Health & WellbeingBailey just got neutered today & was prescribed w/ Co Amoxiclav tablet & Mefenamic Acid 500mg Capsule. Vet said i could just buy the medicines that are for humans & I just want to make sure that they will be safe for Bailey because i thought human me
The green on the fur around Bailey's anus looks a bit like he may have had diarrhea. Keep an eye on his next bowel movement, and if he has diarrhea persisting more than 24 hours, call the vet. Amoxi/Clav is the same thing as Clavamox used for both humans and pets, and should be safe for dogs as prescribed. Mefenamic acid is a human NSAID that is not commonly used in veterinary medicine. It's use in dogs would be off-label and it's safety in pets has not been tested. There are several options for NSAIDs that have been specifically approved as safe for dogs, so I would discuss these with your vet.
