What happens if you give a dog expired amoxicillin?
Hopefully, nothing. Unfortunately, after the drug is expired, the antibiotic and the inert carrier chemicals it is mixed into start to degrade. This degradation is unpredictable in the field and could do anything from rendering the antibiotic inert (ie, no longer an effective drug) to turning the antibiotic or one or more of the other chemicals into a potent toxin that could severely injure or kill the dog.

What is wrong with medicine after it is expired?
There are many things that can go wrong in a medicine, depending upon what type of medicine it is. Primarily, most medicines can degrade, which means the chemicals weaken. The drug is then less effective for the purpose it is needed. For example, if an antibiotic's chemical make-up weakens, it will not fight the infection as it should if the medication was not expired. When someone with an infection takes an expired medication, the bacteria then continue to multiply, unchecked. The person would get sicker even though taking the expired antibiotic. I would just go out and buy a new bottle or obtain a new prescription.
What if a person takes an expired antibiotic suspension?
Antibiotic suspensions (i.e. Amoxicillin, clavulin, etc.) typically have a shelf life of two weeks if stored in the fridge, at room temperature it is likely it will expire within a week. When suspensions become "expired", drug efficacy is often greatly reduced due to factors such as reduced solubility, dissolution, absorption, drug degradation, crystal formation, etc... Overall an expired suspension will have greatly reduced efficacy and may lead to bacterial resistance which can lead to severe infections - ubc pharm 2014
