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.

Pharmacokinetics

The third generation cephalosporin cefovecin has an exceptionally long elimination half-life in dogs and cats, making it suitable for antibacterial treatment with a 14-day dosing interval in these species. The pharmacokinetic properties were evaluated in cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis), olive baboons (Papio anubis), and rhesus macaque ( Macaca mulatta)

Lyme Disease
An infectious disease caused by a spirochete, BORRELIA BURGDORFERI, which is transmitted chiefly by Ixodes dammini (see IXODES) and pacificus ticks in the United States and Ixodes ricinis (see IXODES) in Europe.

Peritonitis
INFLAMMATION of the PERITONEUM lining the ABDOMINAL CAVITY as the result of infectious, autoimmune, or chemical processes. Primary peritonitis is due to infection of the PERITONEAL CAVITY via hematogenous or lymphatic spread and without intra-abdominal source. Secondary peritonitis arises from the ABDOMINAL CAVITY itself through RUPTURE or ABSCESS of intra-abdominal organs.		07.0710

When sepsis is accompanied by HYPOTENSION despite adequate fluid infusion, it is called SEPTIC SHOCK.		02.0710
