Pregnant bitch - some dark brown blood - Page 3

Nope.  Not big gun. No Baytril.  Just Ceph. 

I would refuse to give that if you ever need a Big Gun its now..there was someone on here last year with a similar issue that continued to worsen on Cephalexin..I told them thats because that does not work for that! I would demand Baytril I don't play around with that type thing Cephalexin is for dog bites hot spots and skin infection not anything reproductive with Baytril you start out with a double dose to start knocking it out quick

 You need Baytril if it is even a slight chance of it being uterine infection. They like to try cephalexin first but if it was my bitch I'd want the Baytril now. Baytril is usually a last resort in pregnancy but the risk in causing problems to the whelps is minimal at this stage. Usually Baytril is a problem to 9 month old pups but not in utero. 

Common to all quinolones is that they may produce cartilage lesions in weight-bearing joints of growing dogs. Safety studies have shown that puppies between 1 and 4 weeks of age tolerated treatment with Baytril for up to 10 days at maximum doses of 25 mg/kg b.w. without showing adverse effects. In young dogs above 6 weeks of age, however, cartilage was affected depending on the dose and duration of Baytril administration. By contrast, young cats dosed with Baytril at maximum doses of 25 mg/kg b.w. for up to 30 days did not develop cartilage lesions. Thus, as a matter of precaution, all growing dogs were excluded from treatment. However, no evidence exists that Baytril treatment of pregnant or nursing dogs would have a negative influence on the cartilage development of the offspring.

Egads.  My error.  It isn't Ceph.  It is Clavaseptin. I am sorry. So she is on Clavaseptin.  The mild fever has now subsided. 




But the mammary mass is still there.  The vet had mentioned cabbage compress?

was she pregnant?? I think that stuff is like a clavamox? if it were me I would probably do that and baytril. I would least call them tommorow and say ''are you sure we don't need baytril'' I would do some type hot compress if they said its an abcess, did they take fluid out of it??

 Same as Clavomox

I think its like  clamox except Ampicillin instead of Amoxi

 Clavomox has Amoxicillin not Ampicillin, same as Clavomox :)
