Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

Antibiotics are typically safe drugs, and the vet would only prescribe the necessary course to treat whatever illness he has. Being on courses of antibiotics for three days to up to two weeks is not very long, and this will not shorten his life span or cause body organ failure. Even if he was on very long term antibiotics, it would not cause those problems either.
