What should I discuss with my veterinarian before giving Enrofloxacin to my pet?

Tell your veterinarian if your pet has or may have any central nervous system disorders. Quinolone-class drugs should be used with caution in pets with known or suspected central nervous system disorders. In rare instances quinolones have been associated with central nervous system stimulation which may lead to convulsive seizures. Quinolones have also been associated with cartilage erosions and weight-bearing joints. In cats, such products should be used with caution due to reported adverse affects on the retina.

How should Enrofloxacin be given?

Enrofloxacin should be administered orally to cats and dogs for the treatment of susceptible bacterial pathogens. Pets that receive dosage at the upper end of the dose range should be carefully monitored for clinical signs that may include inappetance, depression, and vomiting. For Dogs: Administer orally at a rate to provide 5-20 mg/kg (2.27 to 9.07 mg/lb) of body weight. For Cats: Administer orally at a rate to provide 5 mg/kg (2.27 mg/lb) of body weight. Give either as a single dose or divided into 2 equal daily doses administered at 12 hour intervals. The dose should be continued for at least 2-3 days beyond cessation of clinical signs, to a maximum of 30 days.
