How much amoxicillin can a 6.5 pound dog take?

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.

How much penicillin can you give to your 10 pound cat for a fight wound behind his right ear?

You should take him to the vet for that one. Found this off another question: If they are not allergic (some are) yes but only some kinds will be effective in cats, for example amoxicillin (amoxi-tabs). The dosage depends on the illness and the weight. Usually is 5-10mg/lb once a day for 5-7 days Don't ever give medication to an animal without consulting a veterinarian. For particular diseases, particular antibiotics should or should not be given. The wrong antibiotic in the wrong dosage can be very harmful to an animal and may contribute to antibiotic resistance in bacteria, which then can become more dangerous.


Can you give a 900 pound horse amoxicillin 500mg capsule pills for an anitbiotic?

Amoxicillin falls into the group of Penicillin type antibiotics and can be used for most of the same things. 500 mg is a common dosage for horses but it would be best to contact an equine vet and ask for specifics as it would be impossible to cover all the variables here. That being said however, seeing as 500 mg is a common dosage typically given every 8 hours, there shouldn't be too much harm in giving a horse of that weight Amoxicillin, provided it is to be used as an antibiotic, remember if the horse is displaying flu like symptoms, those are caused by a virus and an antibiotic will have absolutely no effect on them.


How much benadryl can you give a 7 pound dog?

This question should be asked of your veterinarian - you can probably call over to the clinic and ask rather than make an appointment. Unfortunately, trying to get human formulations of diphenhydramine (the drug in Benadryl) into a small enough dosage to be safe for a six pound dog is very difficult.
