Unsure how long to keep giving my cat antibiotics, the vet prescribed them last monday saying give them for a week, so the cat has had the drug 7 times now. Do I give one more dose tomorrow or is the week done?

    Usually seven days, but the vet may want you to use up all of the medication rather than going by the calendar.

      If it’s liquid, often they give you way too much, cause it’s hard to measure it out correctly, and they often give you a whole bottle regardless of how many doses you need.

      If it’s pills, you usually get the exact amount.
