It really depends on what she is being treated for. Some treatments are 7 days, some may last up to 4 weeks. If she has been on it for that long and still has not improved, I would consider talking to your vet about doing a culture to see what type of infection it is and what antibiotic will be most effective at treating it.

Unfortunately, we are legally prohibited from providing a dose in the absence of a physical exam and VPCR (Veterinarian-Patient-Client Relationship). It is important to have a UTI diagnosed by your veterinarian. A sterile urine sample can be collected and submitted for culture and sensitivity. This may identify the organism responsible as well as the best antibiotic to use in treatment. The SMZ-TMP tabs you have may not be effective against the bacteria. Additionally, inappropriate antibiotic use can lead to resistant bacteria and may complicate any underlying condition which could delay diagnosis.

Hi and thanks for posting. Prednisone and Azathioprine are common immunosuppressive drugs given for this disease. If anterior uveitis is present, topical steroids may be administered as well. I hope this helps and thanks for using Boop by Petco!

The usual dose used is 15mg/kg but you could go as high as 30mg/kg; so a 26# dog would need between 177mg to 354mg twice a day. I do think the dose is high so please call your vet and ask. Personally I would use 1/2 of a 480mg tablet twice a day. The person who filled the prescription may have made an error. The drug is very safe so I would not be worried about it's safety. Remember, any drug can cause side effects but I use this drug A LOT and very rarely see any side effects and if I do, they are usually mild.

Only give it to the sick one for now, if the second one starts showing symptoms then treat him as well. a good alternative to baytril is Septrin (trimetoprim sulfa), this should be easy to find in human pharmacies (children suspension).
