Sammie is 15 yrs old and has come down with chronic sinus...
Sammie is 15 yrs old and has come down with chronic sinus infection so he has to now be on azithromycin for the rest of his life practically every day . He gets stuffed up and sneezes and can not breathe and could not live very much longer unless I keep him on this ....I am grateful to you for having the Rx med and for your great pricing. I could not have done it if this were not so . Thanks!

Epic Brand is Bitter, But Cat Responds Well
Squatch is older with a chronic sinus infection on his right side, most likely due to a bad tooth (he's too old to go under anesthesia for dental, plus dental specialists are at least 5 hours away). He responds wonderfully to azithromycin liquid. It does not give him the runs. Vet rx Direct has sent us at least 3 brands over the past couple of years. I have tasted a drop myself each time, knowing cats can taste bitter flavors too (I'm an old-time ex vet tech). Squatch has taken all but the Epic Pharma brand well. He absolutely hates it. I tasted it; it's horribly bitter! I told Vet rx Direct about Epic, but that's what was sent again last time. I would have given 5 stars but for the Epic.

The "Awakenings" Antibiotic for Squatch - Works Great!
From UndisclosedComments about Azithromycin Oral Suspension, 600mg, 200mg/5mL, 15mL when mixedSquatch responds to his Azithromycin like the movie "Awakenings". His chronic sinus infection due to a bad tooth (he's too old for surgery/anesthesia) responds starting around Day 4-5 on his Azi, and soon he's back to exploring and singing, as if he was only 10! It's easy to mix and administer; he gets a course roughly every 3 months. He doesn't get diarrhea from it, and it doesn't seem to bother his appetite. We keep an eye out for signs of liver or kidney difficulites due to his age. My one criticism is that the bitterness is masked better in some generic brands better than others, and I wish the manufacturers would work on that. It's not bad enough to drop a star in the rating though, since he's a good sport about it and responds to it so dramatically.-

Works great for my chihuahua w/autoimmune issue
From UndisclosedComments about AzithromycinI use this for my tiny 3lb chihuahua to control her snot bubbles (combined w/daily Benadryl). I divide each bottle into 4 equal parts and make 4 bottles out of it since she only gets .2 ounces/day and once it is hydrated it is only good for 10 days. -
Effective; Will buy again
From UndisclosedComments about AzithromycinPerformed as expected on my senior cat's sinus infection. Good packaging and clear instructions. -
Good but a flavor for cats would be better
From UndisclosedComments about AzithromycinI wish it was a flavor my cat enjoyed more but a nice alternative to the pricey stuff from the vet. -

Could you advise me if this drug can be given to a pregnant cat??
-
The safety of azithromycin during pregnancy in cats has not been fully established. Your veterinarian will weigh the potential risk to the unborn kittens versus the presumed benefit when treating with azithromycin. In humans, the FDA defines azithromycin as a category B drug in pregnancy. A pregnancy category B in humans means that studies conducted in animals have not yet demonstrated a risk to the fetus, but there are no adequate studies in pregnant women; or studies conducted in animals have shown an adverse effects but studies demonstrated in humans have not yet shown a risk to the fetus. Follow the guidance of your veterinarian when considering the use of azithromycin in your cat.

Is it ok to give a diabetic cat the cherry suspension of zithromax before his diabetes has been treated? I noticed that it has sucrose in it.?
-
The azithromycin oral suspension contains sucrose that may affect your cat’s blood sugar levels depending on the dose given and your cat’s condition. A veterinarian would be able to diagnose and assess your cat’s diabetes as well as monitor your cat while he or she is on the azithromycin therapy. Thank you, VetRxDirect
