Is Convenia causing my dog's limping, vomiting, and lethargy?

It could be a side effect of convenia but it is more likely to be the ongoing tooth infection, i personally do not like convenia as a treatment for teeth infections i believe there are much better options such as Clindamycin and Amoxyclav that work much better in mild cases (in severe cases the tooth needs to be removed).

I doubt the coughing and the limping are related at all. Call the vet office when you get a chance but I would just recommend resting him for 5-7 days - meaning only going outside on a leash to use the bathroom. No running, jumping, playing or stairs. If after trying this and there is no improvement then he should go back and see the vet.

Convenia is extremely safe. I have been using it for MANY years with not one side effect. Of course side effects are possible with any medication and there is no way to know which animal may or may not react to a certain product. The chance of your dog having a severe reaction is extremely slim. Please be careful reading people's biased information on the internet. Their pet may have had underlying kidney or liver issues prior to the Convenia administration. Their pet may have had a severe underlying condition that caused the death and it had nothing to do with the Convenia. When something goes wrong people always look for something to blame even if there is no direct causation. Please discuss this more with your vet. If you do not trust your vet's recommendation maybe you should see a second opinion from another vet that has all your dog's medical history. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Hello there and thank you for using Pet Coach to address your concern. Convenia (Cefovecin) is a very safe antibiotic to use. I have only ever seen an adverse reaction in one patient of mine out of hundreds I have administered this drug to. The antibiotic may have made him nauseous at first and he may be completely fine now, which is likely what happened. A reaction can be delayed (known as a type 4 hypersensitivity) and this can take several days before you notice any symptoms of a reaction. I would just monitor for now and if in the next few days you notice he is not himself, I would have the veterinarian recheck him to ensure he is ok. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help further!

Most antibiotics can potentially cause diarrhea but if Misty had a skin infection she needed antibiotics to improve. Ask your vet if a probiotic could help. Convenia and antibiotics in the same class have been reported to cause immune system diseases, but there is no specific life threatening complication of Convenia that I am aware of. If the articles you read did not cite specific research I would not be too concerned - people often blame medications for problems that are actually unrelated, and anyone can publish an article online hat makes claims that are not backed by research.

Maybe the vet is concerned Azul has an infection in her joints causing the problems and that's why an antibiotic was prescribed. I'm not sure without seeing her in person, so I'd give her vet a call to ask. I hope this helps!

Zeniquin is contraindicated in patients with seizure disorders due to rare CNS stimulation. There is no specific contraindication in dogs with a history of idiopathic vestibular disease. Convenia does not affect the nervous system
