They may not harm the dog but will not be as effective. Upto 6 months over should be ok Quote Link to post
timmy k 591 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 That's not what I've been told and that was from a top nurse, but maybe I misunderstood, I'll check with him next time I see him Quote Link to post

They do diminish in effectiveness. The date stated will guarantee effectiveness up to that date. Most AB's are fairly stable so 6 months on to the end date should be fine. I know that from working for, and owning pharmaceutical companies in the past 25 years 1 Quote Link to post

king 11,980 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Do you think that crushing an antibiotic tab with a tea spoon of water into a paste and putting that into an open infected wound would do anything. Quote Link to post
trenchfoot 4,243 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Do you think that crushing an antibiotic tab with a tea spoon of water into a paste and putting that into an open infected wound would do anything. personally I would be cleaning it with salt water then hibiscrub alternatively before it got to that stage. Once it gets infected, vet job. It may cost but you have proof of duty of care. Just choose your vet wisely To answer the question directly, It may have an effect, but it would be limited. Oral preparations are "structured" so as to be stable through the gastric tract. As such dissolved in a little water, the major benefit would be from the syringing, not the AB. Quote Link to post
king 11,980 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Ah sound trench just curious.i wouldn't leave an open wound get that far myself.nothing to do with the duty of care to be honest.more of there my dogs and have the best I can give them.cheers king. Quote Link to post
