The vets made a mistake on the dosage indication and directed me to inject ceftazadime every 24 hours, instead of every 72 hours. This happened for three
nights.
Does anyone know if there any danger here, such as renal damage? |

Cleve,
Ceftazadime is said not be minimally nephrotoxic so you probably don't have much to worry about. Not much you can do now anyway. Will |

I would ensure it is well hydrated and consider a lactated ringer to help flush the system.

that it is minimally nephrotoxic (especially compared to other antibiotics), but like Andrew said keeping it hydrated would be a good idea.
