What’s the difference in cephalexin and simplicef
Cephalexin and Simplicef are both cephalosporins, so they are the same group of antibiotics, but cephalexin is the generic name for a 1st generation cephalosporin and Simplicef is a trade name for Cefpodoxime which is a 3rd generation cephalosporin (so it is a newer drug) and works better in some circumstances. Here is more information on both drugs. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=538 https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=2038 I hope that was helpful! Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

I accidently gave my 70 lb dog a second dose of 150 mg of simplicef. Do I need to be worried?
You may see some vomiting and/or diarrhea. More serious toxicity is not a concern with a double dose of this antibiotic. Fast Milo for 24 hours then feed a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve if necessary.

I wish you all the best and hope that you can find an affordable price for your pets medication. Take care!

My Australian Shepherd has a bad infection around where her collar would be. It started as a circle then became worse and has a patch next to her eye and in her ear. She is on Simplicef now. Vet did skin scrape
This is likely to be either a bacterial or a mite infection (what is the result of the skin scrape?) and should resolve with long course of antibiotic and specific topical treatment (ointment or shampoo). The antibiotic you veterinarian is given is correct and it is a good choice of treatment. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

A vet has already prescribed 20Mg Robenacoxib for our dog. We want to buy the repeat tablets online but I think he's going to want £20 each time just to write repeat prescriptions. Is there a way of avoiding this?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! In the US we do not charge to write prescriptions (as far as I know). The laws in the UK must be different. Robenacoxib are prescription so there is no way to get the drug with out your Vet approving the prescription, My suggestion is to ask for a larger supply, 3 months or more with refills. That way you do not have to pay the prescription fee that often. I hope this helps and have a great day!
