Both of my kitties have had teeth removed, one for gingivitis the other for FORL. One kitty got an antibiotic called Antirobe my other kitty got Baytril. I think Antirobe is the one that is normally given. My IBD kitty who probably has liver damage from having Fatty Liver got the Baytril. I didn't ask why but I think that was probably why he got something different.
Some people don't think an antibiotic is necessary but I think it's a good idea. When a human gets a tooth extracted they rinse out their mouth several times a day with salt water while it heals, that isn't an option with a kitty.
Alice didn't have any issues with it. I don't remember how long she was on it but it wasn't very long. I know it wasn't anything close to 10 days more like maybe 4 or 5 days.
