My basset/beagle mutt has a major ear infection, so my vet gave him a Depo Medrol injection. How long does the shot last? What are its uses? I would call and ask the vet as I forgot when I had him in this morning, but they are closed.
If you have the answer I would appreciate it. Thanks!
Also, do you have any experiences with this shot?

Not sure how long the shot lasts in dogs, but it is a medication used to keep inflammation down. That’s its basic purpose – keeps the immune system from making the infected area too inflamed and painful.
