Cephalexin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections in dogs. It belongs to the cephalosporin class, which works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, making it effective against a wide range of infections, including skin, urinary tract, respiratory, and bone infections. Cephalexin is often prescribed for its effectiveness, safety, and minimal side effects.
However, it's essential to follow your veterinarian's dosage and treatment plan closely to ensure the best outcome for your pet. Never administer cephalexin without veterinary guidance, as improper use can lead to resistance or adverse reactions in your dog.

Ceftriaxone injection is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections, including respiratory, urinary tract, skin, and bloodstream infections. It's also effective for treating severe infections like meningitis and gonorrhea. Ceftriaxone works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the death of bacteria. Administered via intramuscular or intravenous injection, it's commonly prescribed in hospitals due to its potency and long duration of action. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, though side effects like diarrhea, rash, or allergic reactions may occur. Proper dosing and duration are crucial to prevent antibiotic resistance and ensure effective infection clearance.

Cephalexin is a trusted antibiotic in the cephalosporin class, commonly used to treat various bacterial infections. It is particularly effective against gram-positive bacteria, such as Streptococcus and Staphylococcus, which are often responsible for skin, respiratory tract, urinary tract, and bone infections. Cephalexin works by disrupting the formation of the bacterial cell wall, causing the bacteria to weaken and die.
Available in 500mg oral doses, cephalexin is well-absorbed and generally well-tolerated, with a good safety profile. Most patients experience symptom improvement within a few days. Completing the entire course as prescribed is essential to prevent bacterial resistance and ensure complete recovery.
