It is recommended that you contact your veterinarian if you have any concerns about your cat while on this medication.

As I was giving the medication to my dog, she tilted the head (cause she hates it, so she tries to escape the procedure), and some of it went in her eye. I just wanted to know if it's safe or not. I did my best to wash her eye right away, but I was wondering if it can cause any irritations. Thank you.

Since this medication was not manufactured to be administered to the eye, there is the possibility of irritation. Contact your dog's veterinarian if you have further questions or concerns.

Is 1ml of 50mg/1ml once per day for two weeks too high of a concentration for my a 8 lb cat since I'm only seeing 25mg/ml?

According to the package insert, cat should get 5.0 - 15.0 mg/lb body weight dose once every 24 hours depending on the severity of the condition.

However, the dose should be determined based on the severity of the condition. Please consult with your veterinarian for advice on dosing this medication for your cat.

Is there a better way to give this medication to my dog. I currently have to give it to him twice a day and I'm struggling to get the medication in. Are you able to mix the liquid medicine with anything for him to take.

How many drops per bottle? my dogs take two tablets of this pill for two dogs 2pills twice a day for prevention of tooth decay how many bottles would I need ?

Nancy, Clindamycin hydrochloride is dosed, generally, by the weight of the animal and measured in milliliters. Each bottle contains 20mL of clindamycin hydrochloride at a strength of 25 milligrams per milliliter. This is a total of 500 milligrams of clindamycin in each bottle. Without knowing the strength of the tablet that you are currently giving each dog, it would be impossible to say how many doses a bottle would contain for your dogs. While the recommended dose for dogs is 2.5-15mg per pound of body weight every 12 hours, actual dosing will be determined by your dogs' veterinarian based on their individual needs.
