How many of these do I need in order to get rid of my dog's UTI? She is about 65-70 pounds.?

Absorption of ciprofloxacin in dogs when taken by mouth can range from 32 - 80%, making the effectiveness of ciprofloxacin highly variable. Dosing recommendations for this medication vary as a result of this inconsistent absorption. Due to side effects and absorption issues, medication is often reserved for severe infections that are resistant to treatment or require intravenous antibiotics. Treatment for a UTI can be determined by many disease and patient specific factors. These include: whether the infection is caused by a bacteria or a fungus, if it is caused by a bacterial infection then which antibiotics the infection can be treated by, the severity of the infection, which medications can be tolerated by the patient and which medications have been previously tried to treat a UTI in the patient. These factors should be assessed by a veterinarian to determine which medication will be most appropriate to treat the infection. In addition, ciprofloxacin is a medication, which requires a prescription from a veterinarian. Thank you, VetRxDirect
