One of the most frustrating problems for animal guardians is when their veterinarians prescribe an oral antibiotic or oral medication that is difficult for them to administer to their pets. Whether it be that a pet is very stubborn about pilling or can eat around medication hidden in food, this has long been one of the most frustrating problems encountered by both veterinarian and animal guardian. Over the years newer medications one-a-day prescription pet medications has made this issue easier, however, this problem still remains an obstacle for many animal guardians. A few years ago, an injectable antibiotic came out by Pfizer called Convenia, where a single injection of this cephalosporin-based antibiotic lasted for up to two weeks. |
This versatile antibiotic, which has a broad use of activity in small animal practice from skin infections to other soft tissue or respiratory infections, it has been a godsend for many guardians; especially when dealing with an outdoor cat who is hard to catch and/or a dog who is difficult to restrain or medicate.
So, if your pet has been diagnosed with an infection, and it is difficult for you to properly medicate or pill your pet, you may want to ask your vet about prescription Convenia, now available from most veterinarians by prescription injection from their office. At the same time, I will often prescribe immune boosters as well, including Vetri-DMG liquid, Vitamin C, Super VitaChews and other nutritional supplements to help improve immune function and shorten the duration of the infection.
