Question

can I give my dog vigamox and how much do I give her?

Jennifer Summerfield, DVM CPDT-KA · Accepted Answer

Vigamox (moxifloxacin) is a human antibiotic that is not commonly used in dogs - in my experience, I have never used it and never heard of any other veterinarian using it in dogs. If you believe that your dog may need an antibiotic, she needs to be seen by a vet first in order to get a definite diagnosis on what's wrong with her. If she does need an antibiotic, your vet can prescribe one that is safe and effective for use in dogs.
