Thank you for submitting your question regarding your kitten. Amoxicillin is a medication with a wide dosing range. I can understand your confusion with the package though. I would recommend following your veterinarian's dosing for now, but be sure to follow up with the prescribing doctor to double check. You should be able to call the office and have someone check for you. This will give you piece of mind. I hope this information helps!

Cat went to vet today needs amoxicillin how many days do I give it to her
That would depend on the underlying cause for this treatment. Generally speaking not less than 4 consecutive days, but treatment may be needed even for several weeks. Please repost your question with more precise informations about the diagnosis.

I've been giving my female cat a topical amoxicillin for a puncture wound to help prevent infection, she has kittens (11-12wks.) Is it safe for them to nurse her while she is/has been using it?
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! If the kittens are 11-12 weeks old, they shouldn't still be nursing. They are old enough to be on solid kitten food now. Either way, amoxicillin is not toxic to young kittens. Kisses to Susan!

Week old kittens having serious respiratory problems. Is it safe for newborns to take amoxicillin? And if so what dosage?
Hi, amoxicillin can be used in kittens but how do you give it ? I have witnessed some owners doing more harm then good by administering oral medications to kittens. I would recommend to see your vet so they can be started with a more effective, safe and fast acting injection and then you can continue at home with some oral drops for example. The dosage in kittens would be 10 mg per pound for 5-7 days. Hope this helps,

Adopted female kitten 2 wks old. Was given amoxicillin 500mg capsules for sneezing. How much do I give her, dilute with water, put in her food, give with dropper, How much do I give her.
Amoxicillin will help treat or prevent secondary infection. If the sneezing is due to viral upper respiratory infection, the amoxicillin will be ineffective in treatment. You could dilute it with water but without knowing the kitten's body weight, it would be impossible to determine the dilution (so you have enough for any treatment) as well as the dose. Ideally, the kitten should be examined by your veterinarian. He or she can dispense medication that is already diluted or reconstituted properly if indicated. Amoxi-Drops or Clavamox Drops are frequently dispensed to treat infection in cats and kittens.
