Clindamycin Hcl 75 Mg (Top voted first)

Updated

I have some Clindamycin 75 mg tabs left over from cat's recent illness. I would like to know if these exact same tabs can be given to dogs as well. I know my dog has had Clindamycin in the past. What is the appropriate dose in a dog weighing approx 18 -22 lbs?

Yes, they are the same, there is nothing species specific about them, though they may not be considered of a grade for human consumption.

Learn more Clinadmycin details here.

However, I don't know the dosing protocol for canines. Have you tried asking your vet? Are you sure your dog has an infection?

I realize that I am replying a bit late, but if this comes up again, consider that you could overdose an animal for which it was not prescribed, and (just like in humans) cause C. Difficule overgrowth by killing other gut bacteria that would otherwise keep it in check. C. Difficule releases a "toxin" that (in the large quantities resulting from overgrowth)will cause pseudo-membranous colitis. This produces severe diarhhea and pain. You probably do not want to risk your animal (or your carpets) experiencing that!
