Maximum time on Zithromax?

:? Badger has been on it solidly since May and was given three weeks courses prior to that. Funtimes.
 
Eeep :shock:

Dominic has been on it for about 5 weeks now.

Is the 10 days because of safety issues?

It has the potential to cause intestinal dysbiosis with longer courses. We have used it longer where there has been no alternative but usually we can stop after the 10day period, or use it in 10d courses with brief breaks or switch to a less GI disruptive antibiotic after the initial course if the infection is persisting
 
Tin Tin had it for 6 weeks, then the vet took him off it as he thought that was long enough.
