Hello, Can you please tell us if the antibiotic "Veraflox" is toxic to a cat with mild kidney disiase? Our 16 year old cat "Tigger" was on it for 5 weeks for e coli. The e coli was cured. A week later she had some diarrhea and received it again f
It isn't toxic per se, but it should be used with caution in pets with kidney disease. Kidney disease is an insidious condition because a pet can show no clinical signs until one day they are suddenly "sick". This is because most pets can be asymptomatic until they lose about 75% of kidney function. Once diagnosed, we are already "behind the 8 ball" in treatment. It is likely a combination of all her conditions contributed to her downward spiral, especially at 16 years old. I am sorry for the loss of Tigger. May she rest in peace.

i recently got enrofloxacin from a company other than baytril. the 200ml bottle of 5% was for a third of the price and i got it, as i could NOT get baytril where i live this time. now upon opening the bottle the strongest smell of vinegar hit me. the
If it was not ordered through a reputable distributor and you can’t contact the company to verify the product I wouldn’t use it. I wouldn’t expect a strong vinegar smell, although I don’t necessarily think that this means it’s a counterfeit product. If you are able to contact someone with the company they might be able to reassure you that the enrofloxacin is good.

My 7 month old terrier mix 16 lbs was prescribed Enrofloxacin, is this medication detrimental to his growth? He has been on it for 3 days now for a UTI.
Enrofloxacin is a safe antibiotic to give Flip and it will not be detrimental to his growth. While it is a fluoroquinolone, it is not recommended to give to puppies under six months of age due to the effects on the growth of a puppy. Because he is over six months of age, it is fine to give to him :-)

Just came back from vet. Bella had soft stool and slight fever of 103.6. Vet prescribed .25ml metronidazole for stool. .30ml loxicom for fever and one dose of Drontal plus as precautionary as she was around a dog with worms. This seems like a lot of
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Bella! The metronidazole is an antibiotic and could help with the fever. If you want to start with the metronidazole and the dewormer first that is fine. Recheck her temperature in 24 hours. If it is still elevated give the loxicam. The loxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory. Good luck!

Veterinary medicines aren't available in my country, so vets prescribe human meds to pets. My cat (who has been coughing - dry cough, 2 to 3 times a day, 10 to 15 seconds at a time) has been prescribed Velosef Syrup. My question is: does it make a di
Thank you for using Boop by Petco! I'm sorry that Jolly is not feeling well. There is no difference in the active ingredient, an antibiotic, between Velosef syrup vs capsules/tablets. Slight differences in the way the compound is dissolved may be present, but the activity is the same. Most veterinarians prescribe medications based on the animal's weight, so the total dose (total milligrams) needs to be the same no matter the form of the medication. I recommend asking your vet what the total amount of medication is per dose, and ensuring that the same amount is present in either the capsules, tablets, or syrup. I'm happy to answer any other questions you may have!
