Additional Information

Precautions

• Test sensitivity first: It’s best to check if the bacteria will respond to the antibiotic before using it, so the treatment works properly.
• Monitor prolonged use: Using it for more than seven days can slow down healing, so it should be done only under close vet supervision.
• Avoid ingestion risk: Make sure the dog doesn’t lick or swallow it, as this can lead to side effects from the corticosteroid.
• Watch secondary infections: Long-term use may lead to fungal, yeast, or resistant bacterial infections, so keep an eye out for any changes.
• Stress condition caution: Dogs that have recently been on corticosteroids may need extra care during stressful situations.

Possible Side Effects

• Digestive issues: Some dogs may have vomiting or diarrhea, and in a few cases, it may even contain blood when on corticosteroids.
• Behavior changes: You might notice increased thirst, more frequent urination, or changes in appetite due to the medication.
• Weight changes: Some dogs may lose weight or eat less while on treatment.
• Liver effects: There can be changes in liver enzyme levels during corticosteroid use.
• Hormonal risks: Long-term or repeated use may lead to hormone-related problems like Cushing’s syndrome in dogs.
