My two-month dog is on Clavamox and a cough syrup; can it be antibody-tested and vaccinated, or how long after stopping? Can I change food while on medication?
Being on antibiotics means the dog is ill; do not vaccinate now, as antibiotics reduce vaccine effect and worsen the illness. Treat first, then stop meds about a week and confirm no symptoms before vaccinating; a pre-vaccine check is best. Food change does not conflict but do it gradually.
My two-month-old puppy sneezes and has clear nasal discharge but normal appetite and energy; is it a cold, what should I do, does it need medicine?
