Orbax (orbifloxacin)
Oral Suspension
Antimicrobial
(30mg/mL)
Cat dosage: 3.4mg/lb (7.5mg/kg) of body weight administered once daily
Dog dosage: 1.1 to 3.4mg/lb of body weight administered once daily
I'll update this list as I find more options but here are my other available meds:
Clindamycin
With this information I've read I wouldn't think Orbax would be a consideration especially with a pinky.
"Orbax is considered safe for use in dogs-cats but should not be administered to puppies under any circumstances.
In the case of young cats, more severe side effects like cartilage hardening may occur, so it's best to
avoid using Orbax in kittens if at all possible."
I do not think Clindamycin would have any effect on respiratory, it's mostly used for oral or skin infections.
Try appealing to family and lady friends that may have Cipro, it is a medication used by many "woman."
Amoxicillin is another ab often prescribed with a pill or two left un taken one may have in their cabinet.
