ShantisMom Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Shanti's antibiotics did not come with the insert like my kids do. Does antibiotics throw off their appetite? She is eating, but not at much as normal. Her behavior is amazingly improved. She is really perking up! Who would have thought!!! Guess I am 100% forgiven.

Guest Zookiesmom Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I think they can be hard on your stomach and could make you nauseous, so that could be why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5blackgreys Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 My Missy B is on Cephalexin right now due to running into a tree branch and putting a hole in her side : ( The insert that came with that states that it can cause an upset stomach and to give with food. I've also found antibiotics can give them the big D as well. I know when I'm on them they definitely upset my stomach so I have to think it would be the same for the greyhounds. I had a question about the Cehpalexin so I went to the Merck Veterinary Manual online and looked it up so you could always do that and check to see specific side effects of the antibiotic. On the positive side, I'm so glad Shanti's feeling better!!

We have not gotten the big D yet, but we have gotten softer. By the end of 8 weeks, I am guessing we will. Quote The Girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sassy Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Very often we don't receive the information on meds for our animals like we do for ourselves. I always look it up on the vetertinary edition of drugs.com. Here is the link: http://www.drugs.com/vet/. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burpdog Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Of all the antibiotics, cephalexin is the one that has bothered stomachs the most (and I've had several that could not take it at all). I ask for and put them on carafate with ceph. Sending prayers Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MorganKonaAlex Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Several of my greys haven't tolerated cephalexin. It causes too much stomach and they start vomiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShantisMom Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 I guess I should have known it could not be "that easy". She did eat everything last night and is eating it all this morning. I will keep a close eye on her and see about the carafate. What worries me is that I leave for a week on Monday for work (not going is not an option). DH will be here and she will be in wonderful hands, but it is just not the same. Quote The Girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
