 [ Symptoms ] i am pretty sure that my lab has ear mites can i give him human antibiotics [ Disease ] no absolutely not in the first place ear mites in animals are not usually treated with oral antibiotics in the second place you should not have any leftover antibiotics to give your dog whenever you receive a prescription for antibiotics it is crucial you take the entire prescription according to the label instructions if you stop taking the antibiotics before they are all gone it may contribute to the rise of antibiotic resistant germs like mrsa please do not ever try to save or conserve antibiotics for another illness you need to take them all but back to your dog it is impossible for a lay person to diagnose ear mites this diagnosis requires an examination by a veterinarian using a lighted scope and other diagnostic tests please take your pet to a veterinarian if you believe he has a health problem
