This instruction has conditions or a sequence that must be read in the source context.
Dogs, Cats: Parenteral: 7 mg/kg i.m. q24h; 15 mg/kg i.m. q48h for depot preparations. Oral: ■ 10 mg/kg p.o. q8–12h. ■ 11–15 mg/kg p.o. q8h for bacterial cystitis. Evidence of a need for clavulanic acid is lacking even in infections with betalactamase producing bacteria. Dose chosen will depend on site of infection, causal organism and severity of the disease. (Doses of 16–33 mg/kg i.v. q8h are used in humans to treat serious infections.)
