Yes way to much. where are you getting this medication at ?
Dosage is 10 milligrams per pound of body weight. if dog weighs
50 lbs.... 10x50 = 500 mg. so you would give the dog 500 mg once every 12 hours
for a total of 1,000 mg daily
If the dog weighed 25 lbs. 10x25 = 250. so you would give the dog 250 mg every 12 hours for a total of 500 mg.
if you have a very tiny dog say 12-15 lbs. you'd have to open the capsule and pour some of the medication out to get a correct dosage.
so if someone is giving their dog 3,000 mg a day the dog would have to weigh
150 lbs so yeah way to much. 3,000 mg is what a human being usually takes.
you could end up killing your dog giving him/her that much medication.
always give antibiotics with food. unless doctor instructs other wise. because antibiotics can be rough on the stomach and food helps as a natural buffing agent
