Amoxicillin is the most common antibiotic in the penicillin class prescribed to dogs and cats for treating bacterial infections. Taken orally the dosage range is 10-20 mg/kg, divided into 2 doses daily for dogs and 3 doses daily for cats.
Different penicillins have different half lives in people and in dogs, so it's best to ask a veterinarian for advice, even when you plan to treat the dog yourself.
Penicillins kills bacteria by not letting them build a proper cell wall while they grow. But only take or give penicillin if you must because bacteria including Staphylococci can build resistance to this drug. They actually learn how to alter a molecular component of the antibiotic to make it ineffective!
Penicillin tablets and capsules can be stored at room temperature. Oral liquids in solution must be refrigerated and stay good for 14 days.
This drug works best if given 1 hour before feeding or 2 hours after. If stomach upset occurs penicillins may be given with food.
