My 3lb Yorkie needs Amoxidrop. How do I find the correct dosage?
Unfortunately we cannot prescribe dosages for your pet unless we have physically examined him. The best advice here is to simply call your pets veterinarian for a dosage. Your pets vet has examined Elvis and therefore would be able to share this information with you, if it is the right course of treatment for him. I wish you all the best moving forward and hope that Elvis feels better from whaterver illness he has. Take care.

How do I prepare my sick small dog's vet-prescribed medicine?
Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! 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).

How to give amoxicillin to a puppy who keeps spitting it out?
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.

Vet Q & A
Should I give my dog amoxicillin for his pyoderma skin infection?
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 amoxicillin for a chihuahua after pyometra surgery?
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.
