She also suffered sometimes from bottom end thrush, anal gland infections, and recurrent SIBO treated with 4 weeks
of oxytetracycline each time.
Not exact matches
Honey, silver and
oxytetracycline are able to completely inhibit the growth
of P.aeruginosa and MRSA cultures.
Another double - blind clinical trial published in the British Journal
of Dermatology in 1977, discovered that zinc supplements were equally effective as
oxytetracycline, an oral antibiotic sometimes prescribed for treating acne.
Oxytetracycline (10 - 20 mg / kg BID to TID for 4 - 6 weeks) used to be the therapy
of choice.
ANTIBIOTICS
Oxytetracycline (10 - 20 mg / kg BID to TID for 4 - 6 weeks) used to be the therapy
of choice.
Pancreatic enzyme supplementation did not have a significant effect on the jejunal microflora in a group
of dogs with naturally occurring EPI; 50 however, a study completed in dogs with experimentally induced EPI revealed that clinical signs improved with pancreatic enzyme supplementation alone.51 Administration
of tylosin (20 - 40 mg / kg bid for 2 - 3 weeks), oral
oxytetracycline (10 - 20 mg / kg bid for 2 - 3 weeks), or oral metronidazole (10 - 20 mg / kg bid for 2 - 3 weeks) may improve overall response to therapy.
The presence
of an abnormal flora can not be predicted accurately by measuring serum concentrations
of cobalamin and folate, so a trial with an antibiotic such as
oxytetracycline (20 mg / kg PO TID 28d), ortylosin (10 mg / kg PO TID) can be undertaken.
The results
of susceptibility testing indicated that the relative potency
of these compounds were tylosin > gentamicin >
oxytetracycline > neomycin > chloramphenicol > tetracycline > kanamycin > sulfadiazine > penicillin > bacitracin.
Susceptibility testing on the isolated bacteria to routine antibiotics (including: bacitracin, chloramphenicol, gentamicin, kanamycin, neomycin,
oxytetracycline, penicillin G, sulfadiazine, tetracycline and tylosin) indicated that the most potent
of these compounds was tylosin and the less one was bacitracin.
Because the most bacteria isolated in the present study were more susceptible to tylosin, gentamicin and
oxytetracycline than the other antibiotics, before obtaining microbial susceptibility results, these antimicrobial drugs are recommended, although the choice
of antimicrobial therapy before obtaining microbial susceptibility results is made on the basis
of clinical signs, gram stains, and a history
of previous antimicrobial treatment and the response to therapy (Gerding et al., 1988).
Results
of susceptibility testing
of the most commonly isolated bacteria indicated that for Staphylococcus spp, most efficacious antimicrobial agents were tylosin, chloramphenicol,
oxytetracycline, and gentamicin.
Thus, because there are not ophthalmic preparations
of tylosin, in gram - negative infections, while waiting for culture results,
oxytetracycline, gentamicin and chloramphenicol may be the preferred drugs.
In a study conducted by questionnaires distributed to random veterinaries in the UK, it was discovered that dogs treated with antibiotics, such as trimethoprim - sulphonamide,
oxytetracycline, and ampicillin / amoxicillin, demonstrated a statistically significant decrease in the duration
of coughing (9).
This may be due to: genetics, poor nutrition
of the mother, immune system challenges (over-vaccination), vaccination during pregnancy, infection during pregnancy, medications given to a mother during pregnancy or to a puppy early in life (tetracycline, doxycycline,
oxytetracycline, minocycline), infections or inflammation early in life.
