My big dog got a whack today ,I gave him flucloxallin, it is for skin ,tears anti bacterial etc.Amoxcillin is more for the throat, and chest it is a broad spectrum anti biotic.

They are fine to use on dogs amoxacillin fluclox for deeper infections and erythomycin for shallow or skin ifections all used on people and dogs, for dogs use a lower dose.

sandymere 8,263 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Lordy. Antibiotics are effective if prescribed in the right dose for the appropriate bacteria. Different bacteria will need different antibiotcs. Using the wrong antibiotic or giving in the wrong dose leads to the bacteria building up resistance ie Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) just one example. Basically as we don’t want our children’s future to hold many people dying from what are presently treatable diseases that become untreatable because of ignorance leading to inappropriate dosing I suggest that you pay for and get the right antibiotics prescribed at the right dose for the right type of infection at the vets who should know what they are talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

all.rounder 3 Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 well went back round to the vets and got the tablets they ware called anti-robe and after a few days the invocation seems to be clearing up so thank fcuk . i will give her anther week and try her on some easy rabbits.so i looked up eBay for the tablets and they ware £1.49 each so it worked out the vet charged me £2.00 a tablet that's not bad.but at the end of the day it was a weight of my mind.
