Antibiotics / Antibacterials (infection treatment) These are prescription drugs used for bacterial infections. Gentamicin (Opticare / Otidex) – eye drops & ear drops for bacterial infections, Doxycycline (Tetra-tab / Biocure) – respiratory, tick-borne diseases (e.g., ehrlichiosis), Oxycycline HCl – broad infections (respiratory, urinary, blood-borne, leptospirosis, etc.),Streptomycin /Neomycin combinations (Scourvet) – diarrhea + bacterial gut infections,Sulfadiazine combinations (Scourvet) – diarrhea + coccidia control
Key point: these should only be used under veterinary guidance because wrong use → resistance, toxicity, or gut imbalance.

Important safety pattern across your list
A few general rules apply to MANY of these:
-
Antibiotics (doxycycline, gentamicin, etc.) → only with vet prescription
-
Flea/tick chemicals (permethrin, fluralaner) → dosage matters heavily
-
Human supplements ≠ animal dosing standards
-
Mixing antibiotics + probiotics may reduce probiotic effect (timing matters)
