Thanks Chris can't see anything about an in whelp bitch and possible side affects.

This is the datasheet for Rilexine (you can click through to further pages); it doesn't mention pregnancy on any of the pages, as far as I can see.

My bitch had to go on antibiotics at about the same stage.  My vet said although a lot of the possible treatments he could
have prescribed didnt say they couldnt be given to bitches in whelp, that a lot of time that only meant they hadnt done trials
to say they were safe.  My girl was given synulox which states it is safe to give supposedly?

friends girl is on synulox and is on day 50 she has kennel cough but hopfuly this ab is safe !! x

Many thanks for all replies I think it's a case of wait and see and fingers crossed.

The results from her swab have come back and she has E-coli does anyone have any advice or experience of this condition?

Any advice good or bad would be most grateful.

Many thanks

sorry i havnt ,but i thought e-coli was in the guts not in their water works ? i always thought a poo sample was needed for that ? am i wrong! x
