Not sure about amoxicillian but our vet prescribed ceflexan 500mg, one pill twice daily for our dog after surgery. I think that they are close to the same thing.

Yeah, never throw antibiotics away.  My brother is a doctor and he told me that the expiration dates come from the pharmaceutical companies.   He said they don't expire in pill form.

Hey Trey, Amoxicillian and cefelxin are the same thing.  I have used it plenty on our dogs.  I give them 1 pile for 3 days for good measures if they got cut. kinda like penicillian treatment.  Tonya
