Common Questions and Answers about Antibiotics dogs
antibiotics
May be an abscess, infection, swollen lymph node. Either way, yes, you should have the Vet check it. May have to be lanced and the dog given antibiotics.
Can I use Besivance in my dogs eyes? He has an eye infection. He is totally blind and is 16 years old.
We are not in a position to do invasive diagnostics due to our dogs age, so we are just hoping the antibiotics work. We are finally going to repeat his bloodwork later this week, but our vet has said not to expect a miraculous recovery on the blood counts this soon. That it can take months for them to drop, and that he may need at least another month on the antibiotics before we see real progress.
It alsmost sounds like kennel cough. Is the white stuff foamy? The tooth loss sounds like her adult teeth are coming in??? Can you look in her mouth? Have you seen the lostteeth? If they are baby teeth they will be small and very sharp. When is she due back at the vet? She'll probably need antibiotics for the cough. Bordatella vaccine to prevent kennel cough. Sometimes it takes a couple of rounds of antibiotics for the cough. My dog did.
My dog has a chronic throat infection since 8mo. and is now 4 yrs old. It's very bad again. She's had scopes down throat, cultures, blood tests and taken to Michigan State Small Animal Hospital for cat scan and more tests. Antibiotics don't totally clear it and it comes back. I almost wonder if it' ever goes away, but that possibly the antibiotics, pain med, and antibiotics helps it get better for awhile but not enough to totally clear the problem.
I am here (again) at the Chronic Kidney Failure in Dogs pg, but I don't see any "join" button. I have looked several times on different days. I did join some part some weeks ago, because I get automatically logged in when I click the favorite button. But what should I do now to join the ckf in dogs group?
With an older dog, once the vet got the tartar off, it might be discovered your dog needed some teeth extracted. Now dogs do get along with this quite well, generally. It has even been known that dogs who have had ALL their teeth removed to have a new lease of life, and their general health improve, when they are free from the pain, they often eat better and are fitter. Given some time, the tender gums harden up a lot, and quite often they can start to eat quite normally after a while.
He has been on denamarin and a liver friendly diet of royal canin hepatic kibble. We tried several rounds of antibiotics and the alp just kept rising. Two months ago my vet put him on ursodial. Within 4 weeks, his alt was back to normal and his alp had dropped to 3900. 4 weeks more and the alt has continued to drop and his alp is now down to 3400. Don't know why it's working but it is a relief to see the numbers drop for a change.
Is she and older dog by any chance....? If she is, I would have the vet check her out for vestibular disease....this disease will affect a dogs equilibrium. It will typically affect older dogs. I really don't know much about it, but a friend of mine had a dog who was diagnosed with this disease...so...it's just a thought.
Here is some info I found on Vertigo and possible causes...along with the website......
Vertigo can have an endless variety of causes.
He responds well to antibiotics and recovers but it has never gone away, it comes backk a few days after finishing the course.
He has been to the Vetinary Hospital (very expensive) colonoscopy, with many probes taken from throughout the intestine.
HE is on the Steroid Prednisolon now with Metronidizal (anti biotic) and also ant acid (Ranitidin)
He has been on this anti biotic and steroid before. But I think it is going to be a long term thing though the vet expects a cure.
Your Vet will be able to determine if there is any infection or not.....If so, oral antibiotics are used.......Left untreated a rupture is common because the fluid cannot be released & it builds up with infection.....
The odor you smell is the anal fluid leaking out.......Please, see your vet tomorrow.....Impacted Anal glands are very painful....All the licking and scratching can also lead to infection.....Expressing them is a simple procedure.....Make the call.....
I get more antibiotics go throught it again, it heals , stop the antibiotics and its back yet again.Four times now over four months. Its frustrating and anoying but all I am interested in is my dog being healed and ok.. I am going back again tomorrowto the vets and trying to be delicate , I have asked to see another vet, second opinion I guess youd call it. I have insurance there so cannot realy afford to go somewhere else.
Your vet will examine your dog, then clean your dogs wounds by shaving away the hair, and cleaning with betadine and alcohol. Your vet will also give you antibiotics for any infection that may be present and your dog will heal.
About 8 years ago my dog had mange The vet did a skin scrape but it didn't show mange, but he sure thought it looked like mange so he gave me this wash for her and my other two dogs (so they wouldn't get it). That stuff smelled so bad we had to put the dogs outside. I mentioned our problem to my sister, who is a beautician, and she told me to use the shampoo that we were using for ourselves on the dog.
Hi I'm trying to get advice from ppl that had experiences with their dogs having blister's.......my dog jus had puppies she was discharging so I put a diaper on her I notice yesterday she has a infected looking blister with a horrible smell on her breast i called the vet she told me I can use a antibiotics cream I can't take my dog in to Monday I need advise I'm scared her puppies might get sick ........
Reasons for Coughing:
OK, For starters, you need to rule out Heart Problems....The xray will not only show the heart, but also the lungs...This is important....
With Heart Disease, the weak heart cannot pump as well...Fluid builds into the lungs causing the cough..The cough is usually MOIST like they're choking on congestion...Actually, they are...The cough is worse in the mornings & during periods of running, playing & excitement....Fluid will show in an x ray of the lungs.....
You did not state you consulted a Vet. Did the Vet think you she needed an antibiotic and prescribe one ? Antibiotics should be used with caution in pregnant dogs as they cross the placental barrier and can affect the puppies development or worse. I have heard Baytril and Tetracycline should not be given. Have heard of Amoxicillin being used. I have only had to use antibiotics on a couple of my females post-whelping.
Depends on what you are treating and maybe no treatment is necessary.
I have tears in my eyes as my dogs and cat are my ‘babies”, I can’t have children, I feel like they are mine, yet I can’t help her/them! I already know one needs $3000 level 3 dental! (My husband has a cracked molar and my teeth need checking……etc!
no dental plan here!) No my baby chihuahua went in for ingrown nail and when Vet checked her mouth, WOW. Her left front molar is wrapped around by “hair, etc.” at root, loose it is huge!
She was diagnosed with lyme (the blue spot on the test was so light they had to test twice to see it) and I gave her the course of antibiotics. After 3 months, she still was acting lethargic with the same hind leg issues and I took her back to the vet. I was told her knees slip out easily (especially the left) but slide back in so just to watch her.
5 weeks ago my dog had a gastral infection that was treated with antibiotics and anti nausea medication. She had recoverd and had a relaps of the same symthoms. Is Pine Nut Oil or Manuka Honey an alternative remedy for stomach ulsers? Is the advertisement for these product true? If you are taking synthetic antibiotics do they sterilize and kill all bacteria? do you need to introduce good bacteria like Acidophilus into the stomach?
Great question.
First off, this will be her second or third heat. Heat cycles start at 6 months old. This is potentially a uterine infection called a pyometra. It is very serious and needs a veterinarian's attention asap. She will need to be spayed.
