Is Augmentin safe for my dog's draining abscess? What's the dosage?

Question

Can you use Augmentin SR 62.5mg for a draining abscess on a dog. If so how much for 42kg dog. Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | unneutered | 93 lbs

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use Augmentin but you are going to need a lot of 62.5mg tablets for a 42kg dog! The dose ranges from 5 to 12 mg per pound (10 to 25 mg/kg) twice a day. That means for a dog this size, he needs 420 to 1,050mg at each dose. Even using the lowest end of the dosing range you would have to give him 7 tablets twice a day.
