My newset dog, which we adopted last Saturday, had been very sick and the vet actually kept her overnight. He put her on Bactril. I looked Bactril up online and it appears to be some veavy duty stuff. Does anyone have any experience with this drug? Are there any side effects? Basically the vet said that the dog was in the beginning stages of Pneumonia.
This really is not part of the question but more of just a statement. When I called the pound to let them know of the condition of the dog after just 24 hours (which I did really just to warn them for the other dogs there), they became very defensive and were like once you take the dog home its your responsibility. We have nothing to do with the illness. They were very rude. I was surprised by this, since they are in the "dog helping" business.

Call them and tell them about microchipping through petfinders and the adopters getr a free month of insurance in an incase situation. Then they won't have to be so defensive. They will already have a backup in case a pet is sick.

I would pick up the phone and ask these questions of your vet. Simply because they're the best people to ask - they will know possible effects of any drug they prescribe. Plus - never a good idea to look this stuff up on the internet, it's full of crap and you can never be sure what you're reading! I'm sure if you like up side effects you'll find ludicrous horror stories for any drug in the world.
Yeah, I'm surprised by the pound's attitude too - or maybe not, not everyone is in it for the love of animals unfortunately. Perhaps you could get your vet to ring them and have a word.
