Uses : Useful in a range of disease situations such as urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, soft tissue infections such as abscesses, skin disease and dental disease.
Dose rate : For dogs and cats 12.5 mg/per kg of your animal’s body weight given twice daily for five to seven days. Resistant infections may need a longer course.
