Amoxicillin, even for pets, can cause side effects. Common reactions include vomiting and diarrhea. Less frequent, but still possible, are skin reactions like rashes or hives.
In rare cases, amoxicillin may trigger more serious issues. These include allergic reactions, which can manifest as swelling of the face, difficulty breathing, or collapse. Contact your vet immediately if you observe any of these symptoms.
Kidney or liver problems are potential, albeit uncommon, consequences. Your veterinarian should monitor your pet’s health during and after treatment, especially if your pet has pre-existing conditions.
Always follow your veterinarian’s instructions precisely regarding dosage and administration. Never administer medication intended for humans to your pet; pet formulations are designed for their specific needs.
If you notice any unexpected changes in your pet’s behavior or health, consult your vet without delay. Early detection allows for prompt intervention and a better outcome.
Remember, this information is not a substitute for professional veterinary advice. Always discuss any concerns with your veterinarian before starting or changing your pet’s medication.
