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!

May I know like for skin infections best antibiotics is augmentin similarly may I know the best antibiotics for eye infection like pink eye ?
Hello and thank you for reaching out to Boop by Petco. Augmentin or Clavamox are typically effective for skin infections, but Cephalexin is generally more commonly used. Common ophthalmic antibiotics often include Neomycin or Orbifloxacin. I hope this is helpful!

Hi I wanted to know is there something I can but for my dog bacterial infection? Or does Petco help with that
Hi there. I'm afraid the only thing you can get over the counter for a bacterial infection would be a topical spray such as Vetericyn or Nutri-Vet - these products can sometimes be effective for something like a minor, localized skin infection. For anything more serious, you'll need to get prescription antibiotics from your veterinarian. Vetco clinics only do wellness care (vaccines, fecal exams, etc.), not visits for any type of medical problem - so if you think that Gunner has an infection, I would recommend making an appointment with a regular full-service veterinary office in your area for an exam and treatment.

The vet was going to fill a script at the office of amoxicillin and something else in it. She said it was two different drugs. I asked for a prescription and it was just amoxicillin. What would the other drug in the office version be? She also wants
Hello. I would suspect that your vet wanted to start Jake on Clavamox which is a combination of Amoxicillin & Clavulanic acid. This is a very good combination & very broad acting on many types of bacterial infections. Any time we switch a pet from one anti-inflammatory to another, we do want a short wash out period so we do not cause any problems, especially stomach ulcers. I do not know why your vet is switching Jake off the Rimadyl, but there are many other drugs in this class that work very well, too. I wonder if Jake may have some slightly elevated liver values, so switching to Galliprant is often done. This medication is easier on the liver than all other pain meds. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

I'm pretty sure my dog has a bacterial or yeast infection on his skin I can't afford to take him to the vet , in small doses can I give my dog human prescribed ammoxicillan
I would not advise giving your pet human doses of amoxicillin. Mainly because this kind of pulse therapy can actually create resistant bacteria on your pets skin and create an even bigger problem. Also you aren't treating the fungal infection at all, so the itchiness and irritation will still be there. There are also stronger antibiotics for skin out there that can help reduce the chance of creating resistant bugs and also are more effective. Here are some financial resources that I hope can help you afford to take Ruger in to your vet for proper treatment of his skin.
