Expert Answer

A dog absorbs an injected cephalosporin within about 6 hours, so space repeated shots about 6 hours apart. Ceftiofur treats respiratory infection well, with a 3 to 5 day course; mild cases need about 3 days.

Exact time follows severity, but always medicate under a vet’s guidance to avoid harm.
