i thought i would get a faster response from this board =)
i've read a lot of posts about giving dogs fish cephalexin for infected chin acne. i have a couple of questions before i order some: (cooper is 13 months old & weighs 56 lbs)
does it matter what brand i order?
should i order 250mg pills or 500mg pills?
is the proper dosage 500mg 3 times daily?
how many days do i give this to him? (i would assume 7-10, but not sure)
thanks for any help! i just can't get rid of those darn pimples on his chin no matter what! i keep it clean & dry (i've tried the apple cider vinegar & oxy pads). i wash his dishes daily. i think he needs a little help (like antibiotics). i had to do this once for pearl when she was a puppy so i'm familiar with it. otherwise i would definitely take him to the vet, but times are tough & we need to save where we can. thanks again!
thank you so much!
i'm going to order some right away! my poor guy's chin looks so sore =( (not to mention stinky & ugly)

I give one 500mg pill with breakfast and one with dinner in a little piece of Velveeta cheese.
