Your pet's medicine at a glance
CefPET Pet Tablet is an antibiotic medicine commonly prescribed to treat bacterial skin infections (such as wounds and abscesses) in dogs. It works by stopping the bacteria from building their protective cell walls, which helps kill the infection.
To get the best results, give CefPET Pet Tablet exactly as directed by the veterinarian. It may be given with or without food. If your dog vomits or seems unwell when it is given on an empty stomach, consider giving the next dose with food or a small treat. Complete the full prescribed period, even if the infection seems gone. Do not stop treatment early or skip doses, as this may reduce effectiveness.
The most common side effects of CefPET Pet Tablet are vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite. These often improve on their own, but if they become severe, persistent, or if your dog refuses to eat, contact your veterinarian. Overdosing can be dangerous and may harm the kidneys or nervous system, so contact the veterinarian immediately if you think your dog has had too much.
CefPET Pet Tablet should not be used in dogs that are allergic to cephalosporins or penicillins. This medicine should be used with caution in animals that have kidney disease, are pregnant, or are nursing. Always inform your veterinarian about other medications, supplements, or herbal products your dog is taking to avoid harmful interactions.
