This will depend upon the doseage and formulation of the cefaclor. It is part of the cephalosporin class of antibiotics, which are widely used in veterinary medicine to treat bacterial infections in dogs. However, a veterinarian would need to prescribe this medication for your dog.
use only under supervision of the vet
So long as your veterinarian has prescribed it, yes it is safe for your dog. Keflex is the trade name of cephalexin, a common cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat minor infections such as skin or ear infections in dogs.
Is there a human equivelant to Clavaloc antibiotic that you can give a dog?
No. If you need an antibiotic, see a doctor and get a prescription.
depends on which antibiotic you are using. For example, Azithromycin is a relatively safe and effective antibiotic. Where as Vancomycin, is a highly effective antibiotic (covers MRSA) but has a lot of morbidities associated w/ it (hearing loss, kidney malfunction, etc).
If you are allergic to cefaclor (Ceclor), you should not take cephalexin (Keflex) without first consulting your doctor. They are both cephalosporins, meaning, they are the same type of antibiotic, they just target different bacteria.
It depends on the antibiotic. There are many.
My dog was spade on Wednesday and she is now showing signs of pain or infection. i had some cephalexin from a previous vet visit. Since there is no vet office opened until tomorrow, is it safe to give her the antibiotic? I am afraid if I wait the infection will be worse. It is 250mg. two times a day.
The brand name for Ceclor is Cefaclor.
Cefaclor, also known as cefachlor or cefaclorum (brand names Ceclor, Distaclor, Keflor, Raniclor), is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat certain infections caused by bacteria such as pneumonia and ear, lung, skin, throat, and urinary tract infections.It is not an NSAID.Cefaclor belongs to the family of antibiotics known as the cephalosporins (cefalosporins). The cephalosporins are broad-spectrum antibiotics that are used for the treatment of septicaemia, pneumonia, meningitis, biliary-tract infections, peritonitis, and urinary-tract infections. The pharmacology of the cephalosporins is similar to that of the penicillins, excretion being principally renal. Cephalosporins penetrate the cerebrospinal fluid poorly unless the meninges are inflamed; cefotaxime is a more suitable cephalosporin than cefaclor for infections of the central nervous system, e.g. meningitis. Cefaclor is active against many bacteria, including both Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms.
just wondering if it would be ok to give my dog the antibiotic KLACID. He seems to be coughing a lot
It is safe to have a dog but you may have to show it things and respect , to it !
This should be a question for your veterinarian.
