No, unless your veterinarian has prescribed the medication for your dog. Dogs are not small humans and they can react very differently to medications than humans.
If you think your dog needs Levaquin, you should take him/her to your veterinarian for an examination. Incidentally, there are less expensive generic antibiotics that may be more effective if your dog needs antibiotic therapy, and your veterinarian can write you a prescription to an outside pharmacy for this. I know of several veterinarians that routinely write prescriptions for clients to fill at human pharmacies because the antibiotics and some of the maintenance medications are available for $4 a month or free that way.

Can you give cats levaquin?
Levaquin is an antibiotic that some veterinarians prescribe for canine infections. However, you should not dose a dog on your own. The amount a dog needs is different than what a human needs. It varies greatly from dog to dog. The weight, breed, and type of infection can all be variables. If you give your dog too much, it can make him very ill. If you give him too little, you can actually make the infection much worse. If you feel your dog is that ill, it definitely needs to go to a vet.
How much benadryl can you give a 7 pound dog?
This question should be asked of your veterinarian - you can probably call over to the clinic and ask rather than make an appointment. Unfortunately, trying to get human formulations of diphenhydramine (the drug in Benadryl) into a small enough dosage to be safe for a six pound dog is very difficult.
How much Xanax can you give a 36 pound dog to heavily sedate them for grooming?
You would NEVER give a dog Xanax for sedation. Human medications do not mix well with dogs or any animals & can cause death. Check with your Veterinarian about what sort of sedation to give your dog that would be safe.

How much adult capsules do you give a 14 pound dog benedrayl?
A dog should be give only regular strength Benadryl. For a small dog, it' probably easier to give it the liquid children's formula. The standard dose is one milligram for every pound given twice daily. So for your 14 pound dog, give 12-14 milligrams, twice a day. (If the lesser dose works, all the better!)
