Hi,

For a routine AB us Co-amox Its a generic augumentin - much cheaper - sometimes doenst mix quite as quickly. probably wnat to avoid zinacef as not really a firstline AB, other than that there are few you would really wnat to use to in terms of cost or good AB use.

Metornidazole - doenst really have wide enough range
ennrofloxacin - need to be really careful giving IV as have seen problems in consious dogs
Lincocin - again not really a routine forst line AB (except for dental work)

Also if its any other help we use augumentin/co-amox routinly and keep zinacef for 'special' cases

Hope that helps.

Stu

Look at Co-Amoxyclav - we've used it instead of Augmentin when it was OOS xx

It's not for everything...

I think I might be confused... it's not "routine" Abs...

I don't really know! haha...

Just looking for some names of IV ABs...

seems a bit drastic - routine i/v abs? but maybe its just me being old fashioned again

Stuart McQueen RVN MBVNA — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 11:35:43 GMT

It's really just for a routine... IV

as we are trying not to give routine ABs for everything...

To be honest I'm not really sure... it has to be something fairly cheap with minimal waste (hense the no Augmentin)

Thanks.xx
