The ClindaCure is "for therapy of wounds, abcesses and dental infections". Buster had two baby teeth extracted (that should have been removed almost two years ago when he was neutered) and a cleaning. I might get one dose in him but I doubt if I will get much more. Has anyone had to give this? Is it really necessary?
Yes, it is an antibiotic. Just like in humans they are to ward off and help with infection. I had milo on it and there was not a problem in giving it to him. Try giving a small piece of a yummy treat than the drops than a treat again. That should make it easier.
