Amoxi Drop (Amoxicillin)

Amoxi Drops is a broad-spectrum antibiotic comprising semi-synthetic penicillin. The prescription antibiotic is used for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections in dogs. These include ear infections, respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, tooth abscesses, wounds, and skin infections. Amoxicillin, the active ingredient in Amoxi Drops, is effective against several gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, such as streptococci, pneumococci, Haemophilus influenzae, etc. However, it doesn’t work against infections caused by staphylococci, klebsiella, and enterobacter. Also, it can’t be used for the treatment of viral or fungal infections. It’s important to talk to a licensed veterinarian before administering amoxicillin to your dog.

Typically, amoxicillin is considered safe for administration to dogs. The most common side effects of amoxicillin in dogs include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. Make sure you consult your veterinarian if the side effects don’t subside within the first few days of administering the medication. Also, amoxicillin can cause adverse reactions in dogs who are allergic to penicillin. Common symptoms of an allergic reaction to penicillin include rashes, fever, facial swelling, rapid heartbeat, and breathing problems. Other serious side effects include severe or bloody diarrhea, seizures, and bleeding. Consult your vet to find out whether your dog is allergic to penicillin.

The recommended dose of amoxicillin in cats is 5 to 10 mg/lb of body weight. Each dose should be administered after a 12 to 24-hour interval. Your vet will determine the correct dosage and duration of medication depending on the kitten’s health and the infection that’s being treated. Make sure you don’t administer the antibiotic to your pet without talking to your vet first.

Amoxicillin should be administered to cats at 12 to 24-hours intervals. Most cats will need to take the medication for at least a week or 10 days before their infection is healed. However, it’s up to your vet to determine the exact duration of treatment. Make sure you continue to give the medication for as long as your vet has prescribed (even if the symptoms subside).

While amoxicillin is considered safe for use in cats, an overdose of the medication could trigger various adverse reactions. Common signs of overdose include gastrointestinal distress, hives, excessive thirst, and discolored urine. Also, an overdose could result in toxicity, which has the potential to harm your cat’s nervous system. It could even cause damage to the liver and kidneys. That’s why it is important to consult your vet before administering amoxicillin to your cat.

The recommended dose for amoxicillin in dogs is 5 to 10 mg/lb of body weight, given after every 12 to 24 hours. However, the precise dosage of medication depends on the type of infection that’s being treated. Talk to a vet about the correct dosage before giving amoxicillin to your dog.

Amoxicillin starts working within the first 1 to 2 hours of administration. However, it’ll take a few days before you start noticing any improvement in your dog’s condition. Make sure you continue to give the medication for the prescribed duration, even if your dog’s condition improves. If your dog doesn’t show any signs of improvement after the first few days of giving amoxicillin, make sure you immediately consult your vet.
