the milk isn't really harmful, but there are certain medicines that won't work very well (or at all) if taken with milk. In most of the ones where milk causes issues, it is usually the calcium ions (positively charged metallic ions) that cause the problems. they stop the body from being able to absorb some kinds of medicines. I know one kind of antibiotics that are affected by milk are the 'tetracycline' family of antibiotics.

If you have questions about specific drugs, ask your pharmacist.

How do you give medicine to your pet animal?

The best way to give pets their medicine, especially if it don't taste good, is in their food or water or their favorite treat. Now depending on the medicine and what is in their food might be taken into consideration. Like antibiotics and milk don't mix, the milk pretty much cancel the good the antibiotics does for the pet. Always make sure you give the right dosage and the right kind of any medication to your pet and that the treat you give him/her will not counteract to the meds or be harmful to your pet.
