Always follow your veterinarian’s instructions precisely. Never administer medication without a vet’s prescription.
Oral Administration
Ciprofloxacin is usually given orally. Use a syringe to accurately measure the prescribed dose. Gently place the syringe between your cat’s cheek and gum, slowly dispensing the medication.
- Accurate Measurement: Use the correct syringe to avoid overdosing or underdosing. Gentle Approach: Avoid frightening your cat. A calm demeanor helps. Positive Reinforcement: Offer a treat immediately afterward to create a positive association. Hidden in Food: Some cats accept the medication better if hidden in wet food. Test this method with a small amount of medication first.
Monitoring Your Cat
Closely observe your cat for any adverse reactions, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite. Report any unusual symptoms to your veterinarian immediately.
Appetite Changes: Monitor food intake closely. Stool Changes: Note any changes in frequency or consistency. Behavior Changes: Watch for lethargy, unusual sleeping patterns, or changes in demeanor. Prompt Veterinary Contact: Don’t hesitate to contact your vet if you see anything concerning.
Storage
Store Ciprofloxacin as directed by your veterinarian or the medication label. Protect it from light and moisture.
