Cephalexin not the best option for cat bite, better then nothing I suppose...
Not sure of the breakdown, trying to research...
75 grams would be @ 0.03 , 85 grams would be @ 0.04

No Cipro or Baytril? Can you get the antibiotics from a pet store for fish?

[gbartlo]

Calling pet store now. Going now... need break Down on it.

[CritterMom]

If it is Fish Flox it is likely either 250 or 500 mg...

:thumbsup Let us know what the packaging says and we can find someone to break it down for you!

Back I have Amoxicillin 250mg capsules....how much water do I add and what dose for 80g squirrel?

[Unikorngrrl]

:dono if Amox is even indicated. I'll have to let someone else handle that. Was hoping you would get the Cipro or Baytril...

[gbartlo]

They had something that started with T. But did not see the others

[Unikorngrrl]

Probably Tetracycline. Let me see if I can get someone here that can break down and help with Amox!

I sent a PM to NiNY. I'm not sure who else might know. Let me think and try to send out a few more PMs...

Is this a hard capsule, or one that is in the gel like coating?
Either way I can break it down, just want to know which one.

[gbartlo]

Gel. It is soft in two parts light pink and hot pink
