Convenia- New long-lasting antibiotic injection for cats and dogs
June 2008: Convenia® (cefovecin sodium), is a new antibiotic for cats (and dogs) that provides 14 days worth of antibiotic treatment in just one injectable dose!
Developed by Pfizer Animal Health, Convenia is for treatment of the most common skin infections, and for wound abscesses, in cats and dogs. Wound and skin infections are the number one reason pets are prescribed antibiotics. No more struggling to pill cats or trying to squirt a liquid medication down their throats- with most of it dribbling all over the place! No more needing to rush home from work, cancel leisure plans, or change your normal routine to be available to medicate your cat (or dog) twice daily, every day for two weeks!
Now feral cats can get the full needed course of antibiotic treatment for bite wounds (provided one was able to catch them and get them to a vet.)
If your cat or dog needs antibiotic treatment for a wound or skin infection, be sure to ask your vet about Convenia. This medication truly is a fantastic development to make life better for both cats (and dogs) and humans!
