Dear Veterinarian Letter: Nitrofurantoin

Regulatory bodies sometimes issue “Dr. Veterinarian” (or similar) notices about important issues pertaining to drugs. A recent one was the FDA’s letter about extralabel use of fenbendazole in dogs.  They’re meant to get important information out to vets, to prevent future problems. My topic of the day doesn’t deal with a drug, per se, but it’s an important issue that’s outside of any regulatory component so I’m issuing my own ‘Dear Vet’ letter….…Read Article

Our updated (from 2014) ISCAID canine pyoderma guidelines have just been published (Loeffler et Vet Derm, 2025). The whole document is a bit of a monster so I’ll break down some of the key points over the course of a few posts.

Antiviral stewardship in cats, pt2: GS-441524

The other day, I wrote about the use of oseltamivir in dogs and cats for H5N1 influenza. We have to be aware of resistance risks when we use anti-infectives, especially when the same drugs are used in people.

That’s lead to some questions about GS-441524 in cats…an antiviral that has turned out to be a game changer in the management of a previ…Cats · United StatesRead Article
