Cephalexin

Mattie ate dinner 7 tonight then I gave her 1 Cephalexin. By 9 pm she vomited. She got an allergy shot at the vet today. Could the antibiotic made her sick that quick. What should I do? Should I get something in her tummy? She still has to take benadryl tonight before bed.
Thanks for any thoughts that any one might have.

It could have been the anxiety of being at the vet. Or it could be the Cephalexin. Our first sheepdog, Quincy, did not have a sensitive tummy overall, but had trouble with Cephalexin. Sounds like you gave it with a meal, which is the best way to make sure it gets digested with the least amount of tummy upset. You also might want to talk to your vet about Pepcid AC with the meds. Not sure if it would help in this case, but it might be worth mentioning.

Sorry to hear of Mattie's tummy troubles.
