I hope this works I would hate for him to loose his teeth
??? are the teeth loose? We see a bc dentist and if teeth are loose i get teeth out as antibiotics will not turn that around - this does not make sense to me

My dee dee is taking clindamyacin for staph infection and gets 1.2 ml daily for 25 days - she gets it once a day and doing fine on it but it can cause stomach upset so make sure to give mid meal so i feed 1/2 food give antibiotic then feed her next half

you may want to call mfg about what vet is telling you but clindamyacin is usually used in dentals but i did skin culture and it will work for staph as well and dd got hives from simplicef so we are using this one instead now.
