Macrobid (nitrofurantoin) is a human medication used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs). It's unsafe to give human medications to dogs without a veterinarian's guidance.
Here's why:
* Dosage: Human medications are formulated for human body weight and metabolism. Giving a dog human medication can result in an overdose.
* Drug interactions: Medications can interact with each other, even in different species.
* Toxicity: Some human medications can be toxic to dogs, even in small doses.
Your veterinarian can determine if Macrobid is appropriate for your dog and provide the correct dosage. They will also consider your dog's overall health and any potential drug interactions.
Please always consult a veterinarian before giving any medication to your dog.
