Vet Q & A
Is Orbax antibiotic safe for my cat's UTI? Retinal damage risk?
Hello. I am so sorry that your question has gone unanswered for so long. As long as the antibiotic is used at the prescribed dose & for the prescribed time, there is very little chance of retinal damage occurring in Echo. Orbax has been available for many years & was in fact developed to address the retinal issue seen with some other fluoroquinolones. It is a good & safe antibiotic for cats. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

My dog's pyoderma is back. Can I order his meds online without a vet?
Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Bruno. I'm sorry he has been having problems with his skin again. Unfortunately we cannot give a prescription for these medications, it's illegal for us to do so without seeing him in person. You will need a prescription to get these medications, and in order to get that, you will have to take him into the vet. I'd make an appointment for him to be seen in the next couple of days. Best of luck.
