Important!!!
Please PRINT this and let your veterinarian know that your puppy can never
receive any sulfur based antibiotics.

They are DEADLY to Samoyeds; it only takes 2 days for it to do great harm to
your dog.

Examples of this are Ditrim and Tribrissirin

Albon is the only exception and has been safe to use.

SAFE ANTIBIOTICS TO USE ARE:

Clavamox

Cefhalexin

Baytril
Not for pregnant, nursing bitches or young puppies.




In the September/October 2003 issue of the Journal of the American
College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, a study by Trepanier et. al
reviewed the histories of 40 dogs all with assorted sulfa drug reactions to
determine what reactions were most common and most serious. They
found:

Samoyeds and Miniature Schnauzers were overrepresented in the group
(suggesting these breeds are predisposed to sulfa reactions).

The duration of sulfa exposure before symptoms showed up ranged from
5 days to 36 days (average of 12 days).

The time it took to develop a reaction was not dependent on the type of
sulfa drug used nor on the dose used.

The most common reaction was fever (in 55% of reacting dogs).

The next most common reaction was a drop in platelet count (in 54% of
reacting dogs) and was associated with a 63% recovery rate.

The third most common reaction was liver disease (in 28% of reacting
dogs) and was associated with a 46% recovery rate.

Reacting dogs that did not develop liver disease had an 89% recovery
rate. Reacting dogs without platelet count drops had a 90% recovery rate.

Overall, of dogs that had sulfa reactions 77% recovered.

MANY SAMOYED BREEDERS WILL VERIFY THAT NOT ONLY IS THE ABOVE
INFORMATION MOSTLY CORRECT IT HAS KILLED SAMOYEDS WITHIN
LESS THAN THE ABOVE DOCUMENTED TIME, AND OR CREATED EVEN
MORE SEVERE REACTIONS.
