Again, learn what the risk of infection is in your area given your dog's lifestyle and compare that to potential adverse effects of the medication. Good luck finding information on the latter. What studies you find are likely funded by drug companies.
Keep in mind that my mother, deceased 2 years ago at age 84, remembered her aunt's dogs living upwards of 20 years old. Something has shortened their lives but we're hard pressed to prove it with "scientific" studies.
