What's the longest duration a dwarf hamster should take Enrofloxacin?

These medication may take up to 24-36 hours before reaching a stable concentration in the blood stream. i would suggest to wait a bit longer before considering a re-check unless you think the signs are actually deteriorating.

Hello, I assume you mean Enroxil ( enrofloxacin ). The usual dose for rabbits is 11 mg every 12 hours, or 22.7 mg every 24 hours for a 5-pound rabbit. This is an excellent medication for respiratory infections in rabbits. I hope Muffine is feeling better soon. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Absolutely not, Hamsters do not tolerate this antibiotics. if it is an abscess it needs to be lanced under anesthesia and then cleaned and washed, then a different antibiotic (baytril) should be given for 2-3 weeks.

Yes, it is absolutely fine to give this antibiotic for so long, in fact for this type of condition it must be given for at least 3 weeks. regarding the pyritinol if your vet prescribed it you should give it to him too.

Considering that these signs could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract infection, yes you can use it, but if the signs persist despite a week course of this antibiotic a veterinary check up is absolutely needed. Dosage you can use would be 5mg/kg orally every 12 hours. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

The typical dose of enrofloxacin for dogs is 2.5 to 10 mg per pound (5 to 20 mg/kg) orally per day. The total daily dose may be given once a day or divided into twice daily doses. So, the dose she was prescribed is on the high end of the dosing range for her weight but still within the recommended dosage. If you are concerned I suggest you call your vet for clarification. 31 pounds / 2.2 pounds per kg = 14kg 14kg x 20 mg/kg (high end of the dosing range) = 281.8 mg 281.8mg / 135mg tablets = 2 tablets

On average we will prescribe this medication for 10-14 days, and anything over 21-28 days is not ideal due to the possible permanent effects on the bacterial flora in the gut. I hope that this helps! Take care. : )
