selegiline
anipryl
adrenal steroid synthesis inhibitor used to tx PDH or hyperadrenocorticism due to adrenal tumors in dogs
Trilostane
vetoryl
what is the classification for the following: antibiotics antifungals antivirus antiprotozoals antiparasitics
anti-microbials
- inhibit protein synthesis
- accumulates in inner ear and kidney: ototoxic and nephrotoxic
- not absorbed well orally
- eliminated by glomerular filtration
- cats are very sensitive to it
aminocyclitols
- amikacin
- gentamycin
- neomycin
- bacterialcidal
- usually given IV because SQ can cause hair loss at site of injection
- inhibits cell wall synthesis
- beta lactam antibiotics
carbapenem
-meropenem
classified into generations according to spectrum of activity
- treat mostly skin conditions
- higher generations= more specificity
- poor GI absorption (given orally)
- metabolized in liver -> kidneys -> biliary system -> feces
- distributed thru all tissues except CNS
cephalosporins
cephalosporin class
injectable
used for bone
or orthopedic sx (pre, during, post)
cefazolin
cephalosporin class
skin problems
bladder issues
cephalexin
cephalosporin class give SQ lasts for 14 days tx skin infections rapidly has many other applications
cefovecin
convenia
cephalosporin class tx skin infections
cefpodoxime
simplicef
bacteriostat
tx URI, mastitis, metritis, foot rot
S/E: V/D, anorexia, pain at injection site

z-pack human label (zithromax)
may be used to tx kenel cough
azithromycin
very first antibiotic made from mold
mix very well
only good for (7-14 days)
very economic
penicillin
penicillin class
for generic infection/procedures
ie: spay/neuter
go to drugs
amoxicillin
amoxi-tabs
penicillin class
packed in foil to prevent moisture
beta lactamase inhibitor due to clavulanate potassium
tx of UTI, dermatitis, cystitis, vomiting, diarrhea
amoxicillin/clavulanate
clavamox
only made in injectable form
effective against beta-lactamase producing bacterial strains
- penicillin class
ampicillin/sulbactam
bacteriostat can be bactericidal at high dose never IV used in horse, fever in cats can bind to calcium and be deposited in growing bones and teeth ** should not be used in young animals toxic when expired (nephrotoxic) **do not break up tabs
tetracycline
tetracycline class
tx of tick borne dz, mycoplasma (blood parasites)
cause stricture in cats, follow with 6ml’s of water
doxyxycline
tx URI, dermatitis in dogs, cats, swine
mastitis in cows
pyodermas, wounds, abscesses
brand name drug used for dental dz or before/after dental procedures
lincosamides
clindamycin
work similar to tetracyclines
only parenteral administrations
**ototoxic and nephrotoxic
aminoglycosides
cannot be given to young; will cause bone abnormalities (affect cartilage)
bactericidal
has many side effect and contraindicated
soft tissue, resp. infections
fluro
(quinolones)
ciprofloxacin- cipro
enrofloxacin-baytril
**used for protozoal infections: coccidia
bacteristat
tx UTI, RTI, wounds and foot rot
**can cause crystallurina must maintain normal hydration
sulfonamides
(sulfadimethoxine)
albon
antibacterial used when metronidazole is no longer effective **causes aplastic anemia in humans (must wear gloves to dispense) S/E: toxic bone marrow productions
chloramphenicol

anti-fungals
ketoconazole, fluconazole
mainly used for tx of feline herpes in the eye
also used to FELV associated dz
