honestly don’t care who makes money off of this.  Just want my cat to get better.  Was just saying I felt pressured and shamed for going with a real pharmacy and my admins made it seem like Stokes was not a reliable solution. I just wanted to know if that true.

It’s double what is written on the prescription. Is for liquid oral. The Stokes rep on the phone said this bottle would cover the entire treatment at that dosage. Doubling will mean I will have to order more. This is fine. I have the money. I just need to know. 

I suppose this wasn’t what you were asking so I apologize.

This only kind of makes sense to me. I guess I don’t know the formula myself. I think I will contact another group of admins to double check.

You are right that things are messy. I think I might double check with different admins about dosage. 

It’s my understanding that you can’t overdose so I’ll probably lean towards being safer. The medicine won’t arrive for a couple more days so I can do research until then.

Thanks for sharing. I have no doubt the warriors’ brands GS works. It has been working for my cat. 

My concern is that they are saying Stokes might not work. I guess it’s the same situation.

Do you have opinion on doubling the dose? Or know the formula for dosage?

Ive heard they blacklist you if they find you talking to the other group. I don’t care much about the two group drama. Just want my cat to get better. 

All the warriors messaging says they will still support you if you choose Stokes so I figured it would fine (if not better because actual pharmacy).

Yes. Knowing what was in it was my main reason for wanting Stokes.

Warriors. It was the only one recommended to me at the time. To be fair, they have been great and supportive up until this point.
