human antibiotics for cats

[catsandninetails]

I feed a lot of strays at my door and i have captured most of them and had them needled and neutered even though it was hard as they are kind of wild. Now one of them is sick and has gooey eyes. He eats but I can tell he is sick. None of the others seem sick and they wont ever trust me again to capture them in the humane traps no matter what i try. I have some human antibiotics in capsule form of Amoxicillan 500mg and ciprofloxacin 500mg. Could I sprinkle a little of this on his food over a period of (how many days)??Pls help---Thank-you

My cat has an infection from a bite to his face. He weighs 9lbs. and is 11yrs. old. Can I give him amoxicillin? How much and how often? I cleaned the wound w/ peroxide and applied neosporin.

Hello all,

There is a stray cat that always comes around. I find it at my door when its hungry. I always give it something to eat so it always comes.

I noticed 2 days ago it took a long time to eat, so i noticed it had missing teeth in the lower jaw and one of its fangs was broken or a half.

Today i noticed one of the sides was swollen and there was a black substance coming out of the other side.

I did my research online this seems to be a gum infection and/or abscess of the tooth and very painful for the cat.
I've never grabbed this cat, nor will it let me take it somewhere, it moves tries to escape doesn't like to be grabbed.

Please tell me if there is something i could take, any antibiotic or pain killer or anti inflammation, anything. Unfortunately i have not much knowledge of medicine.

I would like to help the poor thing, breaks my heart see it in pain its such an adorable lovely cat.

Any answer would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Anna

I would get some antibiotics in the cat right away.
If it was me whatever I had because it sounds
like the cat is in very bad condition.
He may have an infected tooth which is causing it and
in that case you would probably have to have the tooth out.
