Never administer Ciprofloxacin to your cat without explicit veterinary instruction. Dosage depends heavily on factors like your cat’s weight, the specific infection, and the Ciprofloxacin formulation (tablet, liquid). A vet will perform a thorough examination and prescribe the appropriate dose.
Typical dosages range from 5 to 10 mg per kilogram of body weight, administered twice daily. For example, a 5 kg cat might receive 25-50 mg total per day, split into two doses. However, this is merely a general guideline, and individual needs vary considerably.
Your vet will provide precise instructions, including the exact amount, frequency, and duration of treatment. Carefully follow these instructions; deviating can harm your cat. The vet may also recommend a specific route of administration (oral or injection).
Accurate weight measurement is critical for precise dosing. Use a pet scale for the most accurate reading. Always measure and administer the medication carefully using the appropriate measuring device provided by your veterinarian or pharmacist.
Observe your cat closely for adverse reactions such as vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite. Report any unusual changes to your vet immediately. Never abruptly stop treatment; complete the full course as directed.
