Kitten Amoxicillin dosage: Vet vs. bottle instructions for URI?
Thank you for submitting your question regarding your kitten. Amoxicillin is a medication with a wide dosing range. I can understand your confusion with the package though. I would recommend following your veterinarian's dosing for now, but be sure to follow up with the prescribing doctor to double check. You should be able to call the office and have someone check for you. This will give you piece of mind. I hope this information helps!

Can kittens nurse if my cat is on topical amoxicillin?
Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If the kittens are 11-12 weeks old, they shouldn't still be nursing. They are old enough to be on solid kitten food now. Either way, amoxicillin is not toxic to young kittens. Kisses to Susan!

My week-old kitten has breathing issues. Is amoxicillin safe? What's the dose?
Hi, amoxicillin can be used in kittens but how do you give it ? I have witnessed some owners doing more harm then good by administering oral medications to kittens. I would recommend to see your vet so they can be started with a more effective, safe and fast acting injection and then you can continue at home with some oral drops for example. The dosage in kittens would be 10 mg per pound for 5-7 days. Hope this helps,

Can I add water to my cat's amoxicillin powder for bladder infection?
Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Macy and for providing pictures, it's very helpful. Yes, you can add water to it. You will need to add the correct amount of water to it in order to make the solution. For a 15ml size bottle, add 12ml of water. For a 30ml bottle, which is what I suspect you may have but check the bottle to be safe, add 23ml of water. I hope this helps!
