Hello,My cat is supposed to take an 81 mg. aspirin every 3 days. Is this liquid the equivalent of one 81 mg tablet? Thank you.?
-
Anne, The liquid aspirin that we compound comes in two different strengths, 2mg/mL and 5mg/mL. To achieve an 81 mg dose in the liquid, you would need to give 16.2 milliliters of the 5mg/mL liquid. As we sell this in 30mL bottles, a bottle would be not quite two doses for your cat. It does not sound like the liquid would be an economical choice for your cat. Thank you, VetRxDirect
