      Try giving him a child's portion, depending on his wt. I"ve done that with my cat. I've put a little liquid human antibiotics in his moist canned food. It seemed to work. You can certainly put human antibiotic ointment on his outer wounds.
      When he had Vet antibiotics prescribed once, it was the samne thing humans take ----Amoxicillan......an old derivative of Pennicillan.

        Not unless you check with the Vet first. You can kill your dog very easily by doing things like this. Always ask a Vet about using medicines meant for people on an animal.

          If he's not real young or real old you should just open the infection up and sqeeze out the goo if there is any and put hydrogen peroxide on it until it looks good. You wont mess with his imune system that way...imo

            You might do more harm than good to your pet.I know Vet fees are quite expensive but you owe it to your pet to provide the neccasary care when needed.Some Vets will let you pay the account off.
