Yes, CEFUROXIME AXETIL 500mg can be given to dogs with kidney disease. High creatine by itself does not have it's own set of symptoms. When elevated along with the BUN then the symptoms would be those of kidney disease - it differs for acute vs chronic disease. ( https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/kidney-disease/ ) I would not recommend given any drug with phenylephrine to a dog. I cannot tell you an alternative as I don't know what is available in your country and I'm not sure why your vet was prescribing this medication. I suggest you consult with them since they have Chutki's medical history and can advise you better.
