You should never give antibiotics to any patient - cat, dog, human - without a prescription. The reason is that antibiotics only work for certain types of bacteria - if you use them for diseases that cannot be treated with that type of antibiotics, the medication will do more harm than good. It will not cure the disease, but the patient can experience unwanted side effects. In addition, misuse of antibiotics contributes to creating resistant bacteria that can cause very problematic diseases.
Your vet will tell you what type of antibiotics, if any, your cat needs, and if leftover medication from your dog will do.
