Is Amoxicillin for dogs okay for my spayed cat's incision bump?
Hello there, Many medications are only labelled for dogs because it saves the pharmaceutical company money. Amoxicillin and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid have both been commonly and safely used in cats for decades. This is a normal first line treatment and accurate dose for a mild skin inflammation or infection. If the incision area becomes red, swells rapidly, or begins to drain excessive fluid, or she begins to act differently- such as lethargic or uninterested in food, that would warrant a recheck with your veterinarian. At this time, her incision does not appear red and the scabbing appears quite dry and non-inflamed, so I am not overly concerned. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

What are the best antibiotics for my dog's eye infection or pink eye?
Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. 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!

Why combine amoxicillin & what dog pain medication replaces Rimadyl?
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 Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

My dog has a chest infection. Should I stop or switch antibiotics?
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 Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
