Can you hunt a dog while using doxycycline?

According to the amounts and severity of how bad you need to hunt them and how soon you want to get them all better but from what I've seen in my dog's is if I do try and hunt them it's just delays the healing process and you are just going backwards. I say that if they are on it as a treatment. But they are cases to where it's used a preventative for Lyme's disease in much milder doses and doesn't have the side effects of taking it as a treatment.
All this I say.from what I have actually experienced with my own dogs and what I believe but I am not a veterinarian but anyway I think sometimes those breeders that's had many many dogs sometimes now how to treat a hunting dog as well as anyone if they had access to the medication.. buy a veterinarian opinion is of course they number one recommend opion.

Thanks for your advice. Dog got sick I took him to three different vets and never got an answer but one put him on amoxicillin one put him on a steroid and the last vet put him on two antibiotics (one being doxycycline) and a steroid. He said he thinks it’s some kinda infection and he said a stronger antibiotic is what he’s going to use and he’s done a 180. I think the best thing to do for the dog and for my pocketbook is to just run those two antibiotics and let him heal completely. There’s no rush into getting him back in the woods I’m just ready. Already been down for two weeks now I got three more to go. Thanks
