In dogs, infections successfully treated with Lincocin include pustular dermatitis, abscesses, infected wounds (including bite and fight wounds), tonsillitis, laryngitis, uterine infections, and secondary bacterial infections associated with the canine distemper-hepatitis complex.

Loose stools occasionally have been observed in dogs and cats on oral doses. Vomiting in cats has occasionally been reported following oral administration.
