HR, how is she?? Here is a list of what I would do and/or have treated
1- heating pad, temp for Cats 100 -102
2- Pedialyte. 1 teaspoon every hour, get a syringe at the pharma 1 teaspoon is 4-5 CC's depending on the spoon, not important, its not medicine..
3- Baytril, Atropine, and Dextramethasone liquid form, not pill
3.1 Baytril Dosage: Need approx Cat's weight...MG is the same as 1 CC / divided 3 of Cats weight is her dosage..
Cats: This is a simple antibiotic for infections, bacteria, broad spectrum really which covers many kinds of infections/bacterias, use it on my birds when sick.
For susceptible infections:
a) 5- 20 mg/kg per day PO, may be given once daily or divided and given twice daily
(q12h). Treatment should continue for at least 2-3 days beyond cessation of clinical
signs, to a maximum duration of therapy is 30 days. (Package insert; Baytril??Bayer)
b) Enrofloxacin: 2.5 - 5 mg/kg PO or IM q12 h
Avoid or reduce dosage of these drugs in animals with severe renal failure; avoid in
young animals or in pregnant or breeding animals (Vaden and Papich 1995)
3.2 Atropine Dosage: suppose to be IM, you can pop one drop in mouth..This is if your cat has a low heart beat from shock, you can tell belive me..If not, leave her be..No idea if they sell this at the Pharma or not..
Cats:
As a preanesthetic adjuvant:
a) 0.022 - 0.044 mg/kg IM or SQ (Muir ))
b) 0.074 mg/kg IV, IM or SQ (Package Insert; Atropine Injectable, S.A. - Fort Dodge)
c) 0.02 - 0.04 mg/kg SQ, IM or IV (Morgan 1988)
For treatment of bradycardias:
a) 0.022 - 0.044 mg/kg IM, SQ, or IV prn; or 0.04 mg/kg PO tid-qid (Morgan 1988)
b) 0.02 - 0.04 mg/kg SQ, IM or IV q4-6h (Miller 1985)
For treatment of cholinergic toxicity:
a) 0.2 - 2.0 mg/kg ; give 1/4th of the dose IV and the remainder SQ or IM (Morgan 1988
3.3 Dextramethasone 5CC divided by 3 by weight....That's the dosage, maybe 0.05 CC, one drop PO/Mouth...This is a steroid like Prednisone, used for many things, also shock and Inflammation..I actually use this for my nerve pain and had to use it on one of my birds with head trauma, works very well!!
Cats:
For endotoxic or septicemic shock:
a) Dexamethasone sodium succinate: 5 mg/kg IV (Jenkins 1985)
As adjunctive therapy for feline neoplasias (lymphosarcoma, acute lymphoid
I still have my medical books from school, and I know medications, so that is my advice...Or, again, just keep her body temp up, be sure she is not dehydrated and gether to a VET asap tomorrow unless there is a 24/7 open now..You can check for dehydration by pulling her fur just after the neck area, see if it stay up, or goes down slow. If so, she is dehydrated and needs fluids, if it goes right down,she is fine..Again, pedialyte is the way to go because it also has electrolytes in it..You can check for shock at her gums..If white or pale grey she is shocked, if pink no worries..
