Question: what antibiotics are used to treat leptospirosis in dogs?
Answer: The optimal treatment for leptospirosis is unknown. Penicillins or doxycycline traditionally have been the antimicrobials of choice for treatment of humans and dogs with leptospirosis. Ceftriaxone and cefotaxime are as efficacious as penicillin in human leptospirosis. Azithromycin also may be effective.
