Azithromycin dosing in dogs
Common Questions and Answers about Azithromycin dosing in dogs
zithromax
This is a good question and the answer is that this is almost certainly effective therapy for chlamydial infection, HOWEVER, treatment of chlamydia with azithromycin has not been formally studied using this dosing schedule. Soon after azithromycin was released, it was shown that taking a Z-pack, consisting of 500 mg on day one, followed by several days of 250 mg per day was slightly less effective than a single 1.0 gram dose.
Determining a dosage of tramadol for dogs is an exercise in futility. As with people, if the dog has a history of seizures it is important to let your vet know this, and they will likely tell you about alternatives.
While the dosage amounts vary from dog to dog, the tramadol dosage for dogs can be put into effect by using the dog’s weight as the determinant. The usual range is .5 - 1.8mg per pound.
I can only imagine the frustration of dealing with a diurectic in a pet, but your veterinarian obviously thought the medication was needed at that dosing level.
You can, though, post this question in the Ask A Vet Expert forum and get some opinions from veterinarians across the country. They would be able to help guide you with information you can share with your veterinarian at home and questions that you might ask your veterinarian.
Good luck with your sick little one!
Human grade fish oil supplements are made from exactly the same ingredients (usually!) as the ones for dogs. But check ingredients to make sure there is nothing in there that shouldn't be, and can harm dogs....such as xylitol etc.
Pure fish oil is okay. But keep the capsules or bottle of oil out of the light, preferably in the refrigerator to prevent rancidity/free radicals, etc.
There is some information, and information about dosages here:

As for itching they can have antihistamines WITHOUT DECONGESTANTS in them. Ask you vet for dosing on any over the counter one such as benadryl (diphenhydramine) or Tavist (clemastine) or Chlortrimeton (chlorpheniramine) BUT most important get your pup on oral antibiotics and antifungals along with a good topical ear med like otomax or for really bad yeast clotrimazole drops. Also try cleansing the ear with a mixture of Domeboro solution.
I was researching Trichomoniasis online and one website mentioned that Azithromycin is one treatment for it. Since I was given Azithromycin for the Chlamydia, would this have also cured the Trichomoniasis as well? If not, is there any way a doctor would prescribe me the Trichomoniasis medication without testing? I have read that a swab test is needed to diagnose Trichomoniasis, and I've heard swab testing is incredibly painful so I'd like to avoid that if possible.
My dog had mange and the vet gave me this awful, awful smelling stuff to wash her in. He also had me wash my other two dogs in it even though they didn't have any symptoms. I don't remember what it was because it was 8 years ago, but it didn't work anyway. My sister, who is a beautician, told me to wash them with Nioxin. The shampoo she and I both use. She told me why, but I don't remember exactly.
He had pain with urination and came up positive for mycoplasma genitallium. I have done doxy and azithromycin and still came up positive for mycoplasma genitallium and ureaplasma. my partner and I are finishing up 14 days on Moxi and I am still having cramping. My partner is still having testicular pain. So I’m guessing this didn’t work either. I would assume my symptoms should be cleared up right after the treatment, right? Anyone have success getting any other medications in the USA?
or anything to be terribly worried about, and will resolve itself naturally once the hormone surge balances back to normal -it can be a trigger for other problems later in life, in middle-age, or older, possibly even mammary cancer.
The definite way to stop it happening in the future is to have her spayed. That would also give her good protection against any possible health threats later. Unless, of course, you want to breed her.
Azithromycin in a dose of 1000 mg is one of the recommended therapies for NGU. the other is doxycycline, 100 mg twice daily for 7 days.
I have just started takeing care of my mother in law who is in stage 4 breast cancer and her dr gave her Morphine SO4 IR 15mg one tablet every 3 hours and Morphine SO4 ER 30ENDO one tablet every 12 hours and I am confused on how to give them to her, she says I can give them to her at the same time and I am worried about it causing an overdose and I am having a hard time reaching her dr for instruction on how to give it to her, do i give her one first and then wait a few hours to give the other
Sorry to be so abrupt but ibuprofen, the active ingredient in motrin, is EXTREMELY toxic to dogs! Even a small dose can lead to events that will kill him.
It's best to check with your vet first on dosing, but he CAN have human aspirin as long as it's either buffered or enteric coated, like Ascriptin. But don't give him any other type of human OTC pain reliever because they are just not formulated for dogs.
Is "Zpack" azithromycin? I've been pulsing Zith since Feb., and it's still effective in me. I started pulsing Tindamax last week and barely made it through my 1st pulse as it hit me pretty hard. I resume it on Monday.
I've been on and off plaquenil a couple of time during my treatment. The first time I tried it it was way too much for me. I recently did a shourt course of it with much more mild Herxing, a good sign that I'm much better than I was before.
Some substances might be harmful to dogs without being harmful to humans. Or the dosing might be completely different and not just a simple matter of adjusting for the lesser body weight of a dog.
There are a few veterinarians that use herbs. It would be good if you could get a consultation with one of them. I don't really know where to direct you. You would probably just need to do an internet search.
Good luck. It is nice that you care so much about your dogs.
Possibilities include non-STD urinary tract infection (rare), prostate problems, and anxiety, which can magnify otherwise trivial or even normal body sensations that would not otherwise be noticed or a cause for worry. If it persists, get professionally evaluated.
I still would have recommended against both azithromycin treatments, but that's water under the bridge so no point in worrying about it now.
Thanks for the thanks. I'm glad to have helped.
hes fine and looks great still every1 thinks hes about 6 as he still really really active however probably for the past 9-12 months ive noticed that after hes been laying down he gets up and he has a limp in his front leg he ends up walking if off at first i thaught it was how he slept on it plus we have wooden floors through the house which i thaught may of added to this but after it became more frequent it occured it could be what i mentioned in the title, his sister who was a year younger t
After taking Azithromycin and getting a shot in my butt and waiting 7-8 days is it safe for me to receive oral sex from a female even if my symptoms cleared up the next day I took them and after being treated and given a shot and if I got treated within 5 days in noticing something is my chance of getting rid of a STD higher since I reacted on it faster and after waiting 7-8 days after taking azithromycin and getting a shot can not use a condom and still be safe even when the symptoms cleared up
I was diagnosed with Chlamydia about a week ago. They gave me Azithromycin, 4 tablets at 250mg to take all at once. I took them and have severe stomach cramping and nausea, and ended up getting sick about 45 to an hour after taking the last pill... hoping that I would have already digested it before I got sick. The stomach pain lasted the rest of the day. It's been about 3 days now since I have taken it, but I still have that "burning" sensation after I urinate.
I guess the medicine was prescribed by a holistic (Herbal Vet)? Did they suggest how to administer it? Could you call them and ask for advice?
If they weren't prescribed, I don't mean to sound "know-it-all" (because I don't) -but many herbs are bad news for dogs, and some that are fine for humans can be actually toxic for dogs. So be very careful.
I just received my chlamydia treatment in the form of 4 tablets to be taken in one dose of Azithromycin. I starting menstruating today and I didnt know if there would be any reason this would affect the effectiveness of the drug. Also my partner was just treated yesterday...How long before we can resume having sex?
You are correct there is a growing body of evidence and consensus among some vets that the absence of testosterone in castrated or aged male canines has profound adverse health effects. There is a vet in Florida, Dr. David Bieber, who is treating older large breed dogs. He is seeing tremendous overall improvements in their health through normalizing their hormonal balance. Unfortunately, he wants $2500 and a non-disclosure agreement from your vet to explain his protocols.
today, i had a severe pain on the left side of my chest. like in my left breast, extending towards the side and back. it's constant pain and i feel like vomiting a bit because of that pain. it got so severe that i had to lie down and then it felt a bit better but it's still throbbing. i recently got put on antibiotics (azithromycin) for a throat infection, but these pains are not a side effect.
