Chloramphenicol (also known under brand names of Amphicol (Butler), Chloramphenicol Capsules (VPC), Duricol USP (Nylos) and Viceton (Bimeda)) is most commonly prescribed for major bacterial urinary infections in dogs that are resistant to other more commonly used antibiotics. Its side effects can include diarrhea and vomiting in some hypersensitive canines. It must NOT be used in any animal intended to enter the human food chain. Chronic use of chloramphenicol should be monitored with routine CBC monitoring to eliminate any possibilities of liver damage. There is evidence that humans exposed to chloramphenicol have an increased risk of developing a fatal aplastic anemia and any use of chloramphenicol should be carefully handled with gloves. Crushed or capsule contents are bitter tasting and animals may not accept the drug if presented without the use of food.
