Administer orally by hand. The recommended dose rate is 10mg amoxicillin/kg bodyweight twice daily for seven days. The following is intended as a guide: Cats per 4 kg: 1 x40 mg tablet twice daily for 7 days. Dogs per 8 kg: 2x40 mg tablets twice daily for 7 days. As high blood levels are achieved immediately after oral dosing parenteral antibiotic treatment may not be necessary. Betamox 40 mg Palatable Tablets are often accepted from the hand, however for the treatment of fastidious animals the tablets may be crushed and added to a little food. Any remaining medicated feed should be disposed of at the end of the day.
