Dogs can usually eat amoxicillin. It is recommended to eat it under the guidance of a doctor. Do not give it to the dog without permission. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic drug and can be used to treat infectious diseases. However, the dose of amoxicillin taken by dogs is different from that of humans. It requires the correct dose. Do not increase the dose of the drug privately, otherwise it will easily affect your health. When the body reacts unwell after taking the medicine, you need to seek medical treatment in time to find out the cause and further treatment.

1. Reasons for taking medications: Amoxicillin is generally tablets, capsules, granules, etc., and can be used to treat infectious diseases, such as pharyngitis, bronchitis, otitis media, bacterial pneumonia, etc. If a dog has one of the above types of infectious diseases, it is necessary to take amoxicillin for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. It can prevent the increase in inflammation in the body and help the disease be controlled.

2. Methods of using medicine

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

3. Drug precautions

Dogs generally need to calculate based on their age and weight when taking amoxicillin. Do not eat too much for a long time. Eating excessively for a long time will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, affect food digestion, cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. It may also cause thrombocytopenia and eosinophilia. Do not let the dog sleep in the air outlet or on the cold ground during the medication, so as not to worsen the condition and affect the recovery of the body. When you experience discomfort and worsen your reaction after taking medicine, you need to go to a regular hospital for treatment in time, otherwise it will easily affect your health.
