Harrys Mom HI, One of the worst things that I did for Felix is to continually bring him to the vet.  I think he may have pulled through without the vet.  All of the antibiotics and drugs just made him so much worse. Zoie my female cat survived Convenia.  It took her 2 years to get her...

Harrys Mom Hi,  I am not sure how long you have been on this website but there is a lot of information on Convenia.  This is a bad drug for cats.  Convenia targets the same bacteria that is automatically in a cats mouth, so when they are given this drug which is a long acting antibiotic, it...

Hi,  Yes the convenia shot could definitely be the problem. I hope your cat has recovered by now.  There are many animals that have not recovered from Convenia including my Felix who died  in 2015 from complications from the convenia shot and shoddy vet care at Banfield. One really important...

Pam Hall, Hi,  I wish I could offer some suggestions to assist. Dont lose hope though, animals have a way of bouncing back.  This is not your fault, it is the vets fault.  They should be aware of the problems with Convenia, and how negatively it effects animals.  IV fluids will help him. ...

Pam, HI,  I would not wait I would bring him to the emergency vet.  The Convenia shot can effect their kidneys and liver.  It is best if they can give him fluids to try to flush the medicine out of him especially if he is having a reaction to the shot.  My cat Felix died after this shot.  Vets...

Dexie, Hi,  Convenia is a dangerous drug and is misused on cats and dogs to an extent that is negligent.  My cat Felix died because of this drug and a careless vet. My one cat Zoe survived and is still alive.  The FDA has the side effects of Convenia listed on their site, kidney and liver...

Maryann, Hi, I am glad that Olive is doing better physically.  Have you considered that some of the meds, maybe the antianxiety meds are what are making her sleep?  The probiotics and other natural drugs also may be making her sleep more....this may be a natural effect of just getting better. ...

Niferno, Hi,  I just read your post about Convenia and how your vet has given your cat 3 bouts of this drug.  I have done quite a bit of research about Convenia, both of my cats were given this drug and one of my cats is dead the other was sick for almost a year because of this drug.  While my...

After reading your post about Olive I thought I would respond.  My cat Felix did the same thing.  I think that as the medicine flows through the kidneys their system gets bogged down and or damaged.  I there is a way to flush out their system I think they would feel better.  Convenia takes such...

HI,  I am so sorry that your kitten is sick.  It sounds like you are taking the right steps to get him feeling better. You can google Convenia FDA.gov.  Pfizer and Zoetis are the makers of the drug but they are not very helpful. It is also in the chemotherapeudic drugs so watch him careful to...

Maryann, HI,  I wanted to caution you about excessive protein as well..this can be hard on the kidneys.  A vet also told me that grain free can be hard on the kidneys as well.  The high protein diet can also bog their system down so that they cant eliminate toxins.  80% protein is not a normal...

I am so sorry about your cat and your sadness.  I also lost my cat, he was given Convenia as well as many other drugs for surgery.  I contacted the FDA who approved Convenia to inform them of how the drug was being used on cats and the effect it was having.  Zoetis and Pfizer are the makers of...

Convenia is in the cats system for 73 days only the antibiotic lasts for 14 days.  He shouldn't be behaving the way he is but he may work his way out of it.  I believe the cats that have the more difficult time are older cats.  I quit bringing my cat to the doctor and after 1 year she is...

It sounds like Penney has an allergy to Convenia.  When my cats received the drug they vomited continuously, diarrhea, lethargy, growling but no discharge from the nose. If you go onto the FDA.gov you can look at research conducted on Convenia as well as the insert which will ell you how it...

Both of my cats were given Convenia, My male cat Felix did not survive (he had other health issues).  Zoie my female cat did survive but was really sick for 2 months. Convenia is a long acting antibiotic that stays in the animals system for 73 days, however the antibiotic only works for 14...

Hi,  Per the drug maker Zoetis and Pfizer.  Convenia is not a broad spectrum drug.  It is only for specific bacteria, if you read the insert and the research that was conducted it is not to be used for many bacteria.  It is not like a ceflosporin or any of the normal antibiotics that are given...

The FDA has a lot of information on the Convenia shot.  Pfizer or Zoetis also are the makers of the injection.  Convenia is only supposed to be used for certain bacteria and does not work for a lot of other bacteria only specific bacteria.  The side effects are anoerexia, vomiting, diarrhea...

Both of my cats got the convenia shot.  Felix dies from complications...not just from convenia but kidney failure.  They also exhibited the same symptoms that you are describing.  Zoie my girl cat is doing a little better...I have put her on regular food Purina dry food for older cats as well as...
