Avoid Depo-Medrol if your dog has any existing infections, especially diabetes or Cushing’s disease. These conditions can be worsened by the drug’s immunosuppressive effects. Pregnant or lactating dogs should also avoid Depo-Medrol, as it can potentially harm developing puppies.
Gastrointestinal Issues
Dogs with a history of peptic ulcers or gastrointestinal problems might experience exacerbated symptoms after receiving Depo-Medrol. Consult your veterinarian before using this medication if your dog has digestive sensitivities.
Other Contraindications
Avoid Depo-Medrol if your dog has heart, kidney, or liver disease. These conditions can further complicate treatment. Always inform your veterinarian about all existing health issues to avoid unforeseen problems. Also, Depo-Medrol can interact negatively with certain other medications, so discuss all current medications your dog is taking.
