Vetrenarian recommended
Our vetrenarian recommended we buy our Albon from PetMeds after we received several puppies from a hoarding case that were ill. The recommended time frame for the babies to be medicated worked. All are recovering nicely. He knew we had a lot to treat & wanted to save us money due to the cost per canine. Shipping had an error, but PetMeds corrected quickly.

How to give it to a feisty cat
Swaddle the cat tightly, legs disabled. Holding him in your left arm like a baby, simply shoot it in by degrees on the left or right side of the mouth. Your cat will happily swallow.it. It is really that simple. A lot of vets know nothing about this. I had a big Maine Coon cat, and he was a big.baby once he settled down. Like a "thunder shirt", swaddling actually comforts cats.

Did the trick
We had two lambs with bad diarrhea from coccidia, the medicated feed was not helping. Our vet prescribe Albon and both are now recovered and out in the field.

Great
It is significantly cheaper to buy this from pet meds than to get it from my vet. One of our pups had a parasite so the Dr. said all the dogs (7) had to take this and it cost about $400 for around 2 pints. All the dogs lick it from the syringe and the dogs that freak out around the syringe I just put it in a small dipping bowl and they lick it out.

seems to be helping
Shitzu..our dog had quit eating,drank some,very little,but horrible diarrhea--water for 2-3 days. never should have let go that long on a small dog but luckily able to get into vet. she's on a half diarreahea pill and this.rather than waste all the medicine, we mix in ice cream.vet said she had a parasite. didn't say we couldn't mix with food so we did. she really seemed some better by evening of the first night. vet had also given her a hydrating treatment which helped immensely. i think the albon is working.l

Albon
ok, how does anyone else give this to a difficult cat???? I have tried mixing in wet food with results of Tom NOT eating. even the vet was unable to use a syringe to give Tom this orally, Tom is a very feisty cat who will not even put up with a "normal" vet exam.
