Oseltamivir 6mg/ml Oral Suspension (60 ml)

Oseltamivir 6mg/ml Oral Suspension for Dogs

Effective Antiviral Treatment for Canine Parvovirus and Influenza

Oseltamivir 6mg/ml Oral Suspension is a potent antiviral medication widely used to treat dogs suffering from serious viral infections like Canine Parvovirus (CPV) and canine influenza. This oral suspension contains Oseltamivir, a neuraminidase inhibitor that disrupts the replication process of viruses, helping your dog recover faster from these life-threatening conditions.

Parvovirus is known to cause severe vomiting, bloody diarrhea, and immune system suppression, but Oseltamivir has shown promising results in aiding weight gain and increasing white blood cell counts, giving your dog a better chance at a full recovery.

Prescription items are NON-RETURNABLE and NON-REFUNDABLE.
