Okay, the first issue is that for an elderly animal, with a heart problem, a dental infection is far, far more dangerous than any medications used to help clear it up.

And when they direct you to keep it away from animals, they mean don't let them get ahold of it and eat the whole package, or let them get ahold of ones that aren't prescribed for them. Just like you would need to keep your medications out of reach of small children.

This is a generic for Augmentin and it is very commonly used to treat infections in both dogs and cats, so there is no need to worry so much.

I hope this eases your mind.

How is he doing?

Hi
My dog got in a fight with another dog and he was bitten on his face and one paw, I can't afford a vet. I have Amox-Clav 875mg can I give that to him for right now. He has swelling on his paw and he can't put any pressure on it can I give him the Amox-Clav as a temporary solution?

I have a beagle that is about 30lbs. He has really bad teeth that we have treated with antibiotics before. He had a dental cleaning a few months ago. It is now the weekend and his snout has started swelling again. Can I give him Amox TR-K CLV 500-125 MG TAD? If so, how much? I do plan to call the vet Monday morning and have him seen.

Was told my dog could have bad tooth or nasal cancer
I gave her the amox/ clav and it worked great for over three months
Now having some nasal noise again
She is 15 and everything they would do would mean she would be given anesthesia and at her age that scares me
She seems happy enough and eats well so what to do
Good luck to you

Is she fixed? If not she could be just going in to heat. That would explain the swollen vagina and the discharge
