Contact your veterinarian immediately if your dog displays vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite lasting more than 24 hours after starting amoxicillin. These could indicate gastrointestinal upset.
Observe your dog for signs of allergic reaction: skin rash, hives, swelling of the face or paws, difficulty breathing. These are serious and require immediate veterinary care. Administering antihistamines at home before veterinary consultation is generally not recommended.
Monitor for changes in your dog’s behavior, including lethargy, unusual weakness, or seizures. These may signal neurological side effects that need prompt investigation and treatment.
If your dog develops jaundice (yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes), this suggests potential liver problems and requires immediate veterinary assessment.
Note any changes in urine or stool color, consistency, or frequency. Abnormal findings could indicate organ damage and warrant a veterinary checkup.
If your dog experiences a sudden, unexplained fever, or shows any signs of infection despite treatment, contact your vet immediately. Amoxicillin may not be addressing the underlying issue effectively.
