DESCRIPTION: Zobuxa Flavored Antibacterial Tablets effectively manage diseases caused by bacteria susceptible to Enrofloxacin, including urinary cystitis, respiratory infection (pneumonia, tonsillitis, or rhinitis), and dermal infections (wound or abscesses).
Key Benefits:
Enrofloxacin is a chemotherapeutic drug of synthetic origin. It is in a quinolone carboxylic acid derivative class. It is antibacterial against a broad range of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria,and it rapidly absorbs from the animal's digestive tract, which allows for penetration to every measured body tissue and fluid.
Formulated For: Intended for cats and dogs.
How is Medication Given?
For cats, administer an oral dose of 2.27 mg per pound of body weight (or 5 mg per kg). For dogs, administer an oral dose of 2.27 mg to 9.07 mg per pound of body weight (5 mg to 20 mg per kg). When selecting a dose, veterinarians should consider pathogen susceptibility, disease severity, and clinical experience. If the animal is receiving a dose at the upper end of this range, her or she should be monitored regularly for vomiting, depression, inappetence, and other clinical signs. Whether administering to a dog or a cat, administer once daily or divide and administer two equal doses each day (12 hours apart). Administer for a minimum of 2 to 3 days after clinical signs have disappeared, administering for no more than 30 days. Follow your veterinarian's directions when using this product.

Possible Side Effects:
In adult dogs treated at a dosage rate of 52 mg per kg daily for 13 weeks, isolated vomiting and inappetence occurrences were reported. Not for use in animals with quinolone hypersensitivity. Never administer a dose higher than 5 mg per kg of body weight per day to a cat. In rare cases, cats have experienced retinal toxicity when taking this medication.
Precautions:
Keep away from children and animals. Only for use in animals. Administer with caution to animals with known or suspected central nervous system disorders. Although rare, such medications have been associated with CNS stimulation in certain animals, which may lead to convulsive seizures. Quinolones have been associated with cartilage erosion in the weight-bearing joints, along with other arthropathy signs in many immature animal species. Fluoroquinolones should be cautiously and carefully used in cats, as they are known to have adverse effects on feline eyes. Not proven safe for use in breeding or pregnant cats. Avoid contact with the eys or skin. In case of eye exposure, flush immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. In case of skin contact, thoroughly wash using soap and water. Consult your veterinarian if skin or eye contact occurs. If accidental overexposure occurs, avoid direct sunlight. Photosensitization has occurred in humans within hours of excessive exposure to quinolones.
Storage Recommendations: Store at room temperature between 68 to 77 degrees F (20-25 degrees C). Excursions of temperatures ranging from 59 - 86 degrees F (15-30 degrees C) are permitted.
In Case of Overdose: Contact the nearest emergency pet clinic.
