Pet Antibiotics

Nothing is more heart-breaking than the sight of an ill pet. And while antibiotics are incredibly powerful drugs that can successfully kill or stop the growth of multiplying bacteria, one needs to take extreme caution before administering them to your pet. Antibiotics are generally very safe drugs, as they are rarely accompanied by any side effects. They can be used on a wide assortment of infections. However, pet antibiotics must be used properly to ensure that no future bacteria will become 'resistant' to the drug. If you suspect your dog or cat needs antibiotics or anti-infectives, then visit a veterinarian immediately. Afterwards, browse through PetCareRx.com to order pet antibiotics, all available at some of the lowest prices, with an additional $15 discount coupon.

Cephalexin is the most commonly prescribed, FDA approved, antibacterial pet medication. Used to treat bacterial infections of the skin, urinary tract, respiratory tract, bones and joints. Available in two different capsule dosages, and in liquid format for both dogs and cats. Another type of oral antibiotic is Clavamox, a potentiated penicillin pill used for bacterial infections. Make sure your pet is not allergic to penicillin before administering this medication.

If your pet is showing signs of a superficial eye infection such as pink eye, then apply a small amount of the antibiotic Terramycin eye ointment to the inside of your pet's eyelid two to four times a day. Or, try the B.N.P. Triple Antibiotic Ophthalmic Ointment. This FDA approved drug can be used on both canine and feline species. Also available: Amoxicillin, Tetracycline, Metronidazole and more.

As with all human antibiotics, pet antibiotics and anti-infectives should be administered by following the exact directions given on the label. It is also essential for the prescription to be completely finished before the drug can officially rid your pet from all dormant bacteria.
