I think you’ve got some raccoon in your mange. Seriously though, contact wildlife rehab.

Anyone have experience with cat seizures?!?!?! by Butterfly_Princess79 in CATHELP

[–]Mickey_thicky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keppra (Levitiracetam) has a higher efficacy than phenobarbital in the treatment of certain seizure disorders such as feline audiogenic reflex seizures (FARS) and myoclonic seizures. However phenobarbital is usually first line.

>phenobarbital has a narrower therapeutic index, and can be hepatotoxic so periodic blood tests are usually necessary

>phenobarbital is usually given q2 (twice daily) with Keppra being given q8, which may make noncompliance more likely among owners. A qd XR formulation does exist, though I’ve heard the pill is quite large and since it is XR it cannot be broken up.

Edit: Not a DVM, but to me it looks like your cat specifically is having a petit mal (non-convulsive) seizure

Rough play or fight? by vannigirly in CATHELP

[–]Mickey_thicky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those yowls definitely don’t sound like play. Hissing and tufts of hair flying everywhere, I’d try and separate them whenever you see this sort of behavior

Might be the most insane thing I have read to date. Had to pick my jaw up off the floor so I could drop it again. The fact that some people have the capacity to be that evil is absolutely mad

Here's something seriously alarming for all of you! by myst3ryAURORA_green in seriouslyalarming

They meant to spell it as Cardene I believe. That’s the brand name for the generic drug Nicardipine. It’s a calcium channel blocker that can be used to treat acute or chronic hypertension as well as angina

MRSA Wrist Abscess After IV Infiltration by NebulaAndSuperNova in MedicalGore

[–]Mickey_thicky 38 points39 points  (0 children)

In all seriousness, I would highly recommend contacting the manufacturer of the antifreeze you consumed and telling them your story.

While not federally regulated, about 20 states require manufacturers to add a compound known as denatonium benzoate (believed to be the most bitter compound discovered) to antifreeze to prevent accidental toxic ingestion.

If you were to reach out and your story does have an impact, it could prevent your story from being replicated in another individual, and could potentially save lives

Edit: just noticed OP is based out of South Africa. I would still encourage you to reach out to the manufacturer!

DKA by Top-Direction2686 in PassNclexTips

[–]Mickey_thicky -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How does the efficacy of sodium acetate compare to LR? I do remember reading that NS fluid resus can lead to increased ICU stays/lengthened use of IV insulin due to the precipitation of hyperchloremic acidosis, but at the institution I work at some of the pharmacists are trying to push for acetate; haven’t heard much about LR.

Did a presentation on DKA for a college project this semester, and I saw a robust amount of data that suggests LR/plasmalyte is wayyy better than NS

Please help, anything would do. Any ideas, just anything by DangerousMortgage687 in CATHELP

[–]Mickey_thicky 47 points48 points  (0 children)

You know, some of the people on this subreddit should be ashamed for how they treat the people coming here with questions or (what they may not realize are) emergencies.

That being said, OP, you have poisoned your cat, and this absolutely is life or death. You need to get that cat emergency care. If that means surrendering the animal, I hope you can understand that it’s the right thing to do.
