The same, only different.
Each of the species gets pretty much the same antibiotic for the same pathogen, but animals present with very different weights, which calls for somewhat different dosages. Furthermore, since the vetting of meds for animals is not what it is for humans, many meds can be available to animals that simply are not developed for humans, and some meds for humans, owing to the extensive research behind them, are expensive, and similar products are available for animals that do not have that extensive testing, and thus are less expensive.
Every species differs in many ways, both qualitative and quantitatively, but overall, we find a very strong similarity. Antibiotics work in substantially the same way to defeat the same or similar pathogen. Antibiotics (or some of them anyway) work by causing the pathogen to clump, making them much easier targets for our T-cells.
I had a cat who had some problems with wheezing, and he took the same medication I have for my asthma, and it was helpful for him. I took the inhaler and discharged it as I was breathing in, and that was fine. For him, I got him on my lap, got him settled, put the inhaler (with a special mask with an air reservoir) over his mouth and nose. He had a few times when he started to panic, but in time he realized that this didn’t interfere with his breathing, and I would talk to him, telling him what a wonderful kittie he was, and, of course petting him gently. The mask has a little red flag that flips slightly to show that the kittie is breathing in, and after I had the mask seated so we have a seal, I let him do a breath or two, and discharged the inhaler, and watched him take in a number of breaths. In time, perhaps he began to realize this was helpful for him, as he resisted less. It was the same medication. Same brand, same inhaler. Now that Max has died, I use his inhaler. Now the dose given is for the lungs of a human, and Max’s lungs were much smaller, but I think the method of administration meant that he got a considerably smaller percentage of the product. It worked for both of us.

Some are the same, others are not. It really depends on what’s being treated. In some species antibiotics can be deadly. For instance Penicillin should be used with great caution in rodents. All animals and humans harbor some bacteria. Some classes of antibiotics can kill that natural or even helpful bacteria.
