Research Excerpts

Overview

Cefovecin is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with an efficacy of 2 wk following a single injection in domestic dogs and cats. It has demonstrated prolonged concentrations in extracellular fluid, allowing for dosing intervals of up to 14 days.

Effects

Cefovecin has been widely used to treat skin infections in dogs. It has a long duration of antibiotic activity in cats and dogs, somewhat attributable to its high plasma protein binding.

Toxicity

Cefovecin was shown to be an effective and safe treatment for urinary tract infections. There were no suspected adverse drug reactions attributed to treatment with cefovein or cephalexin. A single cefvecin injection (8 mg/kg) administered SC was safe and effective against naturally occurring skin infections in dogs.
