Monitor your pet closely for any unusual changes. Common side effects include vomiting and diarrhea. These usually resolve without intervention, but contact your vet if they persist or worsen.
Gastrointestinal upset is frequent; offering small, frequent meals might help. Some pets experience loss of appetite. If your pet refuses food for more than 24 hours, seek veterinary advice.
Photosensitivity is a risk. Limit sun exposure, especially during peak hours. Consider using sunscreen formulated for animals on exposed skin.
Doxycycline can affect bone growth in young animals. Use only as directed by your veterinarian, and they will determine if it is appropriate for your growing pet.
Kidney or liver problems can be exacerbated by doxycycline. Always disclose your pet’s medical history to your veterinarian before administering this medication.
Drug interactions are possible. Inform your vet about all medications and supplements your pet is taking to avoid conflicts.
Store doxycycline securely and out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion. Follow the prescribed dosage carefully. Never exceed the recommended dose.
If you observe any unusual behavior or severe side effects, such as seizures or difficulty breathing, contact your veterinarian immediately.
