Hi one of our dog is sick and my father went to the vet earlier to have her checked. He bought the prescribe medicine the problem is we don't understand how to prepare the medicine. Please advise. I'll be sending the image of the front and back of th
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).

Lupita had a salivary gland mucocele removed and a dental cleaning yesterday. Today they released her and prescribed 5mg of prednisone once a day and 3cc of Amoxicillin 250mg/5m TWICE a day, she weighs 9lbs - are these doses correct? It seems high an
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! My fist recommendation would be to call the vet to double check because amoxicillin has a very broad dose range. This is a little bit higher dose than I usually use but may be exactly what your vet wanted. (I would do about 2 cc’s twice daily for most patients her size.) There is not much harm in higher dosing, other than an increased risk of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea so don’t worry about poisoning Lupita. Twice daily dosing for the amoxicillin is definitely correct as this drug needs to be in the bloodstream for a sustained time to work properly. The prednisone dose is fine. Hope this helps and best of luck to you and Lupita!

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.

Hello, my dog started amoxicillin 4 days ago and her fur feels dry and she has a lot of dandruff. could it be related or is it most likely diet related? She’s never had the issue before.
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! This is not expected to be related to the amoxicillin. This could be related to the diet or another type of allergies. Something that can help with dry skin is fish oil. You can use the commercial kind for dogs you can get from the pet store or online. That is likely going to help her. Good luck and have a good night!

Hello. Vetamox & Augmentin are the exact same antibiotics : A combination of Amoxicillin & Clavulanate acid. I would not stop the medication until you see the other veterinarian tomorrow. All the best to Sparky & thanks for using Boop by Petco.
