My cat was prescribed clindamycin drops 25ml and the vet told me to give her half of the dropper twice a day. Is that right?

There is a dose range for clindamycin. We will be able to best help you if you know your cats current weight and can provide that inforrmation, if you know the concentration of the drug (mg/ml, should be on the package), and if you know how many ml you were instructed to give (should be on your syringe and the label on the bottle). If you are able to re post your question with that information we can let you know if the dose is in the dose range. But, as different diseases may be treated with a different dose, it will always be safer to verify with your vet as he or she prescribed the medication. I hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

There is a wide dosage range for this medication based on the condition that is being treated. The amount your vet prescribed is at the higher end of the dosage range, but still in a safe range that is commonly used in kittens.
