Can you give Amoxiciilln to your cat?

Why would you want to give your cat amoxicillin? If your cat is acting sick, then take him or her to your Veterinarian to diagnose what is truly wrong with the cat. Using antibiotics on any animal when you don't know what is wrong with it can be dangerous. You need to know what is wrong first, then what treatment or antibiotic (if one is needed) is the right way to treat your cat. There are so many dangers in giving antibiotics. Such as, did you know that Tetracycline when old or outdated can become toxic? Certain types of amoxicillin such as the powdered type should be refrigerated, etc. You could under dose or overdose or just flat make your pet sicker, so it is very important to take your pet into your local Vet to be diagnosed first. Good luck to you and your cat.
