Is it safe to give my pet prednisolone, terbinafine, and Augmentin?

Terbinafine works only against fungal infections and augmentin works only against bacterial infections. If your dog has mixed bacterial and fungal infection, he needs both of the antibiotics a the same time.

Augmentine is an antibiotic, it treats bacterial infections. Terbinafine is an antifungal that treats fungal infections. If your vet suspects both then Augmentine is also necessary. the most common side effects are vomiting, lack of appetite and diarrhea.

Hello, and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yes, this is a common antibiotic used in dogs for a variety of infections. I prescribe it routinely in my patients! I recommend giving it according to your vet's recommendations. The specific mg dose will be determined according to your dog's weight, and without that information I can't verify the specific dose - but I do not worry about this medication harming the kidneys. Hope this helps!

Hello and that you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Neither of these medications have kidney failure listed as potential side effect of treatment. Also, they can be used together. However, terbinafine should not be used in dogs with pre-existing kidney disease. Please, discuss with your vet if the treatment should be discontinued or not. It is a worry that the creatinine is going up and your vet may want to change or stop treatment for Bruno, just in case he has individual sensitivity to any of these medications.

Yes, you can use Augmentin but you are going to need a lot of 62.5mg tablets for a 42kg dog! The dose ranges from 5 to 12 mg per pound (10 to 25 mg/kg) twice a day. That means for a dog this size, he needs 420 to 1,050mg at each dose. Even using the lowest end of the dosing range you would have to give him 7 tablets twice a day.

Yes you can give this antibiotic to cats. The dosage depends entirely on the pets weight. The main problem that we run into with prescribing human medication to cats, in particular, is that they require a significantly smaller dosage and often times need liquid medication to avoid an overdose. Also antibiotics should only be given if a veterinarian confirms an infection is present. Please ask your vet who has examined and determined your pet needs antibiotics first, then they can prescribe he proper dosage based on your pets exact weight.

Yes there are no drug interactions listed between these drugs. Tramadol is an opioid used for mild to moderate pain and Rimadyl is an NSAID, a different class of pain medication which works through reducing inflammation. These two can be given together. Metronidazole and clavamox are two antibiotics which hit different kinds of bacteria, and are usually given together if there is a severe infection .All of these can be given together,
