Antibiotics can be lifesavers, however it's imperative to use them as directed by your veterinarian. It's tempting to stop giving your dog his medicine if he appears to be on the mend, thinking he doesn't need any additional medication or you might save the rest for later, just in case.

Many antibiotics carry side effects, such as gastrointestinal effects, so discuss what to expect with your vet. references
