Help with Melvin
So, I took Melvin in, and he's been on doxycycline for 7 days now. The only dose info says 25 mg/ml. He still snorts occasionally, and today there was some snot that came to his nostril when he did. Does this sound like he needs a stronger dose, or another 7 days? I don't hear the weaze anymore, but I don't feel like he is over it.
Ugh! I didn't look at the dosage until I got home tonight. The doxy was/is 0.15 ml, which is 1.5 on the syringe. The Baytril says 1.2 mls. This would be a full syringe and another .2.
I don't recall ever giving this sort of volume before, and I was afraid to give him that much tonight. The only other info on the bottle is: Baytril 68 mg. Give 1.2 mls every 12 hrs. Does this sound OK? The vet is closed until 8 am tomorrow.

It looks like they have the decimal in the wrong place. The strength is 68 mg/ml? I haven't used a liquid form of Baytril with our guys -- just tablets. Let me see if I can calculate that out for you. What is his weight?
