Always consult your veterinarian before administering amoxicillin to your dog. Dosage depends heavily on your dog’s weight and the specific condition being treated. A typical dose ranges from 5 to 11 mg per pound of body weight, administered twice daily. However, your vet will provide the precise amount.
Amoxicillin comes in various forms: tablets, capsules, and liquid suspensions. Liquid suspensions are generally easier to administer, especially to smaller dogs or those with difficulty swallowing pills. Follow your vet’s instructions carefully regarding the correct form and administration method.
Store amoxicillin as directed on the label, usually in a cool, dry place. Discard any leftover medication after the prescribed treatment period. Never give your dog expired medication. Observe your dog closely for any adverse reactions, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or skin rash. Report any unusual symptoms to your veterinarian immediately.
