Vet Q & A
Is my dog's dental Clindamycin dose safe? When to give probiotics?
Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You can give the probiotic while you are giving the clindamycin. The dose of clindamycin for dental abscesses is: 5.5-33mg/kg by mouth every 12 hours. He is receiving 25mg/kg, I hope this helps!

Is it okay to give my dog doxycycline or clindamycin for warts?
No. Warts are typically viral in nature. Antibiotics will have no effect on them. Inappropriate antibiotic use may lead to resistant bacteria and delayed diagnoses. It is best to discuss any medication with your veterinarian prior to giving it to your pet.

Vet Q & A
My cat's infected bite: Can I use topical meds if he won't take pills?
Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I'd call your Vet tomorrow and ask if they have the injectable antibiotic called convenia. I think that will solve you having to medicate Cinco. But yes the ointment baneocin should be ok, just prevent him from licking it. It may not be enough, especially if your Vet felt he needed to be on oral antibiotics. Good luck!

Can my kitten take Clavamox oral and Clindamycin injections together?
They are safe to use together however clavamox has a high rate of causing nausea/loss of appetite too. Of course consult with your veterinarian as I do not know what condition your little baby has and one of or both of those may be uneccesary. With all of these antibiotics I also definitely recommend a probiotic like benebac gel. Best of luck to you and the kitten!

My cat's 250mg amoxicillin capsules vs 50mg dose. What to do?
You cannot if they are capsules. It is best to return to the pharmacy and get the correct dosage. If they don't have the correct size in capsules then they can give you a liquid that can be dosed properly.
