Cat Antibiotics
47 productsWhat Are Antibiotics And What Do They Treat?
Antibiotics are prescription medications that help cats combat infections. Antibiotics are beneficial against a bacterial infection, but not a viral one.
What Are Some Of The Most Common Antibiotic-susceptible Infections In Cats?
A gastrointestinal infection, or gastroenteritis, may be associated with bacteria, a virus, or a parasite infection. A few of the best options for treating GI infections are Trimethoprim, Sulfamethoxazole, and Amoxi-Tabs.
An ear or eye infection can be bothersome and even dangerous for cats. For an ear infection, otic or oral drugs might be prescribed. In conjunction with an eye care routine, an eye-specific antibiotic could be a great way to treat eye infections. Medication for eye infections might include antibiotic ointments, an oral antibiotic, or drops. Some of the most effective antibiotics for ear or eye infections include Ciprofloxacin, Amoxi-Drops, Azithromycin, and Tresaderm.
A dental infection can be a dangerous or even fatal problem. Periodontal disease is associated with the tissue surrounding a cat’s teeth. Antibiotics can be highly beneficial for these conditions, with Antirobe, Clavacillin, Clindamycin Hydrochloride, and Metronidazole being some of the top vet-recommended picks.
A respiratory infection may be bacterial or viral. For colds, upper respiratory infections, respiratory tract infections, and other conditions associated with susceptible strains of bacteria, veterinarians often prescribe Baytril, Albon, Amoxicillin, or Ketoconazole.
A skin infection can be caused by a number of causes, including fleas bites or food allergies. Cats can have skin issues like abscesses, which can worsen quickly. Veterinarians often prescribe or recommend topical treatments, such as topical antibiotic creams, along with an oral antibiotic such as Zobuxa, Clindamycin, Clavamox, or Zeniquin.
A bladder or urinary tract infection is caused by bacteria that wreak havoc on your cat’s kidneys, bladder, and/or urinary tract. Antibiotics are a likely solution for a UTI or bladder infection. Some of the top products include Ciprofloxacin, Viceton, Cefpoderm, and Enroquin.
What Should I Do If I Think My Cat Might Have An Infection?
First, it’s time for a trip to the vet. Your veterinarian will assess the condition and help you decide on the best treatment option. Whether it’s mastitis, Lyme disease, chlamydia, or another illness, infections can come from a number of sources. Your veterinarian will help you decide if oral antibiotics are the best choice, if a shot might work best, or if a liquid formula might be most beneficial. Injections, oral antibiotics, and liquid antibiotics are some of the top choices among vets and pet parents. Be sure to talk to your vet about any concerns you may have regarding side effects, including diarrhea and digestive upset. Your veterinarian may suggest that you administer probiotics to your cat during treatment with antibiotics.
