Amoxicillin treats various bacterial infections in dogs. It’s a broad-spectrum antibiotic, meaning it’s effective against a wide range of bacteria.
Common Bacterial Infections Treated by Amoxicillin
This medication successfully combats skin infections like cellulitis and abscesses. It also helps resolve ear infections (otitis externa), urinary tract infections (UTIs), and respiratory infections such as pneumonia (when caused by susceptible bacteria). Amoxicillin is frequently used to treat bacterial infections secondary to wounds or bites.
Important Note: Always Consult Your Veterinarian
Amoxicillin is a prescription medication. Your vet will determine the correct dosage and duration of treatment based on your dog’s weight, the severity of the infection, and other health factors. Never administer amoxicillin to your dog without veterinary guidance. Incorrect use can lead to antibiotic resistance and harm your pet.
