Dogs antibiotics are usually just expired human antibiotics. However, certain antibiotics work on certain bacteria, so you can take them and it may not help you at all, but make you worse because you have compromised your immune system and killed off much of the good bacteria. If money is so tight you cannot afford to go to a dr, you may want to try taking turmeric capsules and echinacea with goldenseal. About 4 twice a day. Turmeric works great on staph and strept infections.
it depends on what kind of antibiotics
This Better be a joke. Do not take them!
You should not be treating your dog with antibiotics without a prescription from a vet (in which case you would know the dosage to use). Indiscriminate and amateur use of antibiotics results in antibiotic resistance building up in bacteria and this means that antibiotics become ineffective for human use too. One day when you are ill you may need an antibiotic but it may not work because of what you are doing with your dog.
It maybe helpful because the bacteria in a human mouth is used to "clean" food, but since a dog pants constantly or what not. Their bacteria in their mouth is highly altered constantly keeping the dog's mouth free from harmful bacteria.
A condition in a dog's health cannot be transferred to a human. They may pass bacteria to a human but not a medical condition.
You should never give antibiotics to any patient - cat, dog, human - without a prescription. The reason is that antibiotics only work for certain types of bacteria - if you use them for diseases that cannot be treated with that type of antibiotics, the medication will do more harm than good. It will not cure the disease, but the patient can experience unwanted side effects. In addition, misuse of antibiotics contributes to creating resistant bacteria that can cause very problematic diseases. Your vet will tell you what type of antibiotics, if any, your cat needs, and if leftover medication from your dog will do.
can i mix aspirin and antibiotics for a dog If you want to kill yourself! ask a doctor about that.
A dog's mouth is cleaner because it contains less bacteria although these bacteria are more harmful to humans
ONLY if the veterinarian prescribes them.
If your dog has a urinary tract infection (UTI), you should take them to the veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment. The vet may prescribe antibiotics and recommend increasing water intake to help flush out the bacteria causing the infection. It's important to follow the vet's instructions and monitor your dog's symptoms closely.
You need to take your dog to a veterinarian. Your veterinarian will most likely give you antibiotics to give to you dog.
Anybody that says that human antibiotics will poison a dog, is an uneducated bonehead. Sorry, but it irritates me when someone will state opinion as fact. The fact is that antibiotics are antibiotics. Anti means against, biotic means living organisms, so what they do is kill microorganisms, it doesn't matter where they are living, human, dog, cat, etc. The difference for pets is dosage according to weight. Same as dosing for children. Just like with humans, dogs can have antibiotic allergies as well. Mild overdosing would not cause any serious harm, severe overdosing can cause kidney problems.
