Never administer Ciprofloxacin to your cat without first consulting your veterinarian. Dosage depends entirely on your cat’s weight, the specific infection, and your vet’s assessment. Self-treating can be harmful.
Your vet will determine the appropriate dosage and treatment duration. They will consider factors such as your cat’s age, overall health, and the severity of the infection. Expect a personalized treatment plan.
Typical dosages are usually calculated based on milligrams per kilogram of body weight (mg/kg). This is not a substitute for professional guidance; only your veterinarian can provide a safe and effective dosage.
Cat’s Weight | Dosage is directly proportional to weight. |
Infection Type | Different infections require different treatment durations and potentially different dosages. |
Vet’s Assessment | The veterinarian will account for all relevant health factors to create a safe and effective treatment plan. |
Frequency of Administration | Your vet will specify how often the medication should be given (e. g., once or twice daily). |
Always follow your veterinarian’s instructions precisely. Administering the medication incorrectly can reduce its effectiveness or cause adverse reactions. Monitor your cat closely for any unusual side effects and report them immediately to your vet.
Proper medication storage is also crucial. Follow the storage instructions on the label to ensure the medication maintains its potency and safety.
