Never give your dog amoxicillin intended for human use without veterinary guidance. Human and canine formulations differ in dosage and inactive ingredients. Incorrect administration can cause serious health problems.
A veterinarian will determine the appropriate amoxicillin type and dosage based on your dog’s weight, age, and specific condition. They’ll also consider potential drug interactions with other medications your dog may be taking. Always follow their instructions precisely.
Symptoms of amoxicillin overdose in dogs include vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. In severe cases, seizures and organ damage can occur. Seek immediate veterinary attention if you suspect an overdose. Keep amoxicillin out of your dog’s reach, preferably in a locked cabinet.
