Medication dosage question

[catnapper]

Allen has a UTI (he gets these every so often). I usually give him Clavamox in pills. I'm out of pills and just have liquid. Does anyone know how much liquid Clavamox to give a 20 pound cat? I tried to google the info and got nowhere except to sites offering to sell me Clavamox

PS: Since this is a typical Allen cycle, he no longer goes to the vet for this. I simply medicate and he's better in a few days. So there's no need to suggest I call the vet for this info. They'll tell me he HAS to come in for an exam. Unless $100 appears out of nowhere this weekend, he isn't going to the vet. I know my boy and this is a pretty typical cycle for him. If the Clavamox fails, I'll find a way to take him to the vet, but honestly its a waste of money for an almost routine thing for him.

I'd go with 1/2 cc (I had to go look at the syringe). If you don't see an improvement, bump it up to 1 cc. per day. The shelf life of Clavamox liquid, once it's been diluted with water, it's good for 10 days, although I've pushed it to 2 weeks or till it's gone.

Any liquid antibotic I have ever given has been 1 ml (15 ml bottle) and that has been for any size.
Either done it 1x a day or 2x a day.
Does your PetSmart have a vet inhouse? If so since you work there I'm sure they would tell you.

We had a large cat (16 lb) who got 1.5 cc 2x a day. I think the dose is 1 cc/ 10 lbs, so yours would get 2 cc 2x a day. Good luck!

what is the dosage of the pills?? if a pill is lets say 250 mgs then give the equivalent in liquid form they can be 250 mgs for one tspn or 500 or even less just check the label........can you tell us so give e better advice??

Ok, dumb question: is cc the same as ml? Because my syringe is listed in ml.

There's no vet at my Petsmart yet. I just mixed the Clavimox into liquid this morning so no worries there.
