Veterinarians prescribe clindamycin for the treatment of infections in cats and dogs. It can be used to treat bacterial infections that are sensitive to antibiotics, such as dental infections, soft tissue infections, and bone infections. Clindamycin belongs to the lincosamide family of antibiotics. It kills anaerobic bacteria by interfering with protein production and binding to bacterial RNA, both of which are necessary for bacterial growth and survival.

Unless your veterinarian tells you differently, make sure you give the entire prescription. Even if the pet appears to be improving, the treatment program should be finished to avoid the development of resistance or recurrence. The type of the infection will determine the frequency, dose, and length of treatment. The normal oral dose for cats is 2.5 milligrams per pound every 12 hours or 10 milligrams per pound daily. Dogs should be given the medication orally. 5mg per pound of body weight every 12 hours, or 10mg per pound of body weight daily, is the typical dose. Consult your veterinarian for instructions, and never administer medicine without first getting permission from your veterinarian.
