Has anyone used Prednisone 5mg and Clavamox 62.5 mg

[bgeier]

I need to know if anyone has used these two meds on a 5# toy yorkie. If so, any bad reactions?? Just got these from vet for Deucy's red sores on his back. I won't give them unless I know for certain that nobody else has had problems with these meds. Awaiting answers and thank you so much.

I have used both meds on numerous pups without any issues at all.

Hope this helps!

I have used them on my dog before. It's very important you trust your vet.

Thank you, Lady Jane.
Lovetodream, too many vets in my area have killed too many of my animals. Hence my checking with those here. Yes, don't think anybody knows this more than me.

Are the red spots pyoderma aka "hot spots"...? If so, very odd they gave you Clava as the gold standard for treating this condition is Simplicef x 30 days. The Clava may not work for this, just fyi...

Vet never did say what the sores were. The tech that works there said she thought it looked like staph. But vet never did say. Yes, I asked for those who will post "Did you ask?" Deucy is my life!!! I will research hot spots and see if they look like what he has. Thank you for excellent feedback and for positively contributing to this thread!!!!

Staph is a very common skin infection on dogs and I am quite sure that is why you were given those meds. All you have to do is call the vet's office and ask so you know for sure. It is what many vets do give.

My vet usually gives one shot of Convenia. The only time I have been given Simplicef is if the Convenia does not clear it up, but usually it does. It is a great fix...one shot/no pills!! I have had to have that shot repeated if the infection has not totally cleared up....just as long as it IS clearing up.

Yes. I always look up any med given to me from Vet. Already did this.
Also am aware that Spagh is common and lives ever where. I only wanted advise about what I posted.

I know what you posted and responded to you letting you know I had experience with the meds. I then read that you were going to look online to see what the spots are after someone questioned what was given. If there are concerns like that, best to double check with the vet.

You cannot dictate to people what they should or should not post. SMH

Oh my! Please leave me alone. This is why I stopped coming to YT. I ask one question and some people just cannot answer without giving other unwanted advise. Admin help.

Wow. You are serious? People are so helpful then this? Honestly don't know what to say other than perhaps a long look in the mirror is in order.

OK If that is what you got out of the help that was offered to you.

As I said, good luck to your pup.
