Abstract: | In a cross-over study, six Greyhounds were dosed by mouth with ampicillin and amoxycillin at 20 mg/kg, using three different feeding regimens (no food, canned food prior to dosing, and dry food ad lib ) with each drug. Antibiotic levels in plasma were determined by microbiological assay at intervals after dosing. Plasma ampicillin concentrations tended to be lower in fed than in starved Greyhounds, but amoxycillin levels were relatively unaffected by feeding. In starved Greyhounds, ampicillin gave higher early levels than amoxycillin. |
