Hello there! I understand your concern about giving your cat a second dose of Convenia so soon. Convenia is an antibiotic used to treat infections like UTIs in cats and is usually given as a single injection lasting about two weeks. In some cases, particularly when dealing with persistent or severe infections, a second dose may be recommended sooner if the first hasn't fully resolved the issue.
It’s important to trust your vet as they have the benefit of knowing your cat’s medical history. They may have seen signs that the infection is not clearing up as expected and believe a second dose is necessary.
At home, you can help your cat by ensuring they have fresh water available at all times to stay hydrated, which can support kidney health and help flush out bacteria. Also, try to keep their litter box clean to reduce stress and encourage frequent urination.
Watch out for signs like lethargy, poor appetite, vomiting, or any unusual changes in behavior, which can indicate that the infection is worsening or the medication isn't being well-tolerated. If you notice these, it’s worth seeking immediate advice.
If you’re still feeling uneasy, it might be a good idea to book a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. Having a one-on-one discussion can provide guidance and reassurance tailored to your cat’s needs.
