My dog had 7 pups 5 weeks ago, and we’ve been giving them amoxicillin for 3 days, because they have a virus. Today I found a roundworm in one of their stools, do you think it’s likely they all have worms? Is it okay to treat them while their on amoxi
Unless the amoxicillin was prescribed by your veterinarian, you should stop giving it, as it does not work against viruses. If one puppy has roundworms, then all puppies will have roundworms and should be treated with a puppy wormer available from your vet or a petshop. Any wormer which is specified as a puppy wormer should be effective. Puppy wormers are either in tablet or paste form and are given by mouth.

How much amoxicillin should be given to a nursing 4lb dog for metastasis?
The dose of amoxicillin for dogs that is typically recommended is 20 milligrams per kilo of body weight every 12 hours. If you mean "mastitis," I would advise you that amoxicillin is not a great choice for this condition. Mastitis should be treated with more broad spectrum antibiotics, such as Baytril or Clavamox. It's also quite a painful condition, and needs pain medications that are safe to use in nursing bitches. Please consult your veterinarian for a full exam of Caramel as well as prescription of appropriate medications; this is not a condition that can be treated at home.

Hi there. Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid is a very safe antibiotic and is not very hard on the kidneys and liver. It can cause gastric upset if given on an empty stomach, so I would recommend just giving with some food. If you see changes in urination or drinking habits you can have him checked out for his kidneys, but this medication should be fine for Danny. I would only just check out how much Danny weighs. The normal dose for Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid is 12.5mg/kg, so I would be giving 375mg every 12 hours to Danny assuming he weighs 30kg. Antibiotics have very large ranges in terms of dosing, and different countries will have slightly different formulations, so I would check this with your vet, as the dose may be higher with the specific compounding that your vet uses.

Hello. The normal dose is 12.5mg/kg, however you can give a higher dose as well, sometimes up to 20mg/kg (however this is usually reserved for very severe infections and given IV). A dose for a 34kg dog would be 425mg - so approximately 500mg, twice daily for 10 days. At this dose his kidney/liver should not be affected.

I was given amoxicillin to give to my puppy of two months . He keeps spitting them out! Is there any other way to give them to him? Am I able to smash them up as a powder?
If they are tablets, you can crush them and mix into a tiny bit of puppy food. You can also contact your veterinarian and ask for Amoxi-drops. This is the liquid form of the antibiotic and may be easier to administer.
