Proel SMG Meds For Dogs

Ciprofloxacin

This is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat infections in animals from certain bacteria. It has not been approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), yet can be prescribed by veterinarians labeled as another drug. Treatable conditions with Ciprofloxacin include wound infections, respiratory infections, and infections of the urinary tract. It can also be employed to treat ear and eye infections at special dosages, yet is not effective against infections that have come about from parasites or viruses. Ciprofloxacin side effects are minimal but may include diarrhea and unfavorable interactions with drugs like antacids, iron supplements, and some antibiotics. Possible damage to joints in younger pets has also been reported, although Ciprofloxacin should not be used in puppies under the age of six months.

Ciprofloxacin dosages:

• Tablet form: 100, 250, 500, and 750 mg
• Suspension: 5 percent and 10 percent versions
• Injection: 2 mg/ml and 10 mg/ml
• Ear formulation: suspension in 10 ml bottle containing 2 mg ciprofloxacin, 10 mg hydrocortisone
• Ciprofloxacin ophthalmic: 0.3 percent solution in 2.5 ml, 5 ml or 10 ml bottles; a 0.3 percent ointment in 3.5 gm tube

Piroxicam

Piroxicam belongs to the NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) group of drugs under the trade name Feldene and is used to treat certain cancers in dogs, as well as in cats. It is also used as an anti-inflammatory to treat osteoarthritis to a lesser extent in dogs. Side effects of Piroxicam Proel SMG meds for dogs may include irritation of the stomach and ulceration.

Omeprazole

Omeprazole is used to prevent and treat stomach ulcers and ulcers in the upper intestines. It is classed as an anti-ulcer, gastric acid pump inhibitor and goes under the brand name of Prilosec. Omeprazole is not FDA approved and is not widely used in veterinary medicine due, in large part, to the cost. Little is known of the effects on animals as it is quite new to veterinary medicine, to boot, although it has been used in humans effectively for some time. Omeprazole inhibits stomach acid formation via a different method than other histamine H2 receptor antagonists, like cimetidine, and has been reported to be better at preventing ulcers than NSAID drugs. Side effects in dogs may include vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite, urinary tract infections, and nervous system disorders

Omeprazole dosages:

• Dogs: 0.25 to 0.50 mg/pound orally every 24 hours
• Cats: 0.3 mg/pound orally every 24 hours

The duration of treatment of Omeprazole Proel SMG meds for dogs depends on the severity of the ulceration and the response to the meds, but should be no longer than eight weeks.
