Always consult your veterinarian before administering any medication to your cat. They will determine the correct dosage based on your cat’s weight and the severity of the UTI.
Amoxicillin is typically administered orally, usually twice a day. Your vet will provide specific instructions, but common dosages range from 5 to 15 mg per pound of body weight, divided into two doses. Accurate measurement is crucial.
To help your cat take the medication, you can mix it with a small amount of wet food that your cat enjoys. Ensure your cat consumes the entire dose.
| 5 | 25-75 mg |
| 10 | 50-150 mg |
| 15 | 75-225 mg |
Note: This table provides a general range; your veterinarian will prescribe the exact amount.
Monitor your cat closely for any adverse reactions, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite. Report any unusual symptoms to your veterinarian immediately. Complete the entire course of medication, even if your cat appears better, to prevent recurrence.
Proper storage is vital. Keep amoxicillin in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Discard any unused medication after the expiry date.
