My cat got many antibiotic shots after neuter and injury. Is it safe?

This depends on what the injection was - there are a number of long acting antibiotic injections which provide 3-10days antibiotic cover - without knowing what she was given and any improvement in her condition it is impossible to discuss in any detail.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If antibiotics are warranted then there is no limit to how many times a year an animal can have them. If this is the same infection and it can be cultured then that might be a wise next step. That way the Vet can choose the correct antibiotic and not create resistance. I hope this helps and have a great day!

I'm afraid we would need to know what specific injections you're talking about in order to advise you on whether this is appropriate or not - feel free to post another question with more details, and we would be happy to try and help.

Hello. It is true that FISS can be associated with other injections besides vaccinations. We have seen sarcomas develop in areas where long-acting antibiotic & steroids have been injected, where suture material might remain, & from microchips. So, there might be a genetic predisposition for a sarcoma to form in these situations. If this is the only way to get the antibiotic into your cat, then varying the injection sites & doing this for the shortest period possible is recommended. But it is never a foregone conclusion that this will lead to sarcoma formation in Camis. Most cats do very, very well & never develop any problems. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Yes, antibiotics needs to be given for 10-14 days for a bite to prevent an infection from developing, Billie received an injection called Convenia which is an antibiotic injection that works for 14 days. the 2 first injections might have been unnecessary though (i usually give the convenia and that's it).

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Overdosing of antibiotics is usually not a huge deal. It can cause an upset stomach, vomiting, diarrhea. I would monitor for these signs. I do recommend calling your local emergency clinic (or posting another question) including which antibiotic (Amoxyclav?, Doxycycline?, etc.), as this might change the answer and inducing vomiting might be recommended. Otherwise, just monitor for signs of an upset stomach and skip the next dose. Best of luck with Sumi!

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. The antibiotic injection did not likely worsen the area. The wipes may be further irritating the area so I would discontinue the wipes and consider trying a topical spray such as Malacetic Conditioning spray (can be found online) and apply twice daily until resolved. This may also be a fungal infection such as ringworm so using the spray will help treat the potential fungal infection. If the area does not improve or it worsens, I would bring Marlow back in for a recheck examination with the previous veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
