I will tell you waht my vet prescribed. .5 lb ....006 cc. Or whatever 6/10 of .10 ml is
Very small amount. 1.0 lb - .125 cc 2.0 lb - .25 cc 3 lb - ..4 cc 4 lb - .5 cc 5 lb - .6 cc 10 lb 1.0 cc I have had cats in the past he has prescribed once every other day for 3 doses..then repeat in a week. These kittens are every 48 hours. I think it depends and I'm not a vet which is why I am hesitant to self- treat this stuff. People now advocate giving clavamox as soon as I get them home. I think this is how we have so much clavamox resistant uri. But, I am not a vet. So who knows. On 5/10/07, Gloria Lane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
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
