My cat has a staph infection Strep infection and interic rod recieved new meds today zeniquin for the staph 25mg and clavamox125 mg for the other two I gave both meds at 230 pm and I went to give just the clavamox but forgot and gave both again at 10
It's a good question, but rest assured the safety margin for using Zeniquin is high - this means that you are not likely to see any issues by giving Leopold an accidental extra dose tonight. I would suggest that you continue by using the Clavamox every 12hrs, and repeating the next dose of Zeniquin tomorrow evening. It is best if both meds are given around mealtime - they are less likely to cause nausea and vomiting if given with a meal. Please feel free to ask any additional questions.

Hi there, Our 5 month old nine pound puppy accidentally ate 1/2 tab (100mg) of Zeniquin that was intended for our Lab. What can I give her to reverse this drug? What should I do??? I have access to activated charcoal, slippery elm, etc. Please ad
A normal dose of Zeniquin is 2.75-5.5 mg/kg, and your puppy ingested 12.2 mg/kg. As an antibiotic, this medication may cause possible transient vomiting, diarrhea, or a loss of appetite. In young puppies given high doses of Zeniquin daily for 2-4 weeks, lameness and cartilage problems were noted in a study, but this would not be expected after a one-time ingestion. At this point, I recommend feeding a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken and white rice for the next few days to decrease stimulation to the GI tract. After a few days of this diet, you can gradually transition back to puppy food over another 5-7 days. If you need additional peace of mind, you can call the ASPCA animal poison control center at (888) 426-4435. Unless they direct otherwise, I cannot see any benefit in giving activated charcoal or other decontaminants after an antibiotic. I hope this helps and that all goes well!

My cat Zane, has a cold I think. He's sneezing, his eyes and nose are running clear fluid, but he is still eating and drinking just fine. He's currently on antibiotics for something else also. Will he get over a cold like a human or should I take him
I'm sorry to hear Zane is having a rough time! Many times healthy pets will be able to clear common colds/viruses just like us. Sometimes bacterial infections can become a secondary issue and make Zane more sick. Each antibiotic has a different area that it targets, so the one he is on now may not help with anything affecting the respiratory tract. Additionally an antibiotic is not going to affect a virus. Many times I will recommend a supplement called Lysine for cats who I suspect of viral infections. Allergies would be another condition that would cause similar signs. I would recommend to call the original veterinarian and update them on Zane. They may recommend a supplement for him or they may ask to see him again. Best of luck!

In your experience is clindamycin oral or clindamycin injections SQ more effective against URI in cats? Specifically kittens. My 4 week foster is on .02 clin SQ BID and though I've seen some improvement she is still pretty sick after day 7. I'm wonde
This is not the antibiotic of choice for URI in cats, the most suitable antibiotics for this condition at this are are Zhitromax and Veraflox. doxycycline should never be given to a kitten this young and clavamox is usually much less effective for URI in cats.

Can I give a cat people antibiotics
My short answer is no. Cats are very small compared to humans and the dosing is completely different. This is not a safe approach. Plus, antibiotics should never be given without a prescription by a veterinarian, as inappropriate use can lead to bacterial resistance, which can cause more serious problems. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
