Best human antibiotics for a dog on dog bite?
My mutts been in a scrap and been bitten on hus leg. Punture wounds are small but it has swollen up a bit. Most anti biotics are suitable for dogs and humans, but which are best for this? Amixcillan and cipro come up on google, would these help this injury?

Amoxicillin and clavulanate is a good combi (available in one tablet). Wound cleaning immediately after the bite is much more effective than taking antibiotics afterwards though. And antibiotics will not reduce the risk of getting infected with rabies. Wound cleaning does.pedros wrote:My mutts been in a scrap and been bitten on hus leg.

Rabies isn't a problem (I hope/think). I'm worried about a possible break or fracture, but fuck it, it's a village dog, plenty more out there, but as a reasonable dog lover feel i should try before his leg goes septic and he becomes dinner.
1/2 an amoxicillan mixed in water and injected down the throat it is. God rewards a try and that.....

If you want your dog for dinner, do that. If you want to save it, hide the tablet in some meat.....pedros wrote:Rabies isn't a problem (I hope/think).

Amoxicillin is a medication that can be mixed with food or water without any loss in efficacy. You can mix it with water and use a small syringe to give it to her. Another option is to place it in a bit of peanut butter, baby food, cheese or bread if those are foods that are attractive to her. You just need to make sure she gets it all. You mention she's not eating, is this normal for her? If not then you may want to have her rechecked as an old dog that isn't eating or drinking can get into trouble. Maybe your veterinarian can get her started off on her antibiotic treatment with an injection as well. Kara, DVM

When I read 'inject in the throat' I assumed the OP was thinking of actually injecting it in the blood stream.....
