The media is overflowing with information on flu viruses infecting humans and canines.  Although the virus that causes canine influenza can result in severe illness and even death, it is no more deadly than any other bacteria or virus that has existed for years and has potential to cause the same illness.  For more information, visit our site for a list of Frequently Asked Questions on the Canine Flu. and read more about this virus.

We now offer Convenia, the first antibiotic injectable that provides up to 14 days of treatment with one injection.  We know that some pets are not always the most cooperative when it comes to taking their antibiotics. We also know that our clients have busy lives, and medicating the dog or cat may not be at the top of the priority list.  One missed dose, or one dose given late can sometimes mean failure - resulting in worsening of the disease or prolonged treatment. 

Although Convenia is more expensive than any of the oral antibiotics, in the long run, it may save you the time and hassle of chasing Garfield up the curtain or Fido around the yard. Convenia may not always be the most appropriate antibiotic for certain infections, but ask us about it next time!
