You will need to call your vet tomorrow and ask him how often you are to use this on your cat. You are to brush the fur as far as I can tell. Best discuss this with your vet tomorrow morning. Sorry, but we cannot give you doses or instructions on the use of medicated shampoos dispensed to you, as your vet may have a special dosage in mind.
