Anyone know how good Cephalexin is?

The Vet put Coco on that yesterday. She kept barfing the Clavamox. The Vet said its good for Bladder Infections and she has to take it 2 weks and then another test.

It's supposed to be a very safe antibiotic.
Here is some info, including possible side effects, so you'll know what to watch out for:

(The Pill Book says side effects are rare at normal doses, but it lists gastrointestinal upset, including nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and diarrhea as possible side effects. It also says that Cephalexin can cause fever and vomiting in cats.)

Good luck, I hope your kitty will do all right without any problems.

Thanks,
She is on the liquid one that is orange colored. I hope she dosent throw it up like the Clavamox.

Not sure the reaction difference between cats and humans, but it is also a commonly prescribed antibiotic for humans for treatment of UTI's, but in almost every woman i know who has taken it for UTI's, has gotten a yeast infection from taking the antibiotic. I know it is possible for dogs to get yeast infections for my mothers basset hound gets them alot. Like i said, i dont know if antibiotics can cause the same reaction in cats as they do in humans but it might be a question to ask a vet if it is possible.

I will ask the Vet on Weds. They are closed until then.
