With all the discussion of Zithromax - What's the dosage of Zithromax
for kittens?
I got some Zithromax for a 5 week old kitten (from the pound with
URI) the other day and the directions are to give 1ml (2.5 mg) once
daily for 14 days. The kitten kind of got sluggish for a couple of
hours after the first two days and doses. I decided I wasn't gonna
do that, that the dosage isn't right. HOwever, the eye is getting
better, btw!!!
I read at network.bestfriends.org/Library/Download.aspx?d=41 that
the dosage is 5 mg of drug for every 2.2 pounds of cat or 2.3 mg per
pound of cat . I'm thinking a better dosage might be to cut back to .
5ml daily...
I also noticed at various sites on the web that there are different
protocols for administering. This protocol I'm using is daily for
14 days. Some say just one dose, one day. Some are dosing for 3
days, then repeat in a week or so.
Any thoughts on that?
Thanks!
Gloria
