Is oxytetracycline safe for dogs??

Just wondering if oxytetracycline[the ingredient in LA-200]safe for canine use.I know alot of medicine is crossed over for canine use and wondered if LA-200 could be also?Just curious.

 

It is useful to treat cats and dogs.
Oxytetracycline is an antibiotic that inhibits bacteria by suppressing protein synthesis and growth.
Oxytetracycline belongs to a general class of drugs known as tetracyclines. Other related drugs in this class include doxycycline, tetracycline and minocycline.
Oxytetracycline is effective against a wide range of bacteria as well as one-celled (protozoa) organisms. It is effective against bacteria that infect the eyes, mouth, bone, respiratory tract, sinuses and blood cells.

 

That's what I was wondering.I know the vet says never ever give it to a horse,he said it'd kill it.Just didn't want to make that mistake with a dog,we use it on our cattle and baby calves if they get pneumonia and thought it probaly wouldn't hurt a dog but wanted to make sure.

 

I am not saying it's totally safe because I don't know if it may have any side affects. I know my vet uses it for certain things, but usually gives Keflex. You might want to research it a little more with your vet.

Here's a link for you.
