My dog needs antibiotics now (silly question?)

Postby Elvish2 » Mon Apr 20, 2020 9:23 pm

My dog was just prescribed a topical antibiotic spray and a short oral course of antibiotics due to an infected sore on her foot, poor baby :(

Since I'm just over a month out from a c-diff infection, should I be taking an special precautions for myself, like not handling her medication or anything? I applied the spray to her today before I realized it was an antibiotic. Now I'm doing the freak-out thing and wondering if I accidentally inhaled some of the spray or something!
2011: contracted c-diff after taking Amoxicillin and Cipro. Successfully treated with Flagyl taper. (Posts under old username, Elvish)

2020: contracted c-diff after taking Augmentin. Finished Dificid taper/pulse on 3/15.

I don't think there is a risk, but you can always put on rubber gloves when applying the spray.
