Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Unfortunately you didn't provide your dogs weight so we can not give you doses. I recommend calling your Vet when they re-open. In the US it is not legal to prescribe medications with out a label and the medications not reconstituted (made in to a liquid from the powder form). Are you in the US? Also in the US we do not prescribe Acetominophen ( https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/tylenol/ ). I recommend calling your Vet regarding that medication as we can't recommend giving it to dogs. I am sorry but if you want to re-post with Ringa's weight we can probably help with the Amoxicillin).

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Amoxicillin is a twice a day antibiotic; without knowing the concentration of the liquid, I cannot comment on the dosage, however. If you are concerned, I would check in with her veterinarian in the morning. I hope she recovers well!

Can I give my dog amoxicillin for his pyoderma?
Yes, but I prefer cephalexin or cefpodoxime for skin infection. The amoxicillin dose for a dog 40lbs would be about 200mg every 12 hours. I would recommend seeing a vet though for appropriate antibiotic therapy recommendations. Topical therapy should also be considered. I typically recommend using a shampoo such as Douxo PS chlorhexidine combination shampoo and bathe twice weekly until the infection is resolved. I also recommend using welactin omega 3 fish oil and essential 6 spot on by dermoscent. Malacetic conditioning spray is also a good option to spray isolated areas on the body where infection is present. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. I am also available via consultation if needed.

How much amoxicillan can I give a 7 1/2 chihuahua? She was treated at animal control today for pyometra when they opened her up to be spayed. They recommended course of antibiotics, but weren't specific about how much or how long. She is in a rescu
Without a legal relationship, which in most states means that a physical examination has been performed on the pet, we cannot recommend specific drugs and dosages. I would recommend calling the vet who performed the surgery back and requesting guidance. I would also comment that amoxicillin is not a very good choice for post-op treatment of pyometra, and Gina needs something more broad-spectrum such as Clavamox or Baytril for at least 14 days.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Yes, human amoxicillin is the same that is used in dogs. Make sure to check with your veterinarian to make sure that she would benefit from this. Good luck and have a great day!
