The influence of the time of treatment in relation to feeding on the efficacy of amoxycillin therapy in dogs and cats.
A field trial comparing the clinically assessed response to amoxycillin therapy in 148 fasted and 129 non-fasted dogs and cats suffering clinically diagnosed bacterial infections is reported. A satisfactory response to treatment was obtained in 88.8% of these cases. The results indicate that the clinical response to amoxycillin therapy was not affected by the concurrent administration of the antibiotic with food.
