 Has anyone had any experience with the antibiotic Cephalexin?
Toby has had some small bumps all along his spine for a few weeks. They don't itch and they weren't red but they would show up in a spot, get bumpy and then go away and show up in another spot. So I took him to the vet yesterday and came to the conclusion that he was probably allergic to the flea/tick medicine I put on him (can't remember what it was-but it was OTC stuff). I've used it before and it never bothered him but I don't think we ever used a whole tube and we did this past month because of all the rain we've had and were going to be camping more.
Vet said he had a slight staff infection (not the contagious type) so she put him on Cephalexin. He is to get a whole capsule (250 mg) three times a day. I started him on it last night and a few hours after I gave it to him he threw up. I gave it to him this morning and he did fine. I gave it to him after dinner tonight and again after a couple hours he threw up. I'm thinking his little tummy can't handle it.
His bumps are already disappearing and not spreading. I don't think I will give him any more of the Cephalexin until I talk to the vet Monday since it seems to upset his tummy.
Have any of you used it and had to switch to something different? |
