Yes and no. The active ingredient amoxicillin is the same, but the inactive ingredients may be different depending upon the formulation. Please note that you should never give human medications to your pet without a veterinarian's prescription - pets can react very differently to human medications and can die as a result of accidental overdose.

Amoxicillin is a penicillin-derived antibiotic commonly used to treat Gram positive bacterial infections. The drug itself is the same in both the canine and equine formulations, but the inactive ingredients, concentration and route of administration are very different. A veterinarian could not use a canine formulation to treat a horse, nor use an equine formulation to treat a dog.

What kind of antibiotics are good for cats colds?

None. A cold, in a cat as in a human, is caused by viruses. Antibiotics do not help virus-caused diseases. Your vet may prescribe amoxycillin in cases where he believes there is a bacterial component. The amount of any prescription will, of course, depend on the weight of the cat, and you should not try to guess the amount yourself.

Would human amoxicillin take care of a sneezing cat?

There's no such thing as "human amoxicillin", and you should not give unprescribed antibiotics to your cat (you shouldn't even HAVE them... you're supposed to take all the antibiotics prescribed for you, even if you "feel better" when you've still got pills left).

Are cats allergic to human antibiotics?

One must NEVER give a cat human medicine. Not because cats are allergic, its because it is incredibly easy to overdose and that can often be fatal. Cats are much, much smaller than humans, so giving a cat human antibiotics, even in a small amount, is incredibly dangerous. If a has fallen ill or is in pain or has an infection, take it to the vets immediately so can be treated with medicine that is completely safe for cats.
