uses
Clindamycin is used in both dogs and cats to treat bacterial infections, including skin infections, wound infections, bone infections, pneumonia, dental (tooth) infections, and other infections of the oral cavity. It has been commonly used for bacteria that grow without oxygen (anaerobic bacteria).
Clindamycin has been used to treat protozoa infections in animals; however its effectiveness for this use has been controversial.
Clindamycin is not effective against infections caused by parasites (intestinal worms), mites, viruses, or fungi.
