Canine nephritis needs antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs such as intramuscular ampicillin, plus diuretic, anti-swelling, and symptomatic treatment. Many anti-inflammatory drugs help nephritis, but misuse brings side effects.
For example, gentamicin may damage liver and kidney function, and prednisone may reduce appetite. To avoid discomfort after medication, give drugs only under a vet’s advice.
