Am I missing something why do you want to give your dog an antibiotic?
Antibiotics are not something that you just want to give a dog or a person with out a valid reason. Most times that is not what they need. If he has a cough just give him some children's cough medicine or expectorant. Antibiotics are only giving to dogs with colds or kennel cough to make sure that it does not turn into Pneumonia or something worse.
Unless your dog has been diagnosed with kennel cough or something else, I would only consider giving an antibiotic if he is not eating or lethargic. If he is coughing but other wise happy and eating. I would just give a CC of children's cough medicine.
My dog had Kennel cough for 3 months sometimes you need to let it run its course. I would like to hear more info as to why you want to jump straight to the antibiotic.
Not the wisest route to take if it is a minor cough. It could be as simple as a common Yorkie ailment of reverse sneezing.
Good luck! |
