Never administer Ciprofloxacin without your veterinarian’s explicit instructions. Dosage depends entirely on your pet’s species, weight, and the specific infection being treated. Your vet will calculate the precise amount.
Ciprofloxacin is often given orally, usually mixed with food to improve palatability. Follow your vet’s directions regarding the frequency of administration (e. g., once daily, twice daily). Ensure your pet consumes the entire dose.
For some conditions, your veterinarian might prescribe injectable Ciprofloxacin. This will always be administered by a veterinary professional. Never attempt to inject Ciprofloxacin yourself.
Accurate measurement is crucial. Use the measuring device provided by your veterinarian, or a calibrated syringe if liquid medication is prescribed. Avoid using household spoons or other imprecise measuring tools.
Observe your pet closely for any adverse reactions, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite. Report any unusual behavior or symptoms to your veterinarian immediately. Complete the entire course of medication, even if your pet appears to be recovering, to prevent recurrence of the infection.
Store Ciprofloxacin as directed by your veterinarian. Typically, this means storing it in a cool, dark, and dry place, out of reach of children and pets.
