My puppy has green discharge. Can I deworm him while on Cefpodoxime?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Luna. While her symptoms are most likely not life threatening, it is best to have her seen as soon as you can. You want to treat the intestinal parasites for her benefit and that some types are transmissible to humans. Some vaginal discharge can be normal in pups (puppy vaginitis), but other times it can indicate a urinary tract infection. I hope this information helps!

Unless the amoxicillin was prescribed by your veterinarian, you should stop giving it, as it does not work against viruses. If one puppy has roundworms, then all puppies will have roundworms and should be treated with a puppy wormer available from your vet or a petshop. Any wormer which is specified as a puppy wormer should be effective. Puppy wormers are either in tablet or paste form and are given by mouth.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Some discharge from the penis can be normal. I would use a mild soap and water to clean the area 2-3 times per day. When you have him in for his next vaccinations with your Vet have them look to make sure it isn't a bigger deal requiring antibiotics and prepuce flushing. Good luck!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If Daxter has green discharge I would be worried there is an infection. I recommend taking him to the vet that saw him for a recheck. They may need to prescribe different medications or do testing, like radiographs. Because he is young he has a weaker immune system so he may need extra help getting better. Good luck and kisses to Daxter!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This means that Ace would benefit from being started on another dose of deworming medications. The best medication for this is usually chosen based on a fecal examination to determine which parasite is affecting Ace. The same deworming medication can be given to your other dog. I recommend that you have them evaluated by a your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a great day!

You can give a dewormer even though Lucy is antibiotics. If the worm burden is high enough, it can complicate her condition or delay recovery. Her recovery will depend on how sick she is right now. A mild pneumonia will resolve quicker than a severe infection. Keep her warm, stress free, hydrated and make sure she continues to eat.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. You can see some diarrhea after vaccines, but it should pass within 48 hours. If Milo is still having diarrhea tomorrow morning, have him seen by a vet. The green discharge may be normal. It's called smegma, and it actually comes from the penile sheath. I hope this helps!
