Antibiotics

Antibiotics (also called antibacterials) are drugs used to treat bacterial infections. They work by slowing down the growth of bacteria that cause contagious diseases. Antibiotics should not be misused as this may result in the emergence of antibacterial-resistant bacteria.

Is antibiotic spray safe for cats?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Unless it is medicine given to you by a vet, then no. Human medicine is made for humans. Cats are much smaller than humans, so giving a cat human medicine can easily lead to an overdose which can ultimately kill the cat. If your cat needs treatment, take it to a vet where they can prescribe medicine that is safe to use on your cat.

What is the correct cefdinir dosage for cats?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The correct Cefdinir dosage for cats would be 10 milligrams per kilogram once a day. However, if the infection is respiratory in nature, the antibiotic may not cover the infection completely. A visit to the veterinarian is recommended.

Can you give a dog medication for worms while on an antibiotic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends on the type of worm. If you don't KNOW, ask your Vet. Pyrantel Pamoate Suspension is often used by kennel owners for pinworms. It's inexpensive and available without an Rx on the net.

Draw the correct amount by the dog's weight into a syringe (without the needle) and spray against the top of the dog's mouth (to keep it from going down the "wrong pipe"). Keep your dog's area clean, as in pick up waste immediately and check their stool to see if they need a second dose and minimize reinfection.

Pinworms can also be transferred to humans. If you train 20-30 dogs at a time, you're likely to catch them, sooner or later. The same formulation will work -- that's what it was made for -- it tastes pleasantly minty. Follow dosage on the container.

As long as you make sure that they won't lick it off, then you can use a suitable amount on a small wound at home. I put some on our outside cat when he had a wound, and it worked just fine and he was great. It comes off on stuff when they rub though, so you might want to put some sort of bandage on there too.

Can antibiotics make cats sleepy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Amoxicillin is not known to cause sleepiness or lethargy as a common side-effect, but all cats respond to antibiotics differently. The most common side-effect for this drug is diarrhoea and perhaps vomiting. It could be that the infection itself is making the cat lethargic, but only a vet will be able to tell you.

If you are worried about your cat, even if it is on antibiotics, call your vet.

Are cat antibiotics the same as human antibiotics?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes and no. The active ingredient amoxicillin is the same, but the inactive ingredients may be different depending upon the formulation. Please note that you should never give human medications to your pet without a veterinarian's prescription - pets can react very differently to human medications and can die as a result of accidental overdose.

Is it OK to give your dog human penicillin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

2nd Answer:

Never treat your dog at home with antibiotics when you do not know what is going on. It should always be done under a Veterinarian's care. You need to take your dog to see your Veterinarian to check it out. The Vet will know what the proper medication is to treat your dog with & the proper dosage for your dog. Don't try to give your dog any medication at home. You don't know if penicillin is appropriate for your dog's condition nor the proper dosage or if your dog is allergic to penicillin.

1st Answer:

Yes you can but just a small amount. 1 CC per 100 pounds. Give the shot in the hip or thigh muscle. WARNING do not inject in a vein! When you insert the shot pull back on the syringe. If you see blood then take it out and insert the needle somewhere else.

What antibiotic can your cat take?

There are many different antibiotics that can be administered to cats, many of which are very similar to those prescribed for humans. However, the formulation and doseage is very different, so these medications must be prescribed by a veterinarian for the specific animal and infection.

Can dog take human antibiotics for bacteria?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Are the cows given growth hormones and antibiotics that are processed by Omaha Steaks?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. If they did it would be a portion of their marketing. Omaha Steaks sells factory beef at a premium that is laced up with tenderizers, preservatives, antibiotics, hormones, and every other mechanically and technologically engineered aspect you could consider. Just purchase beef that is specified organic and you will save money and your lifespan.

Can you have a drink of beer after 1 tablet of Doxycycline?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can, but the effectiveness of the Doryx will be reduced -- perhaps to the point of not working at all. In that event, you run the risk of your bacteria developing a resistence to the drug, so that it will not work even if you're not drinking.

We wouldn't.
