My dog is on antibiotics. Can I give her oral flea medicine?

Question

Can I give my dog antibiotics and oral flea medicine? My dog is on a round of antibiotics for a skin abrasion that got infected, today while cleaning/dressing the area I found 2 fleas. She is due for her monthly flea medicine, but I am nervous to give it to her as I didn't know if giving it to her would hurt her or render either of the medicines ineffective. Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | unspayed | 4 years and 6 months old | 45 lbs

Giving her the flea medication should not pose any issues if she is on antibiotics. You can wait about 2-3 hours after giving her the antibiotics before administering the flea medication (if it is oral) to be completely safe. That way, the antibiotics should be out of her stomach.
