Antibiotic Use in Veterinary Dentistry The management of bacterial infections and the use of antibiotics are complex subjects. This will be a brief discussion of some of the issues involved. The clinical decision to use or not use antibiotics in a particular case always resides with the attending veterinarian. What follows is my opinion. There are others with differing opinions. My observ
