What is the correct dosage of keflex for a dog with staph infection?

Answer 1

As an emergency veterinarian, I prescribe 22 mg/kg by mouth every 12 hours. It is difficult for owners to give their pets medications 3 times a day for 7-14 days. The standard dose is 22 mg/kg two times daily.

Answer 2

Considering the maximum therapeutical efficacy to treat hemoparasites 5mg/kg/BID at least for 28 days.

2nd Answer:

This medication should be given under a Veterinarian's care and guidance only. This particular medication can be deadly if old or expired or given the proper dose. Take your dog in to be treated by your Veterinarian.

Answer 3

Cephalexin is a very strong antbiotic. This medicine can only be prescribed by a veterinarian who SHOULD have put the dosing instructions on the pill bottle. DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT give this medication to any dog in which it has not been prescribed!

Answer 4

This will depend upon the formulation of the Cefaclor, the location and type of infection being treated and the overall health status of the dog. As Cefaclor is a prescription antibiotic, the good news is in the United States you don't need to figure this out on your own - your veterinarian will figure out the dose then write you a prescription specific for your dog, including dose administration route and frequency.

Answer 5

10-15 mg per pound every 8-12 hours for dogs and cats
