Clivet is a potent Clindamycin-based solution designed to effectively treat anaerobic bacterial infections in pets. Available in various concentrations (300mg/2ml, 600mg/4ml, 150mg, 300mg, 600mg), this product is widely used for treating a range of bacterial infections, including osteomyelitis, mouth and dental infections, pyoderma (skin infections), and babesiosis. Clivet works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, ensuring the elimination of anaerobic pathogens that cause these conditions. Whether administered orally or via injection, Clivet offers an essential tool for veterinarians to manage challenging bacterial infections and promote faster recovery in pets.

Clivet is available in multiple variations to offer flexibility in treatment options for pets, depending on the severity of the infection and the method of administration preferred. The 30ml oral solution is ideal for pets who may have difficulty swallowing tablets or require a precise dose over a period of time. The tablet variations (150mg, 300mg, 600mg) provide a convenient option for oral administration and are perfect for pets that can comfortably ingest tablets. The injection variations (300mg/2ml, 600mg/4ml) are suitable for cases where a more direct, rapid treatment is needed, ensuring quicker absorption and action. These multiple variations ensure that veterinarians can tailor the treatment based on the pet’s condition, size, and preferences, ensuring the most effective and comfortable care.
Clivet, containing Clindamycin, is highly effective in treating anaerobic bacterial infections, which thrive in low-oxygen environments. Clindamycin works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria, preventing them from multiplying and spreading. This makes Clivet an ideal choice for treating conditions such as osteomyelitis, dental infections, and pyoderma, where anaerobic bacteria are often implicated.
Clindamycin, the active ingredient in Clivet, has a broad spectrum of activity against a variety of gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria, as well as protozoa like Babesia. This allows Clivet to be used for a range of infections in pets, from skin infections like pyoderma to more serious conditions like osteomyelitis and mouth infections. Its versatility in treating different pathogens makes it a go-to antibiotic for many bacterial infections in animals.
The formulation of Clivet ensures targeted action at the site of infection. Whether administered orally or through injection, Clindamycin rapidly reaches the affected tissues, particularly in bone disorders (like osteomyelitis) and soft tissue infections (like pyoderma and dental infections). This efficient distribution helps in faster recovery, reduces inflammation, and promotes quicker healing, making it an excellent option for treating both chronic and acute bacterial infections in pets.
Q
What is Clivet used for in pets?
A
Clivet is an antibiotic medication used to treat anaerobic bacterial infections in pets. It is effective for treating bone disorders like osteomyelitis, mouth and dental infections, skin infections like pyoderma, and babesiosis caused by protozoa. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, effectively stopping the infection from spreading.
Q
How does Clivet work to treat infections?
A
Clivet contains Clindamycin, an antibiotic that works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria. This prevents bacteria from multiplying and helps stop the spread of infection. It is particularly effective against anaerobic bacteria that thrive in low-oxygen environments, making it ideal for treating deep tissue infections like osteomyelitis and dental infections in pets.
Q
Can Clivet be used for skin infections in pets?
A
Yes, Clivet is highly effective in treating skin infections like pyoderma. Clindamycin, the active ingredient, targets the bacterial causes of these infections and helps reduce inflammation, allowing the skin to heal. Whether applied topically or administered orally, Clivet provides rapid relief from skin-related bacterial infections in pets.
