Dogs: Administer orally at a rate to provide 5-20 mg/kg (2.27 to 9.07 mg/lb) of body weight. Selection of a dose within the range should be based on clinical experience, the severity of disease, and susceptibility of the pathogen. Animals which receive doses in the upper-end of the dose range should be carefully monitored for clinical signs that may include inappetance, depression, and vomition. If dogs do not consume Enrofloxacin Flavored Tablets willingly when offered by hand, then alternatively the tablet(s) may be offered in the food or hand-administered (pilled) as with other oral tablet medications.
