If my cat weighs 11 pounds and 62 oz. How many milligrams of Doxy I need to give for an upper respiratory infection. Thank you so much
Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Mia, but unfortunately we are not allowed to give specific dose information for a pet in regards to a medication. That would be like prescribing the medication to the pet, which is illegal without seeing her in person. It's also against the user terms of the site. This dose information can only be obtained from the vet who prescribed the doxycycline for Mia, and I would speak to her vet to get that information. Best of luck.

I keep hearing from many vets on here that doxycycline shouldnt be given to kittens, especially young ones a month or younger. I find this concerning as the shelter vet at our shelter has our URI protocol for all kittens to recurve doxycycline liquid
This is a great question. Doxycycline falls into the category of antibiotics called tetracyclines. Other tetracyclines- namely oxytetracycline- are shown to disturb bone and teeth developement in fetal skeletons or in young growing animals. Doxycycline is MUCH less likely to do this than other tetracyclines. Even so, the formulary recommends considering the risks and benefits before prescribing. Though I don’t routinely give this to kittens (I prefer clavamox) I do often give it to puppies. I have not yet seen or heard of a case of abnormal bone developement with doxycycline in kittens or puppies - but it could theoretically happen. In my opinion, doxycycline is a great drug for upper respiratory infections in cats- especially in a shelter situation which may not have the labor, funding, or storage abilities of my suburban clinic. I also feel that - especially in a shelter situation - the benefits far outweigh the risks. I am far more worried about a kitten in a shelter dying from c

I have Doxycycline 100mg. tablets. My prescription. I read online that I can give these to my cat for a uti. Can I give these to her If I can, what dosage? Please help. Thank you. Kim
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Doxycycline is not a good antibiotic for a UTI. If you are worried about a UTI in Jewel it is best to take her to a vet so they can look at the urine under the microscope and determine which antibiotic would be best and safest for her. If she doesn’t have bacteria in her urine, an antibiotic will not help her. Good luck and kisses to Jewel!

Recently 2 of my adult cat's had to be treated for uri and was given doxycycline to treat. I'm in a very bad financial situation and now one of my other adult cat's is showing the same symptoms of a uri but I just realized she has tapeworms and I am
Hi there. I can't legally advise you to give a prescription medication to any pet without an exam. But, in general, I can tell you that there should not be any problem with using doxycycline in a cat that also happens to have tapeworms. The tapeworms do not affect the medication one way or the other.

Can you give me some info on dexocycling 50mg for cats? I have a 11 mth that started last month with a 103 temp, 3rd eyelids exposed, had covenia shot, and week later steroid shot, nothing helped. Today had test, bloodwork fine, neg on felv and fiv.
No don’t crush the pills. It is very bitter. Shoving it down his throat and then chasing it with water to ensure swallowing is the best option at this point. You should really speak to your vet about having it compounded into a liquid - they can make it chicken or tuna flavor to make it more palatable. They can actually make it it many different forms. Here’s an example. I also believe they will ship it directly to you. ( https://www.wedgewoodpetrx.com/items/doxycycline-oral-suspension.html ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.
