Cephalexin is a widely used prescription antibiotic for dogs and cats. It belongs to the cephalosporin family and is effective against a variety of bacterial infections, particularly those involving the skin, bones, respiratory tract, and urinary system. It works by disrupting bacterial cell wall formation, helping the immune system clear the infection.
