I suggest you call your veterinarian who has supplied the amoxidrops, and tell him you do not remember the dosage. He may have adjusted the dosage specifically for your cat and has a record of it in the files. I am sure the tech on the phone can look it up and tell you. I am afraid we are not allowed to give dosages unless we have a patient owner/pet/veterinary relationship and have seen your animal in person.

    I'm sorry Lucifer has another UTI! Unfortunately, by law it is illegal for the experts at Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to give the dose information for any drug without seeing the animal in person first. That's because doing so requires a veterinary client patient relationship which cannot be achieved via an internet forum. In addition, the experts cannot say for certain if a specific drug is safe for your cat. I would call your vet to get the correct dose information for him.
