Always follow your vet’s instructions precisely. The dosage depends on your dog’s weight and the specific condition being treated.
For liquid Amoxil, use a syringe or oral medication dispenser for accurate dosing. This helps prevent spills and ensures your dog receives the correct amount.
- Gently place the syringe or dispenser between your dog’s cheek and gums, near the back of the mouth, to avoid accidental spitting. Slowly administer the medication, allowing your dog to swallow naturally. Avoid forcing the medication down quickly. Offer a small treat afterward to reward good behavior and mask the taste of the medicine.
Amoxil tablets can be crushed and mixed with a small amount of food if your dog refuses to swallow them whole.
- Choose a highly palatable food that your dog enjoys to ensure they consume the entire dose. Make sure the tablet is fully incorporated into the food to prevent your dog from detecting and avoiding the medication.
If your dog is struggling to take the medication, consult your veterinarian. They may offer alternative administration methods or suggest a different medication.
Monitor your dog for any adverse reactions, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or changes in appetite. Contact your vet immediately if you notice any unusual symptoms. Always administer the full course of Amoxil as prescribed by your veterinarian, even if your dog appears to be recovering. Stopping treatment early can lead to antibiotic resistance. Store Amoxil as directed on the label to maintain its potency and efficacy.
