Dogs can be prescribed a variety of antibiotics, including penicillin-class, cephalsporin-class, macrolides, fluoroquinolones and tetracycline-class. However, the dosage, route of adminstration (topical, oral, injectable), specific antibiotic and duration of treatment must be determined by a veterinarian after he/she examines the dog.
