Can dogs take amoxicillin?

Pet Knowledge
Dogs can generally eat amoxicillin, but it is recommended to take it under the guidance of a doctor. Do not give it to dogs privately. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic drug that can be used to treat infectious diseases. However, the dosage of amoxicillin for dogs is different from that for humans. It needs to be taken at the correct dosage. You cannot increase the dosage of the drug without permission, otherwise it will easily affect your health. When you experience discomfort after taking medicine, you need to seek medical attention promptly to find out the cause and receive further treatment.

1. Reasons for medication

Amoxicillin is generally available in tablets, capsules, granules, etc., and can be used to treat infectious diseases, such as pharyngitis, bronchitis, otitis media, bacterial pneumonia, etc. If the dog develops one of the above types of infectious diseases, it needs to be treated with amoxicillin under the guidance of a doctor, which can prevent the increase in inflammation in the body and help control the disease.

2. How to use the medicine

If the dog is given medicine in capsule form, the capsule needs to be opened, then the medicine powder is poured out, absorbed with water and then fed to the dog. If you choose granules or tablets, you need to use warm water to dissolve the medicine, and then feed it directly to the dog.

3. Drug Precautions

Dogs taking amoxicillin generally need to be calculated based on their age and weight. Long-term overeating is not allowed. Long-term overeating will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. It affects food digestion and causes symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. It may also cause thrombocytopenia and eosinophilia. Do not let the dog sleep in a draft or on the cold ground while taking the medicine, as this may aggravate the condition and affect the body's recovery. When you experience physical discomfort or worsening reactions after taking medicine, you need to go to a regular hospital for treatment in time, otherwise it will easily affect your health.
