Mild nausea, vomiting and diarrhea can also occur. While these symptoms can be upsetting, they are not signs of serious problems. Continue the medication and talk to your veterinarian about possible relief.
What special precautions are there?
Keep away from children and animals. Pregnant or nursing dogs should not be given doxycycline, as it interferes with bone growth. No milk or dairy products should be given together with doxycycline, unless the veterinarian explicitly recommends this. Before administering it to your dog, you should tell your veterinarian about any allergies to tetracycline or other similar antibiotics (Sumycin, Declomycin, Minocin, Dynacin, Panmycin). The drug cannot be administered in dogs with liver or kidney disorder.
Contact your nearest emergency animal hospital.
How can I store Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg Capsule?
Store in a cool dry place.
Doxycycline can be found in stores as 100 mg tablets or 100 mg capsules. The common dose for dogs is 2 to 5 mg per pound every 12 to 24 hours.
Doxycycline should be given to the dog exactly as the veterinarian prescribed it, not for longer and not in different doses. Should you feel the infection persists, consult your vet. Even if the symptoms improve, you should not discontinue doxycycline before indicated by the veterinarian.
Your pet will need plenty of water when taking doxycycline, but don’t administer the drugs with milk or daily products, as these reduce the absorption of the antibiotic.
If you miss a dose, give it when you remember it. However, if it's near the time for the next dose, do not give a double dose.
