Should a Vet perscribe antibiotics after extracting teeth from a dog?
probably only if there was an infection which just like humans most dentists give us antiobiotics to get rid of the infection before doing work
Reply:i thought dogs had some type of anitbiotic in their syliva, thats why they lick there wounds
Reply:Yes so it doesnt get infected
Reply:YES! After extracting teeth your dog will have open sores in it's mouth. These open sores are an open invatation to bacterial! Most vets should give antibotic to prevent infections!
Reply:yes
Reply:Yes definitely. I have a Tiny little Min Pin 3 1/2 lbs who broke his jaw when biting down on large biscuit. He also broke off one of his back teeth and it had to be extracted. I gave him all of his antibiotics, but about a month later, his head swelled up to the size of a grapefruit and the infection went to his brain. He was hospitalized for 2 weeks and I almost lost him.





Many dogs, especially very small ones, produce an incredible amount of bacteria in their mouths. I have to get his teeth cleaned about every six months. I also brush them twice a week and use Breathalyzer (helps control tartar) in his drinking water. Good luck!
Reply:The answer is yes..After pulling teeth, a hole is left in the gums from the root of the tooth. A dogs mouth is full of bacteria and vunerable to infection.Depending on the situation, antibiotics can be prescribed before and after the pulling to prevent any infection to the exposed gums..
