Discussions of the Risks of Convenia from Itchmo
Convenia is a long-acting antibiotic injection. Convenient, but if your pet has a reaction to the antibiotic, the dangers are significant.
Probably this should not be given to any pet who hasn't already demonstrated the ability to tolerate the same class of antibiotics (penicillins and cephalosporins) through a short-acting administration.

The drug appears to take 65 days to totally clear the system

Convenia (manufactured by Pfizer) is a relatively new injectable long-acting antibiotic that is labeled for the treatment of skin infections in cats and dogs. It exerts its antibacterial effects for approximately 1-2 weeks but stays in the body for over 2 months.
This is in contrast to non-repositol antibiotics which are rapidly cleared from the body and need to be administered 1 - 2 times per day.

It is important to understand that all drugs have side effects with some being more significant/life-threatening than others so it is very important to consider these side effects when any chemical is put into a living being.
Consider the fact that if your cat has an adverse reaction to Convenia there is no way to retrieve this long-acting drug from his body.
